Measuring Financial Inclusion
Measuring Financial Inclusion
Financial inclusion is critical in promoting inclusive economic growth and reducing poverty. It refers to all individuals and businesses availability and usage of financial services, regardless of their social or economic status. Measuring financial inclusion involves assessing access to financial services, such as savings accounts, credit, and insurance, and understanding how they are used.
Measuring financial inclusion can help identify gaps in access and usage and inform policies and programs to improve financial services for all. It can also help monitor progress toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and other development objectives. However, measuring financial inclusion can be challenging due to the need for consistent and reliable data, especially in low- and middle-income countries.
At Sopact, measuring financial inclusion is crucial to achieving inclusive growth and reducing poverty. That's why we've developed impact measurement and management that provides an actionable approach to measuring and promoting financial inclusion.
