Digital Identities
summary
Claims that 1.7 billion unbanked people and ~1 billion without IDs lack access to finance and basic services, and that digital identity can fix this. Cites Singapore’s Singpass as a working model, China’s city-by-city pilots for digital currency integration, and an EU target of 80% by 2030. Recommends incremental national pilots, a two-speed approach (baseline IDs for inclusion plus self-sovereign identity for digital control), and flags the main blockers: interoperability, reliance on big tech, and European data‑protection risks.
