		<description><![CDATA[Sonja, I have read all the beautiful thoughts by the presenters. Though Ignacio&#039;s and Kim Wilson&#039;s came out very powerfully, I think this post is the show stopper. It is brilliantly balanced with points well articulated. Though your post makes us feel we lost the the fun by being absent, you nevertheless build a vivid picture that makes us feel informed. This statement is compellingly awesome ---&quot; there is a role for informal financial services-it is just one that becomes less and less central if formal services are available&quot; . This debate was to be a tough one given the calibre of the financial inclusion experts involved and their known positions in the debate. It turned out to be a successful discussion and not a lose/win debate. Are video clips on the same available, please?]]></description>
