IMF Releases 2012 Financial Access Survey Data

IMF released the 2012 Financial Access Survey (FAS) data through the online FAS database. FAS is the sole source of global supply-side data comparable across countries and over time, which collects data from national financial regulators. FAS is also one of the three global sources identified for the G20 Basic Set of Financial Inclusion Indicators endorsed by the G20 Leaders at the Los Cabos Summit in June 2012. This year FAS was conducted by the IMF in collaboration with CGAP and IFC’s Access to Finance Advisory Services.
