Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA)

The Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) is an international organisation providing support to the ASEAN and the East Asia Summits through policy research. It conducts research under three pillars: (i) deepening economic integration, (ii) narrowing development gaps, and (iii) sustainable economic development. ERIA was established by a formal agreement among 16 heads of government at the Third East Asia Summit in Singapore on 21 November 2007. It works closely with the ASEAN Secretariat, researchers, and research institutes from East Asia to provide intellectual and analytical research and policy recommendations. ERIA is based in Jakarta, Indonesia.

• September 24, 2020 The Composition of Financial Inclusion in ASEAN and East Asia: A New Hybrid Index and Some Stylised FactsThe paper provides an overview of the existing measures of financial inclusion and critically evaluates the two widely used existing methodologies to measure the dimensions – the principal component analysis (PCA) method and the Distance method, respectively. We subsequently propose a new hybrid financial inclusion index, which draws on the strengths of existing measures. We propose four key stylised facts by critically evaluating three dimensions of financial inclusion – access, usage, and quality in 22 Asian countries in the period 2004-2015. Utilising PCA scores, we identify the top two indicators under each dimension and by country, which are directly relevant for policy perspectives. An important finding is that the top five and the bottom five countries are the same under all three methodologies. There is a pattern across countries in adopting usage, access, and quality dimensions of financial inclusion over time. We also find that the top two indicators appear to play a significant role across all developing countries in the sample.
