Of the 21 countries ranked in the 2015 Financial and Digital Inclusion Project (FDIP) Report and Scorecard,
no countries in Asia placed in the top 5 in the overall
ranking. However, all of the FDIP Asian countries have demonstrated
progress within at least one of the four dimensions of the 2015
Scorecard: country commitment, mobile capacity, regulatory environment,
and adoption of traditional and digital financial services.
This blog post will dive into a few of the obstacles and
opportunities facing FDIP countries in central Asia, the Middle East,
and southeast Asia as they move toward greater access to and usage of
financial services among marginalized groups. We explore these countries
in order of their overall score: Turkey (74 percent), Indonesia (70
percent), the Philippines (68 percent), Bangladesh (67 percent),
Pakistan (65 percent), and Afghanistan (58 percent). You can also read
our separate post on financial inclusion in India, available here.
