Account ownership at a financial institution or with a mobile-money-service provider, female (% of population ages 15+)

This indicator measures the proportion of women aged 15 and older who possess an account at a bank or any financial institution, or who have utilized a mobile money service in the past year. It reflects not only women's access to financial services but also highlights their active participation in the financial ecosystem. A higher percentage indicates greater financial inclusion among women, empowering them with the tools necessary for economic independence and decision-making. Understanding this metric is crucial for policymakers and stakeholders aiming to bridge gender gaps in financial accessibility, ultimately fostering broader economic development and contributing to improved social equity.
