Compare indicators across countries and periods. Start by gaining a broad overview of the financial market through National Surveys, (which are nationally representative surveys of adults in a particular country) demonstrate how people source their income and manage their financial lives.

Deepen your understanding of how low-income households manage their financial lives using Financial Diaries which offers insight into the combination of financial instruments that households use over time. Trained enumerators visit households multiple times over an extended period to ask questions about income, expenses and transactions in financial instruments.

You can also overlay Geospatial Data to learn more about a particular area and explore the MSME sector of a country.
