Analysis of the determinants of financial inclusion in Central and West Africa
Central and West Africa are two of the least financial inclusive regions of the Africa continent
Abstract
Using data from the Global Financial Inclusion database (Global Findex) of the World Bank, this study attempts to identify and analyse the determinants of financial inclusion in Central and West Africa, two of the least financial inclusive regions of the Africa continent. 皇冠体育app findings indicate that access to formal finance in the two regions is mainly driven by individual characteristics such as gender, education, age, income, residence area, employment status, marital status, household size and degree of trust in financial institutions.
