Background – Task Force

The UN Secretary-General has convened a Task Force on Digital Finance to identify the ways in which the digitization of finance can help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The role of the Task Force is to advance proposals on how to harness the power of current and nascent digital technologies that underpin the digitization of finance in order to achieve the SDGs. In addition to mobile connectivity, these technologies include, but are not limited to, big data, artificial intelligence, distributed ledger technology (‘blockchain’) and the Internet of things, all of which offer opportunities to foster more sustainable finance, investment and development.
