An Index of Regulatory Practices for Financial Inclusion in Latin America

Lucia Pacheco and Liliana Rojas-Suarez

No 17/15, Working Papers from BBVA Bank, Economic Research Department

Abstract: The index assesses and compares the quality of regulations that influence financial inclusion in 8 Latin American countries. It defines three categories of regulatory practices: the enablers, which determine the overall quality of the financial environment; the promoters, which deal with specific market frictions; and the preventers which create distortions and barriers.
