The Enabling Environment for Financial Inclusion
EIU, 2016
Aperçu
Developing countries have made considerable strides in furthering financial inclusion, but they could do more.
Recommendation
Providing low-income populations in developing markets with access to savings and checking accounts, loans, and other financial services is a major step toward opening up economic opportunities for entrepreneurs and individuals. Since 2006, mobile banking and other technologies have dramatically expanded progress in this area. At the same time, enormous disparities in access remain. getAbstract recommends this enlightening article to bankers, government officials and others interested in how developing economies are extending the availability and use of financial services among their populations.
