| description | Financial inclusion (FI) plays a vital role in improving socio-economic conditions of households. Despite of the penetration of the FI worldwide, inequality and inequity still persists, particularly in lower income countries like South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC). In order to enhance the participation of women, there is a critical need to examine the trend in awareness of FI gender-wise and to understand the initiatives taken by regulators in SAARC countries. Secondary data is used to measure the significant difference in the level of FI among elected SAARC nations using descriptive analytics. The results reveals gender inequality in digital payment and increasing trend in borrowing from non-financial institution. The policy implications are further suggested in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). |
