1 Round Table Financial Inclusion JULY 4TH 09:30-15:30 THE RITZ-CARLTON MEETING ROOM "A" ALHADA DISTRICT, MEKKAH ROAD RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA FINANCIAL INCLUSION CO-HOST:
2 Overview. Women 20 is an official engagement group of the G20 formed by an international network of women leaders from civil society organizations, the business sector, entrepreneurs and think tanks. Its objective is to influence decision-making groups of the G20 to carry out policies towards gender equality, and to meet the goal of advocating for more prosperous and inclusive societies. This can be accomplished through more access to education, health and political participation, but also through ensuring full participation of women in economic activities. The roundtable is a fundamental phase within our international dialogue process. The final document of each topic is elaborated to be finally discussed and voted at the W20 Summit in October 2018, in Buenos Aires. During this one-day working session, the W20 working network gathers together to prioritize strong recommendations that will have a significant impact on G20 leaders. At this roundtable on Financial Inclusion supported by SABB, W20 delegates and experts, together with our Co-Chairs, partners and sponsors, will discuss the main topics to draft the document that includes the recommendations to improve the financial inclusion of women. Experts will give technical and theoretical input on the main issues to be addressed, while the delegates and the W20 team will debate and work on drafting the document to deliver at the summit. 2
3 *Financial Inclusion Despite the general progress made in terms of financial inclusion, women remain at a disadvantage when compared to their male counterparts. Globally, they are 55% of unbanked people. In developed countries, the gender gap in bank account ownership reaches 7%, rising to 9% in developing countries, where only 44% of wage-earning women report receiving their salaries via bank deposit. There are barriers which exclude women from the financial world that need to be tackled. The main discussions we are carrying out to elaborate recommendations are the following: 1 Guarantee access to funding for women-owned and women-led enterprises, both at the start-up and expansion stages as investment in business incubators, accelerators, reduce interest rates and increase terms of payment for women-led enterprises. 2 Guarantee that financial products and services offered by financial institutions have a gender perspective and take into account women's context and constraints. 3 Explore the use of digital financial services to enable the financial inclusion of women, especially those in the informal market. Explore their potential to access credit, international remittances or government payments. Include an analysis of regulations needed, privacy of data and customer protection. 4 Collect, analyze and share sex-disaggregated data to elaborate evidence-based policies for the financial inclusion of women, especially in areas with little or outdated data. 3

5 Format The format of the session will consist of a roundtable debate with two moderators and four experts on the main topics to be addressed. The W20 and SABB will be in charge of the moderation of the session and selection of experts. The session will include an experts intervention, a discussion and debate on the topics presented, followed by the writing session of the Communiqué. All participants will receive a CONCEPT NOTE with key issues and relevant information about the recommendations a week before the round table. This document will be available in the meeting room as well. ABOUT THE MODERATION PROCESS: there will be two moderators, one outside the table providing context and conceptual input, and another one on the table managing the speakers, timing and dynamics of the meeting. ABOUT THE EXPERTS INTERVENTION: each expert will present each specific topic and after the intervention, table moderators will open the discussion and debate among delegates and other guests. SABB will be taking notes to improve the final document. Once the experts intervention and debate session are finished, delegates, guests and SABB alongside with the W20 will write the Communiqué. At this stage, we expect to read out loud the recommendations discussed on the table and voted on Mango Apps. ABOUT THE DELEGATES PARTICIPATION: the delegates on the table must vote which paragraph will be included in the Communiqué. If a delegate does not approve a paragraph in particular, an amendment or correction must be proposed and the members on the table can provide their perspective. EVERY PARAGRAPH OF THE COMMUNIQUÉ MUST BE AGREED BY ALL THE DELEGATES PRESENT IN THE SESSION. ABOUT THE COMMUNIQUÉ: a 1 to 2 pages final document will be published by the W20 after the session. The complete summary of the meeting will be delivered to the participants at least 3 days after the session. 5
