*  *  *  Welcome to the beginning of our collective journey to change Filipino lives for the better through financial inclusion. In this journey, the National Strategy for Financial Inclusion (NSFI) which we are launching today, shall serve as our road map.
About the NSFI: Overview For the Philippine government, financial inclusion is an enduring vision – financial inclusion that supports inclusive growth, one that promotes shared economic development, upholds social cohesion and reduces income inequality. This is explicit in the Philippine Development Plan. Indeed, inclusive growth is the ultimate goal. This is the reason why many agencies are engaged in development activities.
