Additionally, it examines the global factors that influence DF, including the need for effective and streamlined financial services, the utilization of digital technologies to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the promotion of financial inclusion through digital methods and the improvement of payment and settlement efficiency. Further, this chapter focuses on analyzing global advancements in DF, highlighting the significant impact of investments in the FinTech and mobile money sectors. Moreover, this chapter envisions a forthcoming era in the realm of DF characterized by a conducive setting enabling the delivery of a wide range of financial offerings and solutions customized to meet the specific requirements of individuals, all within a unified digital framework.
