Challenges of Microfinance and Financial Inclusion for Development Using WASPAS Method

Abstract

Financial inclusion refers to the process of ensuring that individuals and businesses have access to useful and affordable financial products and services that meet their needs – transactions, payments, savings, credit, and insurance – delivered in a responsible and sustainable way. The concept aims to eliminate the barriers that exclude people from participating in the financial sector, enhancing their ability to improve their economic conditions. Microfinance is a critical tool within the broader financial inclusion agenda. It involves offering financial services to low-income individuals or those who do not have access to typical banking services. These services include microloans, savings accounts, insurance, and money transfers. Microfinance institutions (MFIs) cater to people who are traditionally excluded from the formal banking sector, helping them to start or expand small businesses, manage risks, and improve their quality of life.One of the primary significances of researching financial inclusion and microfinance is their critical role in promoting economic development. By providing access to financial services, individuals and small businesses can engage in economic activities that contribute to the overall growth of their communities and economies. Microfinance allows entrepreneurs to start or expand small businesses, which can lead to job creation and increased productivity. Understanding the mechanisms and impacts of these financial services helps policymakers and stakeholders design better programs to stimulate economic development, particularly in underserved regions.
