This paper explores what 2017 Findex data has to say about mobile money, women's financial inclusion and savings in vulnerable households. This information sheds light on what the World Bank’s latest Global Findex report reveals about the state of financial inclusion and the challenges ahead as we strive for a more fully inclusive world.
