| Summary: | The group of 20 (G-20) recognizes data
and measurement as an essential foundation for advancing
financial inclusion at a global level. The data and
measurement sub-group, in its first year, was tasked to
identify the existing financial inclusion data landscape, to
assess the data gaps, to develop key performance indicators,
and to lay out the foundations for the framing of financial
inclusion target setting approaches. The purpose of this
report, prepared for the global partnership for financial
inclusion (GPFI), is to highlight the key findings and
recommendations of the data and measurement sub-group during
its first year, provide input for a roadmap for the
GPFI's work plan for the coming year, and to present
key policy recommendations for consideration by the G-20
policy makers for the Cannes summit in November 2011. The
policy recommendations presented are relevant at the global
level, including both G-20 and non-G-20 countries. The GPFI
holds the potential for impact on two levels: (i)
incorporating guidance on measurement frameworks and
prioritizations of targets through GPFI country-level
pilots; and (ii) aligning on the roadmap and determining a
toolkit for formulating country level targets or goals to
help - operationalize GPFI's universal access vision. |
