Inclusive finance has a vital role to play in building more resilient and sustainable economies. This was a key focus at the Lujiazui Forum 2026 in Shanghai, where Prudential joined global leaders to share how inclusive finance must go beyond access to deliver real, lasting outcomes.   Drawing on our experience across Asia and Africa, Steven Chan, Group Chief Government Relations & Policy Officer, highlighted the need to address protection gaps by combining insurance, digital innovation and public-private partnerships, with supporting regulatory frameworks. Making solutions simple, relevant and affordable – while ensuring they remain sustainable over time – is critical to serving underserved communities.   Contributing to this important discussion reflects our commitment to driving inclusive growth – and to supporting even more customers and communities as China’s financial ecosystem continues to evolve.   #NextPrudential #EveryLifeEveryFuture
