vThe Little Data Book on Financial Inclusion 2018

ForewordBy Her Majesty Queen Máxima of the Netherlands

UN Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development

and Honorary Patron of the G20’s Global Partnership for Financial Inclusion

For those of us committed to advancing financial inclusion, no tool is of greater value than the Global Financial Inclusion (Global Findex) database . This invaluable data set provides a rigorous, multidimensional picture of where we stand and how far we have come in expanding access for all to the basic financial services people need to protect themselves against hardship and invest in their futures .

The Little Data Book on Financial Inclusion presents key findings from the Global Findex database, with detailed insight into how adults in more than 140 economies access accounts, make payments, save, borrow, and manage risk . As the data show, each economy has its own successes, challenges, and opportunities when it comes to financial inclusion . A growing body of research demonstrates the impact of country advances on significant priorities such as reducing poverty, hunger, and gender inequality . Today, member states at the United Nations are using Global Findex data to track progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals .

Dozens of national governments have adopted policies to expand financial inclusion . These and other global and national efforts are paying off . New Global Findex data reveal that globally the share of adults owning an account is now 69 percent, an increase of seven percentage points since 2014 . These numbers translate into 515 million adults who have gained access to financial tools . The 2017 figures on overall account ownership continue the upward trajectory we’ve seen since the Global Findex database was first released—with financial inclusion rising 18 percentage points since 2011, when account ownership was 51 percent .

The 2017 Global Findex data reflect the continued evolution of financial inclusion . Recent progress has been driven by digital payments, government policies, and a new generation of financial services accessed through mobile phones and the internet .

The power of financial technology to expand access to and use of accounts is demonstrated most persuasively in Sub-Saharan Africa, where 21 percent of adults now have a mobile money account—nearly twice the share in 2014 and easily the highest of any region in the world . While mobile money has been centered in East Africa, the 2017 update reveals that it has spread to West Africa and beyond .

Digital technology is also transforming the payments landscape . Globally, 52 percent of adults have sent or received digital payments in the past year, up from 42 percent in 2014 . Technology giants have moved into the financial sphere, leveraging deep customer knowledge to provide a broad range of financial services . Payments made through their technology platforms are facilitating higher account use in major emerging economies such as China, where 57 percent of account owners are using mobile phones or the internet to make purchases or pay bills—roughly twice the share in 2014 .

vi 2018 The Little Data Book on Financial Inclusion

Some advances have been made in helping women gain access to financial services . In India three years ago, men were 20 percentage points more likely than women to have an account . Today, India’s gender gap has shrunk to 6 percentage points thanks to a strong government push to increase account ownership through biometric identification cards .

Still, in most of the world women continue to lag well behind men . Globally, 65 percent of women have an account compared with 72 percent of men, a gap of seven percentage points that is all but unchanged since 2011 . Nor has equality in account ownership been achieved in other regards . The gap between rich and poor has not improved since 2014: account ownership is 13 percentage points higher among adults living in the wealthiest 60 percent of households within economies than among those in the poorest 40 percent . And urban populations continue to benefit from far broader access to finance than rural communities . In China around 200 million rural adults remain outside the formal financial system .

The continued involvement of businesses will be vital for unlocking opportunities to expand financial inclusion . Companies pay wages in cash to about 230 million unbanked adults worldwide; switching to electronic payrolls could help these workers join the formal financial system . Mobile phones and the internet also offer strong openings for progress: globally, one billion financially excluded adults already own a mobile phone and about 480 million have internet access .

But the private sector, governments, and development organizations all need to sharpen their focus on the use of accounts, which has stagnated for saving and borrowing . Without people actively using their accounts, the impact of our work will be lost .

The Global Findex database is an indispensable resource for those of us working to increase financial inclusion . I am proud to partner with the Global Findex team, and I thank the World Bank’s Development Research Group and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for supporting this crucial initiative . I hope governments, businesses, and development champions will continue to use The Little Data Book and its trove of information as we redouble our efforts to deepen financial inclusion .

Foreword

The Little Data Book on Financial Inclusion 2018 is a pocket edition of the Global Findex database published in 2018 . The data represent a third round of data collection since the Global Findex database was launched in 2011 . The database provides nationally representative, demand-side data on access to and use of accounts, credit, payments, and savings by adults age 15 and above in 144 economies . In addition, new indicators measure how people make or receive digital payments . This book presents data for selected indicators by country, region, and income group . For some indicators the data are disaggregated by gender, income level, employment status and rural residence .

This publication is part of the Global Findex suite of products, available both online and in hard copy . To learn more and to access the most recent version of the database, visit the Global Findex web page (http://www .worldbank .org/globalfindex) .

The Global Findex database is housed in the World Bank’s Development Research Group and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation . It is the first public global database of demand-side indicators to track the financial lives of individuals over time . Covering a range of topics, the data can be used to create a more complete picture of how people save, borrow, manage risk, and send and receive money . And as the Global Findex survey questionnaire has expanded, the data have allowed more nuanced insights into the use of mobile technology to pay bills, receive wages and government payments, and send money to and receive it from family living elsewhere .

This third edition of the database was compiled in 2017 and includes updated indicators on access to and use of formal and informal financial services and additional data on financial technology, or fintech, including the use of mobile phones and the internet to complete financial transactions . The data were collected by Gallup, Inc . over the 2017 calendar year alongside the Gallup World Poll survey .

Global Findex data are used to track progress toward the World Bank goal of Universal Financial Access by 2020 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals . This book and the accompanying research have the potential to aid policy makers, the private sector, and the entire global com-munity as together we shape an effective environment for shared prosperity .

Income group tables

9The Little Data Book on Financial Inclusion 2018

The World Bank’s main criterion for classifying economies for operational and analytical purposes is gross national income (GNI) per capita . Each economy for which data are presented in this book is classified as low income, middle income, or high income based on its GNI per capita in 2016 . Low- and middle-income economies are sometimes referred to as developing economies . The use of the term is convenient; it is not intended to imply that all economies in the group are experiencing similar development or that other economies have reached a preferred or final stage of development . Classification by income does not necessarily reflect development status . Income classifications of economies remain fixed over the course of the World Bank’s fiscal year (ending on June 30) regardless of any revisions during the year to their income per capita data .

Low income economies are those with a GNI per capita of $1,005 or less in 2016 .

Middle income economies are those with a GNI per capita between $1,006 and $12,235 . Lower-middle-income and upper-middle-income economies are separated at a GNI per capita of $3,955 .

High income economies are those with a GNI per capita of $12,236 or more .
