Enabling Growth, Elevating Financial Health
Asia Grassroots Forum 2026:
Enabling Growth, Elevating Financial Health
Purpose
Established in 2024, the Asia Grassroots Forum was created to address a structural gap: while financial inclusion has expanded access, prosperity and financial health remains uneven across rural and underserved grassroots communities in Asia.
The Forum advances dialogue, alignment, and action around the next phase of inclusive growth: embedding long-term financial wellbeing, resilience, and responsible innovation at the core of economic development.
What Distinguishes the Forum
Curated, cross-sector participation
Institutional-level dialogue and working sessions
Regional representation across Asia and global partners
Focus on implementation and capital alignment
Participation is by invitation to ensure balanced representation and substantive exchange.
Track Record
Since its inception in 2024, the Forum has convened senior leaders from institutions including the World Bank, IFC, FMO, Temasek, regional central banks, and leading grassroots finance organizations across Asia and beyond.
The Forum has served as a platform for cross-sector collaboration, partnership formation, and capital–policy dialogue in advancing financial health.
About the Host

Founded in 2010, Amartha has served over 3.7 million rural women-led MSMEs across Indonesia through inclusive, AI-enabled financial services. Present in over 50,000 villages, Amartha aims to advance grassroots financial health and prosperity at scale.
