Defining Access to
Finance
Financial inclusion can be defined as a state in which all people of working
age have access to a full suite of quality financial services, provided at
affordable prices, in a convenient manner, and with dignity for the clients
(Accion International, 2009).
Financial inclusion encompasses the range, quality, and availability of
financial services to the underserved and the financially excluded (IFC, WBG2011)
Financial inclusion implies that both unbanked and under banked households
and firms are part of the target market.

Rationale: Why BB is
Emphasizing SME Financing
Positive association between importance of SMEs and GDP per
capita Growth.(*)
Small firms exhibit higher net job creation rates than large ones
[OECD-2002]
Advanced Economies succeeded in achieving sustainable
economic growth because SMEs form a fundamental part of
their economies. In advanced economies-

Institutional Building
The United Nations (UN) committee on building
inclusive financial sector, however, recently urged
central bank to add the goal of financial inclusion
to the traditional goals of prudential regulation and
stability of the financial system- UN (2006)*
A paradigm shift in the BBs policy regime in recent
years.
The policy is skewed to the financially excluded and
unbanked mass of the country especially
- small Entrepreneurs and women entrepreneurs.
