Finscope Survey

The Rwanda FinScope survey is conducted every four years since 2008 fostering public-private partnership in the financial sector. The first FinScope demand surveys were driven by need to generate credible information to guide policy interventions and financial service providers in their efforts to expand the reach and depth of the Rwandan financial system, while in 2024, the focus shifted from Financial Inclusion to inclusive finance. “Finance becomes inclusive from the moment when it enables a given beneficiary, such as a household, a young entrepreneur, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to access a suite of services and products, sometimes personalized, which respond to a specific need.
