CGAP Newsflash: IFC and CGAP Report on Global Financial Inclusion Trends IFC and CGAP released today Financial Access 2012: Getting to a More Comprehensive Picture, which assesses the state of global financial inclusion. The report is based on data from the International Monetary Fund's Financial Access Survey, a survey of financial regulators in 187 jurisdictions that covers deposits, loans, and insurance by households and enterprises. For the first time ever, the 2012 edition of the report includes an overview of access to finance by small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Financial Access 2012 shows a clear - albeit still nascent - recovery from the financial crisis, with both growth rates of deposit and loan penetration picking up strongly in 2011. Access to commercial banking has deepened worldwide, with the number of bank branches and ATMs increasing rapidly since 2004. The world as a whole had 47 ATMs and 17 commercial bank branches per 100,000 adults in 2011. Read the report in its entirety and comment on the related blog post at CGAP.org. You can also explore the full data set, now available online. You have been sent this email because you are on the CGAP emailing list.
