CGAP working paper identifies priority issues for financial inclusion
Consultative Group to Assist the Poor working paper provides insights on role that effective competition and competition policy play in developing mobile financial services (MFS), and in turn promoting financial inclusion using Kenya and Tanzania as case countries. Aim is to have two distinct, but complementary products: i) to identify and, where appropriate, contrast competition issues of MFS in Kenya and Tanzania in order to offer insights on how effective competition might be improved to make markets work well and, in turn, increase financial inclusion and consumer welfare; and ii) draw on experiences of Kenya and Tanzania to highlight to policy makers and regulators in more nascent MFS markets, aspects of competition policy they may wish to monitor or investigate as their own MFS markets develop.
