Building a secure and inclusive global financial ecosystem

August 2017

FDIP 2017 cover image
  • 38 min read

The 2017 Brookings Financial and Digital Inclusion Project (FDIP) report evaluates access to and usage of affordable financial services by underserved people across 26 geographically, politically, and economically diverse countries.

The 2017 report assesses these countries’ financial inclusion ecosystems based on four dimensions of financial inclusion: country commitment, mobile capacity, regulatory environment, and adoption of selected traditional and digital financial services.

The 2017 report builds upon the first annual FDIP report, published in August 2015, and the second annual FDIP report, published in August 2016.

The 2017 report examines key developments in the global financial inclusion landscape, highlights selected financial inclusion initiatives within the 26 FDIP countries over the previous year, and provides targeted recommendations aimed at advancing financial inclusion.

Use the interactive scorecard visualization below to explore and compare overall, dimension, and indicator scores for the FDIP countries. Click on a country’s name or dimension score to view a detailed, country-specific scoring guide.

To learn more about the FDIP scores and methodology, download the 2017 report.
