32 Agenda Promoters of the Financial Inclusion Roadmap The formulation process of the Roadmap Proposed vision and congruence with NSEDP VIII Thematic areas and possible partners identified Proposed implementation setup and next steps The thematic areas in detail 32
33 1. Improve the availability and sustainability of credit provision Objectives: Improve the availability of credit, particularly for productive activities (MSMEs, farming) on terms that are suitable for the borrowers and sustainable for the credit providers. Action items Review interest rate policy, notably the provision of subsidised credit by government and the impact of interest rate caps Reform to reduce fiscal costs and improve credit discipline and impact effectiveness. Seek to learn from relevant international best practice. Develop new credit products; reduce dependence upon collateralised lending; pay more attention to ability of borrowers to service debt Develop MSME credit through lines of wholesale credit, guarantee funds Introduce rules on product information disclosure (e.g. APRs on credit and savings) and restrict credit institutions from using flat rate credit; Improve the effectiveness of credit information collection and sharing, credit information registry Develop insurance products to support credit (e.g. credit life, whereby debt dies with the borrower) 33
34 2. Consumer Empowerment Objectives: Improve consumers ability to understand financial services and make appropriate financial decisions; improve the protection of consumers; improve disclosure, transparency, and the consistency of regulation Action items Integrate learning on financial literacy into the education system; Financial institutions develop financial literacy amongst their customers Establish compulsory procedures for dealing with customer complaints Financial institutions to report publicly, consistently and in a timely manner Regularly publish all relevant financial sector statistics. Extend deposit insurance from banks to MFIs Rules on product information disclosure (e.g. APRs on credit and savings) Restrict credit institutions from using flat rate credit Introduce tiered KYC regulations and ensure that AML/CFT regulation is more effectively implemented Consistent regulatory requirements across different but similar types of institutions, and consistent interpretation of laws and regulations Faster finalisation of draft laws and regulations relating to the financial sector Ensure that all laws, regulations, guidelines and directives are publicly and readily available 34
35 3. Strengthen village funds for sustainability and relevance to rural populations Objectives: Build on the successes of Village Funds and address weaknesses, to extend provision of stable, semi-formal financial services culturally suited to low income populations. Action items BoL should take on regulatory and supervisory responsibility for the VF sector. Introduce establish regulations, covering operating procedures, accounting and reporting requirements, cash management, risk management, provisioning etc., applicable to all VFs, perhaps graduated and related to size; Direct supervision of larger VFs by BoL; delegate supervisory responsibility for smaller VFs Build on successes of GIZ-AFP support & capacity building programme for VFs Develop regional support organisations Mobilise political support for stabilisation of VFs to ensure sustainability 35
36 4. Improve the Payments Eco-System Objectives: Reduce overall costs of payments, increase access. Improve payments infrastructure. Establish more contact points (mobile, agency). Penetrate rural areas. Utilise mobile money and DFS to provide financial products directly or as distribution channels. Action items Ensure the rollout of mobile money and digital financial services Develop propertly functioning agent networks Introduce cross-border mobile money Develop payments system infrastructure (RTGS, clearing, national switch) Finalise regulatory and legal framework for mobile money and other payments mechanisms Establish payments service providers association Promote interoperability between platforms and service providers 36
37 5. Extend the outreach of banks and other financial service providers Objectives: Extend the availability of financial products and services through both improved physical outreach and enhanced product design. Move banks beyond their current focus on urban areas and serving higher income / formally employed consumers. Action items Banks need to be more innovative in extending distribution networks through branches and non-branch channels More innovation in product design, moving beyond traditional products. Investigate the potential for branchless banking using independent agents. Regulatory barriers to the establishment of new branches by banks, MFIs and leasing companies such as additional capital requirements - should be removed. Consider strategic alliances between banks and MFIs. 37
