The following data is compiled primarily to give a snapshot of digital financial inclusion, digital economy foundations, and DFS foundations at the country level. The data is derived from publicly available sources which provide a basis for comparability across countries. Sources, indicator descriptions and availability of data points are noted for each indicator. Data updates are expected annually to reflect changes in indicators from source datasets. In many cases, there may be alternate sources available (e.g. country level surveys) which may be utilized to aid specific policy and regulatory reforms.
