Financial Inclusion Report

The Central Bank of Samoa presents a semi-annual bulletin on financial inclusion data. Financial inclusion data is of great importance as it provides evidence for policy designs, from setting targets, identifying barriers, tracking national progress, and assessing the effectiveness of policy decisions. It is based on information collected from financial services providers (supply-side surveys) and the national demand-side survey on financial access and usage, a project of the CBS and the Samoa Bureau of Statistics.
