Abstract

Despite extensive research linking financial inclusion to sustainable development goals (SDGs), a holistic review of this body of knowledge is still lacking. We used bibliometric methods to identify progress and gaps in this research stream to fill this gap. We propose a holistic conceptual framework of financial inclusion, decomposed into five conceptual blocks: digital and non- digital finance, financial services, and individual-level and systemic factors. The results show that current financial inclusion literature contributes mainly to 6 of the 17 SDGs, with the rest being relatively under-researched.
