Gender-Inclusive Financial Regulation

This pivotal course explores the crucial role of **financial regulation and supervision** in reducing the gender gap in access to and use of financial services. Participants will learn how to analyze the specific barriers women face—from identity requirements and data bias to product design and financial capability—and how regulatory policy can actively address them. The course emphasizes the framework of **Gender-Inclusive Financial Regulation (GIFR)**, focusing on policy tools such as mandating sex-disaggregated data, promoting women's leadership in finance, and removing gender bias from regulatory requirements, ultimately leading to a more equitable and stable financial system.
