While the financial crisis is still only confined to the advance economies, there are uncertainties as to its impact on developing economies. Depending on how long it may last, there is a greater risk that the crisis will spill-over to developing economies and that we will see further tightening in the commodity markets that will pose risks to growth in many commodity-exporting developing countries.
Analysis of the survey data provides better understanding of the financial inclusion constraints, potential opportunities and evidence-based strategies to expand inclusion. The success of these endeavours is well captured in the 2013 and 2015 Survey results.
