Aim/purpose – Financial inclusion is a catalyst for achieving sustainable development. This study attempts to evaluate impact of financial inclusion on sustainable development. Design/methodology/approach – Both Error Correction Model (ECM) and Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) were used to ascertain the short-run and long-run relationship respectively among the variables which covers the period from 2001 to 2016, as data for HDI (Human Development Index) were available for Nigeria from 2001 through 2016 only. Findings – The result of the analysis indicated that in the short-run there is short-run causality running from a number of commercial bank branches, demand deposit from the rural areas, loan to rural areas to HDI. The long-run result revealed that the explanatory variables consisting of loan to rural areas, number of commercial bank branches and demand deposit from the rural areas all have positive significant impact on HDI in Nigeria. The overall result revealed that financial inclusion has impact on sustainable development in Nigeria. Research implications/limitations – The study recommends that banks and monetary authorities should develop new product and services that will attract savings from the rural dwellers because of the level of significance of their deposit to the development of the country. All the more so as commercial banks should also ensure that the rural dwellers are provided with more bank branches, most especially, in areas where there are few or no banks. Credit facilities should also be provided to the people at an affordable rate as this will uplift the level of inclusion and reduce the level of exclusion in the country which will improve the sustainable development in the country. Originality/value/contribution – Empirically, the study attempted to investigate the impact of financial inclusion on sustainable development in Nigeria. The results of the study suggest that government should continue its effort in the area of poverty alleviation by embracing financial inclusion via a vis financial institutions introducing new financial product and services at lower cost that will cater for the disadvantaged group in the society.

This paper leverages the IMF’s Financial Access Survey (FAS) database to construct a new composite index of financial inclusion. The topic of financial inclusion has gathered significant attention in recent years. Various initiatives have been undertaken by central banks both in advanced and developing countries to promote financial inclusion. The issue has also attracted increasing interest from the international community with the G-20, IMF, and World Bank Group assuming an active role in developing and collecting financial inclusion data and promoting best practices to improve financial inclusion. There is general recognition among policy makers that financial inclusion plays a significant role in sustaining employment, economic growth, and financial stability. Nonetheless, the issue of its robust measurement is still outstanding. The new composite index uses factor analysis to derive a weighting methodology whose absence has been the most persistent of the criticisms of previous indices. Countries are then ranked based on the new composite index, providing an additional analytical tool which could be used for surveillance and policy purposes on a regular basis.

The appropriate level of financial knowledge and the degree of financial integration needed in today’s financialized world. This paper studies the level of financial literacy and the degree of financial inclusion among the students who study economic fields. These students are a special target group – very important for future development of financial markets. They are not only the future participants, but also the potential animators and creators of the financial market as well as the future financial advisors. The research sample comes from Visegrad Group countries (4V Countries), as the representatives from Central and Eastern Europe countries, where the level of financial literacy and degree of financial inclusion seems to be lower in comparison to the West European Countries. The research also contributes to knowledge in the area of expanding the methods of assessments of efficiency of financial education. The Authors decided to verify the new assessment of effectiveness of financial education. It will be conducted by a separate and simultaneous assessment of financial literacy and financial inclusion. The main results of research confirm the very low level of financial literacy and financial inclusion of young future economists in 4V Countries in both groups: starting and finishing the professional financial education. In addition, examining the degree of financial inclusion among the students who at the same time are educated at the basic level confirms the much lower level of informed financial inclusion.

Swobodny dostęp do podstawowych produktów i usług finansowych (włączenie finansowe) jest warunkiem sprawnego funkcjonowania zarówno gospodarstw domowych, jak i przedsiębiorstw. Przedsiębiorstwa najczęściej borykają się z problemem dostępu do kapitału. Dotyczy to przede wszystkim małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw (MŚP). Celem niniejszego artykułu było zbadanie poziomu włączenia finansowego przedsiębiorstw, zwłaszcza w obszarze kredytów/pożyczek, oraz prezentacja wybranych innowacyjnych instrumentów finansowych wspomagających dostęp do finansowania przedsiębiorstw z sektora MŚP. Stwierdzono, że poziom korzystania z kredytów i pożyczek oferowanych przez instytucje sektora nadzorowanego nie jest zbyt wysoki, a odsetek przedsiębiorstw posiadających pożyczkę lub kredyt bankowy jest bardzo zróżnicowany w poszczególnych regionach świata. Główną przeszkodą w dostępie do kapitału są wymagane zabezpieczenia. Dostęp do finansowania stanowi wciąż jeden z najpoważniejszych problemów wielu przedsiębiorstw na całym świecie. Jednym z innowacyjnych rozwiązań ułatwiających dostęp do kapitału przedsiębiorstwom (MŚP) stały się innowacyjne instrumenty finansowe w ramach wydatków z budżetu UE oraz finansowanie hybrydowe.

In today’s world the affordable access to basic financial products and services (financial inclusion) is necessary for functioning both households and enterprises. Enterprises most often face the problem of free access to funding their activity. This mainly applies to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The purpose of this article was to examine the level of financial inclusion of enterprises, especially in the field of loans/credits and the presentation of selected innovative financial instruments supporting access to financing of enterprises from the SME sector. It was found that the level of usage of credits and loans offered by regulated financial institutions is not very high, and the percentage of enterprises with a bank loan varies widely between regions of the world. The main obstacle to accessing capital is the required collateral. Access to finance is still one of the most serious problems of many companies around the world. Innovative financial instruments as part of expenditure from the EU budget are one of the innovative solutions facilitating access to capital for enterprises (SMEs).
