About the project
Partner: Asian Development BankThe Benchmark Survey on Financial Inclusion in Bangladesh, led by Bangladesh Bank, aims to establish a comprehensive baseline for measuring financial inclusion across the country. This initiative is part of the broader National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS) implementation plan, designed to improve access, usage, and quality of financial services for individuals and businesses. By collecting data from diverse households and regions, the survey will inform policy interventions to enhance access to banking, mobile financial services, microfinance institutions, and insurance. It also aims to measure financial and digital literacy levels, ensuring strategies are tailored to overcome existing barriers and promote equitable financial participation for all.
