Reviews

'A great collection of contributions that analyse the different facets of financial inclusion in the developing world and that will push out the frontier of knowledge.' - Thorsten Beck, European University Institute, Florence, Italy 'Ahmad, Llewellyn and Murinde have edited a timely volume on access to finance and financial and economic development. At its core are thirteen contributions, many on African countries, resulting from research funded by the ESRC and the FDCO; with invited studies of other countries included. Progress from mobile money to information technology enabled financial intermediation is mapped and its impact gauged. Policy implications are that entry by, suitably regulated, technologically advanced financial institutions should be facilitated, and responsible banking fostered.' - Andrew Mullineux, University of Birmingham, UK 'For researchers and policy makers, this book is a true gold mine, not for the answers it offers, but for the critical questions it raises about the potential of financial inclusion to propel developing economies to higher levels of growth while ensuring that no citizen is left behind in the modernization process. The chapters offer compelling evidence on the role of financial inclusion as a potent tool for equitable development and leapfrogging in the developing world. The volume is of great interest for instructors and students of finance and economic development.' - Leonce Ndikumana, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, US
