Reviews
This book provides an excellent overview of the challenges of financial sector development in developing countries. The different chapters touch on all the relevant dimensions, including international capital flows, microfinance and financial inclusion. An important contribution to our field! - Thorsten Beck, Professor of Banking and Finance, The Business School (formerly Cass), University of London, UK. An abundance of literature exists in development finance, but this book will be an important 'one stop shop' for researchers, teachers, and policy makers. It is thematic and coherent. The underpinning is on contemporary theories and empirics linking finance and development with emphasis on inclusive development. This is because financial sector development alone does not ensure inclusive finance that is vital for inclusive development. The financial instruments considered are also wide ranging; so are the players who can help bridge the financial development gap. - Lemma Senbet, The William E. Mayer Chair Professor of Finance, University of Maryland, USA; Immediate Past ED/CEO, African Economic Research Consortium.
