Access to the internet in ASEAN is growing at phenomenal speed and yet access to bank accounts, credit cards and financial services remains stubbornly low. If the region is truly to develop a digital economy and vibrant e-commerce market, how can this mismatch be addressed?

Dimensions to be addressed:
- Understanding the barriers to financial inclusion and impact on e-commerce
- Exploring the potential for digital wallets, mobile money, crypto currencies and online financial services
- Leapfrogging traditional banking and payments infrastructure as low- and middle-income consumers come online
- Enhancing credit systems for citizens

This session was developed in partnership with Caixin Media.
