We have an exciting announcement to share! 🌟Helicap is thrilled to team up with Temasek Trust and United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), to pioneer the first-ever impact-focused financial inclusion report in Southeast Asia: “Financial Inclusion in Post-COVID Southeast Asia: Accelerating Impact Beyond Access.” 📈🧳 Working hand in hand with the Centre for Impact Investing and Practices (CIIP), this comprehensive study dives deep into the impact of various Financial Services Providers (FSPs) including traditional non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs) and FinTechs, as they work tirelessly to expand access to financial services, particularly credit, across the region. The key insights of this report includes: ⭐️ Credit access has a disproportionately positive impact on women 👩🏻🦰, who are more inclined to utilise loans for both business endeavors and household 🏡 well-being. Therefore, investing in lending to women within the region can serve as a catalyst for 🔀 transformative change and emerge as a critical sector for gender-lens investing. ⭐️ A robust correlation exists between the extent of impact and elevated customer satisfaction levels among 💰 financial service providers (FSPs) operating in Southeast Asia. Amidst escalating competition, the attainment of high customer satisfaction 😁presents a compelling rationale for embedding impactful practices within the core operations of businesses. ⭐️ Southeast Asia harbours a significant untapped🪟market for comprehensive financial services. While insurance and savings enjoy popularity, services catering to business development and🛍️ e-commerce exhibit exceptional value, particularly among female, FinTech, and urban customers. ⭐️ FSPs can effectively balance impact and commercial viability through the application of innovative solutions and cost 💵 reduction strategies. The promising track record of FinTech companies in reducing operational expenses, with a nearly 50% drop in weighted average OPEX/revenue over the past four years, showcases their capacity for financial optimisation. Additionally, traditional non-banking finance 🏦 institutions serving marginalised populations have demonstrated sustained profitability, affirming the potential for impact-driven FSPs to target commercial returns while ensuring long-term business sustainability.
