Financial Inclusion in Latin America: Facts and Obstacles - Working Paper 439

Liliana Rojas-Suarez

No 439, Working Papers from Center for Global Development

Abstract: This paper shows that, in spite of recent progress in the usage of alternative financial services by adult populations, Latin America’s financial inclusion gaps relative to either high-income countries or the region’s comparators (countries with a similar degree of development) have not reduced generally and, in some cases, have even increased during the period 2011-2014.
