Study to gauge financial inclusion on cards

According to Minister Kenneth Matambo, improving financial inclusion is key to achieving inclusive growth through provision of basic financial services to the people.  “The financial sector has intensified its efforts to promote financial inclusion, broadly defined as the delivery of financial services at affordable costs to disadvantaged and low-income segments of the society.

“During the year 2015/2016, a ‘Making Access to Financial Services Possible’ diagnostic analysis will be carried out in Botswana, with the view to develop a comprehensive financial inclusion road map, which should lead to a more accessible, inclusive and robust financial system,” said Matambo last week when presenting the 2015/16 Budget Speech.
