Synopsis
Financial and digital financial inclusion refers to ensuring that all segments of society have access to financing or financial products and services, and thus to the design of the financial system to achieve this goal. Measuring the extent to which financial and digital financial inclusion has been achieved, in other words, how inclusive the financial system is, has become important for setting goals, conducting situational analyses, and making future plans. The question of which other economic factors might be affected by increasing or decreasing financial inclusion is among the topics that researchers are curious about and studying. This study attempts to explain financial and digital financial inclusion, its measurement, and related issues at a conceptual level.
