To bring about inclusive growth, this translates into urgent action on the financial inclusion front, Team Inclusion reports

Financial Deepening in India

The role of an integrated financial infrastructure in stimulating and sustaining economic growth is well recognised now. It is also widely accepted that financial intermediation is essential for both extensive and intensive growth.

Financial Deepening : Need of the Hour

Financial deepening implies the ability of financial institutions to effectively mobilise savings of the masses for their benefit. One of the key features of financial deepening is that it accelerates economic growth through the expansion of access to those who do not possess adequate finance themselves.

Capital markets

Although the economy has made rapid strides in recent years along with higher savings and investment rates, inclusive growth continues to be a challenge. India not only lags behind the developed world but it also has a comparatively lesser degree of financial inclusion as compared to countries like China. Financial inclusion implies ease of access, convenience and low-cost availability of financial products and services to all sections of the population.

Role of Technology, Psychology, and Human Capital in Financial Deepening

Macro-economists measure a nation’s financial deepening by comparing the size of its financial system to the size of its economy. Common measures of financial deepening include ratios of a nation’s financial asset base to its gross domestic product. Unfortunately, such ratios or indices do not provide any actionable guidance at the micro-economic level to individual financial institutions on how to go about the act of financial deepening.

A Case to Make the Infrastructure Play Key to inclusive

Two important elements are inter-related and actually throw some light on financial deepening both as an opportunity and as a challenge for us in India. For it to be an opportunity, we need to view Financial Inclusion not merely as a service to the unbanked, but as a platform for catalysing development and inclusive growth.

Insurance
Highlighting the Shadowed

Though banking institutions headed by the RBI have done and are still doing much to provide access to banking throughout the country, insurance is a sector where a lot of work is still pending. Specifically, a lot needs to be done for the penetration of funds into the untapped sections of the Indian democracy.

Include the Excluded and get on with Health Insurance

An old saying reminds us that poverty and sickness marry into the same family. The poor cannot afford to be sick and when sick, most often, they cannot afford to get well.
