Financial inclusion policies have aimed at channeling microcredit to poor, spreading formal banking system usage, fostering electronic payment acceptance, and making financial services more affordable.

The study finds that lowering contraints on collateral promises higher growth while inequality is better tackled through measures that lower the financial participation cost.
