This book offers a comprehensive exploration of strategic approaches to banking within the context of sustainable development goals (SDGs). In a world grappling with urgent social, environmental, and economic challenges, banks have a unique role in contributing to sustainable development. This book bridges the gap between theory and practice, offering a strategic framework that enables banks to integrate the SDGs into their decision-making processes. Divided into five parts, it covers essential topics such as green finance, financial inclusion, ethical banking, remittances, and macroeconomic stability, providing a comprehensive understanding of the role of banks in sustainable development. Through case studies, empirical research, and theoretical insights, the book offers practical guidance for aligning banking business strategies with SDGs. Whether you are a banking professional seeking to align your institution's practices with sustainable development, a policymaker crafting regulations for responsible banking, a researcher exploring the potential of sustainable finance, or a student aspiring to understand the role of banks in driving positive change, this book provides essential insights and guidance for leveraging the power of banking to create a more sustainable future. It will also appeal to multinational organizations like the IMF and World Bank, as well as monetary authorities, including central banks. It combines rigorous analysis with practical recommendations, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in the intersection of banking and sustainable development.
