World Bank Opens 2017 Global Financial Inclusion Microdata
With the release of the World Bank's 2017 Global Findex microdata last week, policymakers and researchers -- for free -- can now dig deeper into how billions of the world's adults use bank accounts, mobile money, digital payments, savings and credit.
In April, the World Bank published its country-level data and released its report on financial inclusion indicators that are based on data from nationally representative surveys that Gallup, with the support of the World Bank team, collected in more than 140 economies in 2017. The release of the microdata opens up the individual survey responses from roughly 150,000 adults in these economies.
