Sustainable Finance | Inclusive Growth

Digitization of healthcare is leading to better accessibility. Micro finance solutions are enabling the growth of SMEs and entrepreneurs. Financing solutions around affordable housing are addressing underserved markets. At its core, inclusive growth is about supporting communities, drawing on innovative finance and partnerships to mitigate unequal access and affordability among underserved populations. Leaning on the principles of inclusivity and disruptive thinking, Goldman Sachs is supporting concrete solutions to drive inclusive growth.
