Financial Inclusion in Asia and Beyond cover

The World Bank considers financial inclusion to be an enabler for at least 7 of the 17 United Nation’s sustainable development goals (SDGs). Financial inclusion, with its associated policy implications, is an important issue for ASEAN. This book examines the economic effects of financial inclusion. It explores issues surrounding measurement and impact of financial inclusion.

The book looks at various, salient topics including measurement of financial inclusion, the impact of (various indicators of) financial inclusion on development outcomes and macroeconomic volatility using aggregate data, as well as the effects of financial inclusion on poverty and development outcomes using micro data.

"The editors of Financial Inclusion in Asia and Beyond do an excellent job of compiling papers from the Research Institutions Network of the Economic Research Institute for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) (ERIA) into a single, well-organised, systematically presented compendium on the economic effects of financial inclusion."
