The World Bank Group reiterated its commitment during the 2015 Spring Meetings, along with the announcement of the commitments made by the private sector to universal financial access (UFA), including banks and non-bank financial service providers from around the world. This report aims to present lessons for the future, focusing on the portion of the UFA initiative that was led by the World Bank's Finance, Competitiveness, and Innovation (FCI) Global Practice. The World Bank's activities led by FCI focused on: (i) global policy work including activities to promote UFA and financial inclusion in the global development agenda, for example, through development partners, the G20, and standard-setting bodies (SSBs), (ii) development of various toolkits and knowledge products which can be used for policy guidance and implementation, (iii) data collection to inform policy making and measure progress, and (iv) structuring and delivering technical assistance and lending operations at country-level to implement policies and reforms to improve UFA.
