Abstract
This paper aims to examine how digitalisation, particularly digital payments innovations and innovative payment initiatives, such as central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), can play a pivotal role in fostering micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) access to finance. Around the globe, there is an increasing focus on ways to exploit the potential of emerging digital financial technologies, including digital payments, to accelerate MSME access to finance and achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This interplay between digital payments innovations, SDGs, and MSME financial inclusion is in line with the Addis Ababa Action Agenda (United Nations, 2015), the Secretary-General’s Strategy for Financing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2018 – 2021) (United Nations, 2018), and the report of the Task Force on Digital Financing of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) entitled “People’s Money: Harnessing Digitalization to Finance a Sustainable Future” (UN Secretary-General's Task Force on Digital Financing of the Sustainable Development Goals, 2020). Yet, achieving these envisaged benefits will require thoughtful consideration and management of various systemic risks and impacts across jurisdictions and governance levels.
