President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said G20 member nations must use an upcoming summit to focus on giving people of developing countries access to financial services.

Speaking yesterday at the keynote address at the opening of the Global Policy Forum of the Alliance of Financial Inclusion (AFI), Yudhoyono said financial inclusion should be part of the development issues agenda that G20 countries have agreed to address at their November summit in South Korea.

AFI helps developing countries to create financial inclusion policies with the target of giving 50 million people now living under the poverty line basic financial services by 2012.
