Description
Extending Financial Inclusion in Africa unveils the genesis and transformation of Africa’s financial sector and its ability to provide finance to all. Contributors consider its evolution and role in the economy, the state of financial inclusion, the financial regulation and governance, macroeconomic drivers, and the link between financial inclusion and sustainable development goals (SDGs) as well as financial technological developments. They also address some of the unintended consequences of financial inclusion, including over-indebtedness and increased propensities to spend in cash-poor environments.
