2 Presentation Outline Financial Inclusion: Definition Why is it important? Philippine Country Context How do we achieve it: Perspectives from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Policy and Regulation Financial Education and Consumer Protection Data Management Promotion and Advocacy Results so Far Moving Forward
3 Financial Inclusion A state wherein there is effective access to a wide range of financial services by all. Effective Access Wide range of financial services
4 Why is Financial Inclusion Important? MICRO PERSPECTIVE MACRO PERSPECTIVE Access to savings, payments and credit make a positive difference in people s lives (Dupas & Robinson, 2009) Enables households and businesses to seize economic opportunities and manage risks/ shocks A financial system able to mobilize broad based savings and invest in growth of productive sector drives economic growth (Levine, Loayza and Beck, 2000) Deep and diversified financial system contributes to financial stability (Hannig & Jansen, 2010)
5 Philippine Country Context For every 10,000 adults, 1 bank 37% of the 1,634 cities and municipalities do not have a banking office 2 ATMs 15% of total population lived in unbanked cities and municipalities % of unbanked cities and municipalities NCR CALABARZON 6% 0% Central Luzon 8% With at least one banking office Unbanked CAR Eastern Visayas ARMM 65% 71% 93% archipelagic barriers pose a big challenge to financial access *All figures are as of end-dec 2012
6 Philippine Country Context The 2009 Consumer Finance Survey (CFS) suggests that only 2 out of 10 Filipino households have a deposit account in a formal financial institution. Data from the World Bank 2011 Findex indicate that only 10.5% of Filipino adults had a loan from a formal financial institution in the past year. These gaps present both a challenge and opportunity to ensure that access translates into effective usage of available products and services. 2 out of 10 Filipino households have a deposit account of adults had a loan in a formal financial institution in the past year of adults have a deposit account 43% of the total number of deposit accounts 68% of the total amount of deposits are concentrated in NCR of adults are users of money transfer and loan and bill payment service providers share of insurance premiums to GDP
7 Cohesive and Consistent Guiding Principles Financial inclusion is a worthy policy objective and something that should be pursued alongside the promotion of stability and efficiency in the financial system. Financial inclusion and financial stability are mutually reinforcing. Evidence toward this should be collected. Financial stability and financial inclusion are not inevitable. Both demand at least the same measure of energy, imagination and serious attention from policy makers.
8 Cohesive and Consistent Guiding Principles In addressing financial access issues, market based solutions are feasible and should be encouraged. It is necessary to establish a supportive regulatory environment for the said market based solutions to work. These solutions, of course, present real and valid risks but these are concerns that can be managed. All financial service providers should be properly and proportionately regulated to uphold consumer protection and financial system integrity.
