Zambian Central Bank Deputy Governor Dr. Tukiya Kankasa-Mabula notes that the creation of a women's bank is an initiative that will boost financial inclusion. In an interview in Lusaka, Kankasa-Mabula revealed that an initiative to establish a women's bank was being developed and driven by private sector Zambian businesswomen, and was intended to cater to the banking needs of women who face financial exclusion and have little or no access to finance. She said the bank's key objectives would be the provision of financing for women entrepreneurs and small businesses.
