3  Ladies and Gentlemen, Nepal Rastra Bank and the Government of Nepal have been according due priority in enhancing financial inclusion. Some policy models were introduced in the past for advancing financial inclusion. These included the Grameen Bank Model, the Wholesale Micro Finance Model, the Directed Lending Model, Project-Based Micro Credit Model, and the FINGOs and the SACCOs Model.
Rather than spending time on these models, I shall focus the remainder of my address on the policy measures that were initiated by the NRB and the Government for promoting financial inclusion.
