FINANCIAL INCLUSION

---

The Little Data Book on Financial Inclusion 2015 is a pocket edition of the Global Financial Inclusion (Global Findex) database published in 2015. This data set represents a second round of data collection, following the initial round three years earlier. 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 143 economies. In addition, new indicators measure people’s ability to manage risk. This book presents data for selected indicators by country, region, and income group. For some indicators the data are disaggregated by age, gender, income level, 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 Financial Inclusion topic page on the World Bank’s Open Data Platform (http://datatopics.worldbank.org/financialinclusion) or
the Global Findex web page (http://www.worldbank.org/globalfindex). The microdata files for each country are available in the World Bank’s Microdata
Catalog (http://microdata.worldbank.org). Launched in 2011, the Global Findex database is housed in the World Bank’s Development Research Group and funded by a 10-year grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. It is the first public global database of demandside 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. The
expanded 2014 Global Findex survey questionnaire included more nuanced questions on the use of mobile technology to pay bills, receive wages and government payments, and send money to and receive it from family living elsewhere. The data were collected by Gallup, Inc. over the 2014 calendar year alongside the Gallup World Poll survey. This book and the accompanying research have the potential to aid policy makers, the private sector, and the entire global community as together we shape an effective environment for shared prosperity.
