Data on Access to and Use of Financial
Services: Regulator and Bank Surveys
Asli Demirguc-Kunt
DECRG
WB- Brookings Conference on Access to Finance
May 30, 2006
Why are we interested in access?
• An extensive literature exists on the links between
financial development and growth
• Little, however, on the degree and impact of access
to financial services.
• This deficiency is due to lack of data and analysis
– Current financial sector indicators are good in
measuring size but not the reach and breadth
– Most analyses have focused on determinants and
impact of overall financial sector development
Why would access matter for the
outcomes we care about?
• Firms’ access to financial services
– Matters because of the impact on growth, and
especially of small and new firms (entry)
– To date: ICA and other firm level data
• Households’ access to financial services
– Matters because of poverty reduction, risk
mitigation, more voice and inclusion
– To date: some data from existing LSMS and
some specialized households surveys
Data Collection Efforts
•
Regulator surveys – over 115 countries
– Number of branches and ATMs relative to population and area
– Number of loans and deposit accounts relative to population
– Average size of loans and deposits relative to GDP per capita
•
Bank (provider) surveys -530 commercial banks (5 largest) in 106
countries
– Developing indicators of barriers to banking by collecting data
on minimum deposit balances, deposit and loan fees,
requirements to open a bank account and apply for a bank loan,
cost of electronic transfers, etc.
•
Household surveys
– Pulling together existing data
– Going forward – coordinating and designing core set of
indicators to include in HH surveys going forward
All complementary efforts to get a full picture of access
Defining “access” is not easy…
Access vs. Usage
• Usage is much easier to measure
• However, access is likely to be wider – some may
have access, yet may not wish to use services
• Understanding usage requires information on both
demand and supply
• Thus need to collect indicators that measure both:
– Actual use of various services (savings, payment,
credit)
– Barriers to access, to identify boundaries and causes of
exclusion
Access and Use - Regulator Surveys
Over the past year, through surveys of bank regulators –
115 countries were targeted and data on 99 were
collected, cleaned and analyzed
•
Access to financial services – Branch and ATM
penetration, both geographic and demographic
•
Actual use of financial services – Number of loans and
deposits relative to population; Average size of loans and
deposits relative to GDP per capita
•
Results show large differences in usage, with developing
countries far behind and much more skewed patterns of
use

Using regulator data we see…
• In the absence of household and firm level data we
can predict household and firm use of financial
services using these indicators
• better outreach is correlated with greater financial
sector depth, greater banking freedoms, better
governance, better physical infrastructure and with
more private bank ownership.
• firms report facing lower financing constraints in
countries with better outreach even controlling for
depth.

Moving Forward
Data will help us answer key policy-relevant questions:
•
How well the financial system in different countries serve the poor and the
enterprises that employ the poor?
•
Access to which types of financial services has the greatest impact on reducing
poverty and lifting the growth rates in deprived regions?
•
What are the chief obstacles to access?
•
What policy interventions and institutional arrangements can improve access
for underserved groups?
