【 摘 要 】

Policy makers and regulators havedevoted much effort to reforms aimed at improving financialstability in response to lessons from the 2007-09 crisis. Atthe same time, much effort has also been directed topromoting greater financial inclusion as an enabler of equalopportunity. To some extent, these endeavors have beenexerted in silos, neglecting the possibility that financialinclusion and financial stability could be significantlyintertwined, positively or negatively. If there aresynergies or trade-offs between inclusion and stability,policy decisions must be informed, and the policy setting,design, and implementation adjusted accordingly. This paper(i) discusses the relationship between financial inclusionand stability, (ii) illustrates empirically interactionsbetween the two financial sector outcomes, and (iii)outlines policy challenges stemming from these interactions.
