Top Ten Publications of 2021
Over the past year, we added nearly 400 new publications to the FinDev libraries in English, French, Spanish, and Arabic. Many of these publications were sent in by you - members of our community.
In this blog post, we share the publications which received the most downloads in 2021 so you can get an idea of what the FinDev community was reading during the year. But keep in mind that the number of downloads can depend on many factors, including the publication date, whether there was an event or a blog post associated with the publication and whether the authors and publishers promoted it widely.
That’s why we'd like to hear from you. Did your favorite publications make it to our list? If not, which publications did you read in 2021 that influenced how you think about an issue or aspect of financial inclusion? Share your list with us in the comment section below.
