Sustainable development has become one of the defining challenges for finance and financial regulation. As governments, regulators, investors, and international organizations seek to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), financial inclusion is increasingly recognized as a critical driver of long-term economic, social, and environmental progress.
Recognizing innovation as our best strategy to support balanced growth and to build long-term sustainable economies, Inclusive Sustainable Finance: Law, Regulation, and Development presents a rigorous analytical framework for developing inclusive sustainable financial systems that brings together financial inclusion, environmental sustainability, innovation, and commercial viability. It examines how legal and regulatory systems can support these objectives, covering topics including identity systems, disclosure, financial regulation, data protection, sustainability legislation, blended finance, and impact investment.
Drawing on experience gained through advising regulators in over 70 countries and more than 40 international organizations, the authors develop a strategic approach that focuses on innovation, efficiency, and growth to advance inclusion, resilience, and environmental sustainability. This book offers an authoritative roadmap for policymakers, regulators, practitioners, and researchers seeking to build more inclusive and sustainable financial systems
