Acacia has recently been engaged by the Gates Foundation on a multiyear project on competition enablers and financial inclusion, which spans eight developing countries. Our research will bridge the gap between research and actionable policy. By synthesizing existing global research and new empirical evidence, we will provide country-specific insights to regulators and policymakers on the ways in which competition can be used to drive inclusion through more innovation, lower costs, improved service quality, enhanced customer experience, and extended reach to underserved populations.
