Alliance CBX

About

The Alliance Central Bank Exchange (Alliance CBX) is a new initiative designed to strengthen dialogue and practical collaboration between central banks and the financial sector on advancing women’s financial inclusion.

The Alliance CBX was developed in response to discussions with central bank leaders about the importance of creating stronger mechanisms for peer learning, public-private exchange, and sharing practical approaches to accelerate inclusive financial systems.

The initiative launches in June, bringing together policymakers, APEX organizations, and private-sector leaders to explore how policy, regulation, data, and private-sector innovation can work together to expand opportunities for women entrepreneurs and consumers.

As its first phase, Alliance CBX will convene a three-part webinar series focused on:

  • Adapting the UK Women in Finance Charter for Emerging Markets
  • Building national entrepreneurial support ecosystems
  • Scalable mentoring and MSME support models

Through practical case studies, expert insights, and interactive discussions, Alliance CBX aims to translate global experience into actionable strategies.
