As existing and trusted institutions
with large branch networks reaching rural areas, Arab postal
networks have the potential to be powerful tools in the
fight for greater financial inclusion in the Arab world.
Beyond a few success stories, however, the Arab world has so
far not capitalized on the potential of its postal networks.
This is a glaring omission in light of demographic trends
that highlight the need for financial access: growing
population, high fertility rates, large youth and rural
populations, and recent political changes as a result of the
Arab spring. |
