This National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS) is a renewed commitment to financial inclusion in Zambia and builds on previous efforts and ongoing initiatives by Government. The vision for financial inclusion in Zambia is to have universal access to and usage of a broad range of quality and affordable financial products and services. In achieving this vision, it is expected that all Zambians will reap the full benefits of financial inclusion: that is, individuals will be able to use appropriate savings, credit, payment, insurance, and investment services to manage risks, plan for the future, and achieve their goals, and firms will be able to access affordable financing to facilitate innovation and firm growth and create employment.
