My name is Deasy Priadi and I am an MBA candidate at Johns Hopkins Carey Business School. I was born and raised in Indonesia where the gap between rich and poor is disturbingly wide. I became interested in financial inclusion after reading Muhammad Yunus' book, titled 'Creating a World Without Poverty'. I was intrigued by the fact that underprivileged people, those who need money the most, have difficulty accessing financial institutions, the opposite to those who are well-off.
Information and communications technology accelerates financial inclusion, enabling more people to have access to capital. It only took ICT years to make an impact as big as what Yunus has done in decades. With this blog, I would like to write about ICT and financial inclusion from a non-IT background point of view. I hope you enjoy it!

Financial Inclusion
'Full financial inclusion is a state in which all people who can use them have access to a full suite of quality financial services, provided at affordable prices, in a convenient manner, and with dignity for the clients. Financial services are delivered by a range of providers, most of them private, and reach everyone who can use them, including disabled, poor, and rural populations.'
