Financial inclusion is the provision of appropriate and convenient financial services, especially for low-income and vulnerable people to increase the opportunities of assessing financial services, thus enhancing the livelihood, augmenting cash flow of investment capital and of savings, thereby boosting economic growth. Financial inclusion is an important foundation for economic development and poverty reduction. Financial inclusion is implemented in five main ways: Development of new products, diversifying networks of financial service providers, financial infrastructure development, protection of financial service users and universalizes financial education.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the meeting, Chairwoman Ngan emphasized that Vietnam would like to receive support from the United Nations to develop financial inclusion.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

The Chairwoman said that she will assign one of the National Assembly\u2019s committees to supervise agreements. She added that Vietnam has the Bank of Social Policy providing financial services to the poor and disadvantaged people in rural, mountainous and remote areas. However, due to the weakness of working conditions and poor infrastructure in those regions, the performance of the bank in such areas is not high. Thus, Vietnam wants to receive more support from the international community including the Netherlands in this area.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Queen Maxima highly appreciated the the State Bank of Vietnam\u2019s work in drafting the national plan for financial inclusion. Nevertheless, the Queen reiterated that the process shall need the contributions of related ministries and agencies, especially the private sectors and NGOs. She asserted that such a professional system shall attract prestigious institutions to invest in financial inclusion enhancing economic growth.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

In particular, attention was paid to the policy of micro-credit for SMEs, an enormous resource for the growth of jobs and the economy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

In addition, according to Queen Maxima, the content of this topic is not only about credit policy, but also the areas of savings and insurance to help people avoid risks in businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
