This book explores the relationships between financial inclusion,
poverty and inclusive development from Islamic perspectives. Financial
inclusion has become an important global agenda and priority for
policymakers and regulators in many Muslim countries for sustainable
long-term economic growth. It has also become an integral part of many
development institutions and multilateral development banks in efforts
to promote inclusive growth. Many studies in economic development and
poverty reduction suggest that financial inclusion matters. Financial
inclusion, within the broader context of inclusive development, is
viewed as an important means to tackle poverty and inequality and to
address the sustainable development goals (SDGs). This book contributes
to the literature on these topics and will be of interest to researchers
and academics interested in Islamic finance and financial inclusion.
