 President Samia, Ministers, Governor Tuduba, Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome everyone to the launch of the third Tanzanian National Financial Inclusion Framework. It is a pleasure to virtually join you today. In 2013, I had the privilege of supporting the first framework alongside the late Governor Undulu, an inspiration to all of us. Samia has made incredible strides since then. During my visit to Kilimanjaro last October, I met with moholo farmers. They use innovative micro-insurance services provided by Acre Africa to help mitigate extreme weather impacts. The financial services provider offers affordable micro-insurance to farmers using weather satellite data to assess and predict risks. In disaster strikes, this data is used to trigger payouts that farmers receive digitally. This innovative set of digital services is helping farmers become more resilient to climate change. With a confidence gained from insurance coverage, they now invest in drought-resistant seeds and vital inputs like fertilizers to maximize crop yields. Non-innovation can unleash a cascade of benefits. This is a holistic promise of inclusive finance, especially digital. Financial inclusion matters because it has the power to transform lives and livelihoods. Yet, it is not an end. Rather, financial inclusion is a catalyst for job creation and enables active participation in an increasingly digital economy. It also provides a safety net against adversities like illness, drought or accidents while simultaneously fostering financial health. Additionally, it empowers women, boosts income levels and enhances productivity. These benefits go beyond individuals and families. They resonate throughout the whole nation and contribute to stronger, more cohesive communities. Today, I am thrilled by Tanzania's powerful vision to harness technology and data for inclusive and affordable digital financial services. The renewed focus on improving access and usage is critical. I am also delighted to see the commitment to enhancing the quality of financial services, making sure they are beneficial and help build resilience for everyone in Tanzania. This sets a new standard and Majesty Tanzania's reputation as a global leader in financial inclusion. Ensuring inclusive and secure digital infrastructure is paramount, particularly in overcoming the challenges faced by the most vulnerable groups, including the youth, women and small businesses. I applaud the thoughtful approach taken in policy plans to specifically address the needs of these segments. Also congratulations to Governor Tutuba, Amit and Chemba on your commendable efforts. I am certain you both are aware that this is just the beginning. Your continued guidance in sequencing and prioritizing outcomes, coordinating across government and defining how different strategic objectives effectively complement each other will be essential. Creativity and engagement with customers, innovators and various government entities will be needed to maximize the benefits of digital financial inclusion for the poor and vulnerable. Finally, I accept my gratitude to President Samia for your unwavering support in making financial inclusion a top priority for advancing Tanzania's economic and social development. Your steadfast leadership will play a pivotal role in effectively coordinating, implementing and ensuring accountability among agencies to deliver tangible results. My partners and I are here to support you. I wish you success in all your efforts. Thank you.
