Access to Finance - A study for the WSBI Stephen Peachey and Alan Roe, Oxford Policy Management October 2004 The study gives an overview of the importance of access to finance and records the main obstacles to access in different parts of the world. It also attempts to create a coherent framework for analysing the available data on access and to link this through to indicators of wider economic development. Having surveyed the nature and dimensions of access (or lack of it), the paper goes on to review public and banking sector initiatives to improve access to finance and develop a policy agenda for both the financial institutions that must deliver access and the public sector that must create the right environment for doing so. Finally the critical role of proximity banks in the provision of financial services to all strata of the population in urban and more remote areas has been located within the broader framework of analysis.
