Abstract

For some years mobile money has been a favorite place for financial populations, especially people in developing countries. In this context, the financial inclusion index, which provides information on the level of financial inclusion of the different regions of the world, must also be included in this aspect. The objective of this study is to introduce mobile money in the calculation of the financial inclusion index. Applied the calculation of this multidimensional index of financial inclusion between 0 and 1 in some African countries, it does have a significant effect on the indication of financial inclusion. However, data on some indicators of financial inclusion are missing, which limits the calculation of this index.
