Financial inclusion and stability in MENA: Evidence from poverty and inequality
Simon Neaime,Isabelle Gaysset +1 more
TLDR
In this paper, the impact of financial inclusion on income inequality, poverty, and financial stability in eight MENA countries over the period 2002-2015 is investigated. And the empirical evidence indicates that while financial integration is a contributing factor to financial instability in MENA, financial inclusion contributes positively to financial stability.About:
