FIW 2025 Theme
Building Resilience & Well-being During Rising Uncertainties
Today’s rapidly evolving global landscape demands more than just access — it demands resilience. Compounding global challenges, including economic shocks, climate change, geopolitical instability, and digital vulnerabilities, require financial systems that not only include — but empower — the most vulnerable. How can we channel innovation to build resilience and well-being? Can we reimagine digital finance as a tool to bridge digital divides, reduce fraud, and promote inclusive growth for all?
