Abstract | Financial inclusion concerns the expanding of the access to financial services to which, currently, it isn’t possible to accede. It is an important objective in developing countries and a priority policy in industrialized countries. The aim of this paper is to outline the financial inclusion through different countries. The research is developed analyzing data published by the Global Findex Database in 2011, and applying a Cluster Analysis that carries out typologies of clusters of countries which are homogeneous inside but heterogeneous between them. The results of this research put in evidence a certain proximity among developing countries, which haven’t an inclusive financial system, and industrialized countries that have an inclusive financial system. |
