Overview
What you will study
Over the past years, many low-income countries have undergone extensive financial reforms. Despite these reforms, many households and enterprises, especially in Africa, are still unable to participate in the financial sector. While it is well known that financial institutions and markets can help induce economic growth, it is much less clear how financial development can become inclusive and kick start a process of sustainable economic growth with a positive effect on the poor.
This Financial Inclusion and Sustainable Growth summer school offered by University of Groningen will contain interactive lectures by the organisers from the University of Groningen (Netherlands), Université Laval (Canada), and Stellenbosch University (South Africa), as well as some guest speakers. Ample attention will be given to group discussions.
The course is organised around the following three main topics:
- impact of financial inclusion interventions: methods and applications;
- financial inclusion: financial innovation and cross border banking;
- financial products for financial inclusion.
