IMPACT OF FINANCIAL INCLUSION ON THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM:

A COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Keywords: financial inclusion, financial system and financial inclusion index.

Abstract

This study examines the scientific literature concerning financial inclusion, financial systems, and inclusion indices to analyze their structural information. Moreover, it delves into the theories and methodologies presented in the literature and outlines potential avenues for future research. A systematic review of the Scopus database identified 16 articles published between 2016 and 2022, underscoring the limited exploration of this pertinent subject. Employing VOSviewer, a bibliometric analysis was conducted, followed by detailed examination and responses to research queries. The findings affirm the nascent yet burgeoning literature on financial inclusion, predominantly characterized by homogeneous theoretical approaches. Quantitative methods emerge as a focal point, reflecting the interest of international entities such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
