Abstract
Financial Inclusion Measurement : Searching for an Alternative Index
by
Sugata Sen Roy
Financial inclusion refers to a state where individuals have effective access to credit, savings, payments and insurance from formal service providers. However, there are very few comprehensive measures to assess the financial inclusion in a region or country. In this paper, we suggest better indices for measuring financial inclusion. The indices are applied to data on India and other Asian countries. The results allow us a better insight into the inclusiveness of the financial sectors of these countries.
