Small businesses are critical drivers of inclusive economies. However, they face a universal challenge in accessing financial services that can power their resilience and growth. In this BBC feature, the Center's Shamina Singh shares how our global Mastercard Strive programs are addressing gaps in the small business support ecosystem, how data tools like the Inclusive Growth Score can help communities uncover opportunities for local investments in small business, and how Mastercard's #FarmPass is enabling more smallholder farmers to earn fairer prices and access new buyers through a digital marketplace. https://lnkd.in/enyVAPpV #smallbusiness #financialinclusion #inclusivegrowth
