Financial Inclusion - Can It Meet Multiple Macroeconomic Goals?

IMF note examines macroeconomic implications of financial inclusion

International Monetary Fund discussion note finds significant benefit to economic growth from financial inclusion. However, benefits diminish as financial inclusion and depth become large. Broadening access to credit can compromise economic and bank stability in countries with weak bank supervision. Other forms of financial inclusion - such as access to and use of bank accounts, branches, and ATMS - do not hurt stability, and can be promoted extensively.
