of men and women in developing countries that are excluded from financial services were to have access to banking, insurance
and other financial services suitable to low income earners.
A burst of savings, credit, production, consumption
and general intermediation would be unleashed at the bottom rung of societies. This is the imperative or raison d’etre
of financial inclusion: financial services ought not to be exclusive preserve of a few, for the wealth of nations is limited,
or at least is non-inclusive, when so many people, do not have access to either a bank account or basic insurance products."

available idea/perspective and group." Charles Archer
