3 Financial capability, Financial literacy, Financial education Financial education is a way to increase financial literacy. It provides basic skills related to earning, spending, budgeting, borrowing, saving and using other financial services such as insurance, money transfers Financial literacy is the ability to understand finance. It refers to the set of skills and knowledge that allows an individual to make informed and effective financial decisions, and understand the financial services that are available.
4 What is financial capability? Financial capability is defined as the combination of 1. Knowledge (I know what a savings account is) 2. Skills (I know how to open a bank account) 3. Attitudes (I find it useful to have a bank account) 4. Behaviour (I m going to the bank to open a savings account) that a person needs to make sound financial decisions that support well being (center for financial inclusion)
5 Access to credit and financial awareness Microfinance Financial Literacy: A Cross-Country Study
6 Methodology Financial literacy: set of skills and knowledge that allows an individual to make informed and effective decisions with all of their financial resources (Giesler, Markus; Veresiu, Ela). One of the skills is interest rate awareness. Interest rate awareness: clients who know their nominal interest rate within 25% margin of error. Analysis (logit model) by the University of Reading, UK. Limitations: only one measure of financial literacy; no causality, only association. Data: 9,053 clients, 52 FSPs, 28 Countries Social Rating field surveys by MicroFinanza Rating Financial awareness of interest rate = α + β_1 x Sociodemograhic Status + β_2 x Financial Access + ε Research question 1: Where do we stand in financial literacy? Research question 2: What borrower profiles are more financially literate? Research question 3: Are borrowers with previous access to finance more financially literate?
7 % Clients aware of the interest rate of their loan Total 34% LAC ECA SEA Africa 26% 30% 48% 63% Urban-rural Rural Urban 28% 35% 45% Bank NBFI Credit Union NGO 14% 33% 32% 44% Large scale Medium scale Small scale 31% 33% 41% Indiv. Group Village B. Mixed 34% 32% 40% 40% High fin. intermed. Low fin. intermed. No Saving 24% 33% 42% Low client awareness of the nominal interest rate of their loan, indicating low financial literacy.
8 Dependent variable Controls Client awareness of interest rate Country, survey year Association: positive; negative; none Socio-demographic explanatory variables Financial explanatory variables Age*** Education*** Client household head*** Living in rural area*** Female Annual interest rate on current loan*** Multiple borrowing from other NBFI, NGOs, Credit Unions (now)*** Have a saving account (previously)*** Have a loan from moneylender, family or friends (now)*** Have a loan from NBFI, NGO or Credit Unions (previously) Have a loan from bank (previously) ***/** Statistical significance 1%/5% level. NBFI: Non Bank Financial Institution. = literature literature Communication transparency Over-indebtedness Remuneration not the focus Past stress experience Awareness of interest % does not come automatically with access
9 Policy implication Hypothesis 1 Hypothesis 2 Sociodemographic factors such as gender, age and education level are associated to the financial literacy levels of clients in the cross-country microfinance environment. Clients with previous access to credit and additional source of credit have higher financial literacy of interest rate. Age, education X Gender, rural Previous access to moneylenders, family and friends X Previous access to banks, NBFI, NGO or Credit Unions; multiple borrowing Financial literacy is not automatically achieved with access to finance; deliberate financial education measures are needed to improve it. Given the cost of education programs, it may be cost-effective to take financial education measures with target segments with especially low financial literacy. Transparency culture and supervision could help improving client financial literacy. Client financial literacy may be a necessary line of defence against over-indebtedness.

Panel data: Baseline with one to four follow-up surveys (depending on the innovation). Data sources: Questionnaires (clients) and Management Information Systems (MFIs). Assignment of innovation at branch level (Number of branches in samples: 2 to 29). Typical evaluation methodology: Difference-in-differences (sometimes supported by Propensity Score Matching).
34 Risk Management Groups of outcome variables: Financial attitude - Debt-related attitudes - Precaution-related attitudes Financial behaviour/risk management - Planning horizon - Setting money aside etc. Asset building - Insurance - Savings Over-indebtedness/multiple borrowing - Borrowing from other informal/formal source - Took loan to repay another - Repayment difficulties Vulnerability - Expenses covered by income

Results Strongest positive impact on the repayment behaviour of clients: Reduction of 3.4% in late payments Significant and positive impacts on: Asset building through 10% increase of insurance uptake, Financial attitude through 8% reduction in clients believe that it is impossible to save, 1% increase in clients association of savings and security, through improved handling of debt, as well as attitude towards borrowing
36 Vision Fund-Cambodia VFC applied a direct training approach and implemented training sessions with clients (2 days course). Results Some impact on financial attitude and risk management 10% decrease of negative perception towards insurance Partially improved attitude towards savings 9% increase of setting money aside for future emergencies 22% increase in ability to put money aside for emergency expenses; Little evidence with respect to asset building (except for 8-10% increase of savings incidence); Many mixed and counter-intuitive results for multiple borrowing/overindebtedness and vulnerability.
