- The roundtable emphasized the need for financial access for the estimated 1.7 billion people globally without formal banking services.
- Wall highlighted that true financial inclusion requires both access and financial literacy to empower individuals.
- Key attendees included leaders from the World Bank, SWIFT, and various academic institutions committed to sustainable development.
