Financial Inclusion, Regulation, Financial Literacy, and Financial Education in Tajikistan

By:	Mogilevskii, Roman (Asian Development Bank Institute); Asadov, Shokhboz (Asian Development Bank Institute)
Abstract:	We analyze financial inclusion, literacy, and education in Tajikistan. We discuss the progress in financial inclusion and the sector’s response to the major external shock associated with the sharp fall in Tajik labor migrants’ remittances. We analyze the policies dealing with different aspects of financial inclusion with a focus on the regulatory framework, penetration of new financial technologies, and the existing barriers to inclusion; and we give recommendations on how to improve financial inclusion and financial literacy in the country.
Keywords:	financial inclusion; financial literacy and education; Tajikistan
