Examining the role of financial indicators in measuring and monitoring financial access

This paper examines the challenge of accurately measuring financial inclusion. The author's find that data collected on financial access and inclusion remains fragmented and incomplete. This makes it difficult to understand the size of the gap in the provision of financial services and the best policies for governments to reduce it.

Using the experience of the Superintendent of Banks and Insurance in Peru, the paper offers insights on:

Establishing financial inclusion indicators that can be measures of both progress and gaps in financial access;
Developing second-level measurements to track specific topics, such as intra-country distribution of financial services and the correlation of financial access and social and economic development indicators.

The paper concludes that financial indicators can contribute to improved analysis of a country’s state of financial access, and subsequently more informed financial inclusion policymaking.
