style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <strong>Global financial inclusion has lost momentum in 2025, following two years of steady <\/strong><strong>progress<\/strong>, according to the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/10\/1159.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Global Financial Inclusion Index (pdf)<\/a> by Principal Financial Group and the Center for Economics and Business Research (Cebr). The Index \u2014 which evaluates the roles of governments, financial systems, and employers across 42 markets \u2014 edged down to 49.4 points from 49.6 a year earlier, though it remains well above the 2022 baseline of 41.7. Singapore maintained its lead as the world\u2019s most financially inclusive market for the fourth straight year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">The slowdown was driven primarily by a pullback from employers<\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">, with the employer support score dropping 0.6 points as 83% of markets reported declines. Persistent geopolitical tensions and shifting trade dynamics have left companies cautious, scaling back on employee benefits and flexible pay programs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Governments and financial systems continued to play a stabilizing role<\/strong>, as the global government support score rose 0.6 points, with 35 markets posting gains in one or both pillars. Although the global financial system score slipped by 0.9 points, wealthier regions \u2014 including North America, Europe, and the Middle East \u2014 posted modest improvements, signaling stronger institutional resilience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Gulf states recorded the strongest y-o-y gains in the financial system pillar<\/strong>, fueled by rapid fintech growth and ongoing digital transformation. The UAE led the advance, climbing five positions and 3.9 points to the 24th spot, while Saudi Arabia rose four spots and 1.8 points to rank 35th.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>US steadies after earlier declines:<\/strong> The US posted a modest 0.6-point increase in its overall score, snapping two consecutive years of decline while maintaining its seventh place globally. The uptick reflected gains in financial system support, including better access to credit, private lending growth, and fintech expansion. However, broader economic headwinds and subdued SME growth limited further progress.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Markets with higher financial literacy and robust digital infrastructure proved more <\/strong><strong>resilient to debt stress in tighter monetary conditions<\/strong>, Principal Asset Management CEO Kamal Bhatia noted. A 1% rise in financial literacy correlates with a 2.8% reduction in household loan defaults and a 6.7% decline in debt-to-income ratios, contributing to long-term GDP growth, the report found. Digital finance reforms \u2014 such as instant payments and open banking \u2014 have also propelled gains in countries like Argentina, South Korea, and Brazil since 2022.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Looking ahead: <\/strong>Geopolitical shocks and economic headwinds are reshaping the path of global financial inclusion, Cebr\u2019s managing economist Pushpin Singh said. He emphasized the need for deeper financial literacy efforts and stronger collaboration among employers, governments, and financial institutions to sustain global progress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">MARKETS THIS MORNING-<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>US-China trade worries are weighing down Asian markets this morning<\/strong>. Japan\u2019s Nikkei is down 1.4% in early trading, while the Shanghai Composite is down 0.9% and Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng is down 0.7%. Meanwhile, Wall Street futures are mixed as investors process earnings.<\/p>\n<div class=\"stock-ticker-panel\">\n<table class=\"table stock-ticker-table markets-table\">\n<tbody>\n<tr
