It also explores the challenges and opportunities resulting from today's digital revolution for consumers, small businesses and particularly disadvantaged groups. The report then highlights the need to further enhance consumer protection and financial education frameworks to more effectively target digital finance, and identifies financial literacy initiatives and policy options that can help consumers better manage any potential digital risks and benefits.
