An Overview of SDGs 8.10.1 and 8.10.2

SDG 8.10 is a relatively new and unresearched topic. Therefore, this chapter briefly overviews target SDG 8.10 and the indicators to strengthen financial institutions and expand access to banking, insurance, and financial services. This chapter reviews the reports, agendas, and surveys on SDG indicators 8.10.1 and 8.10.2. A brief introduction appears on the development of SGD targets and the SDG indicators of SDG 8.10. The chapter then summarizes the rationale and measurements for the indicators, including their impact on financial inclusion and micro- and macroeconomics. Finally, the chapter discusses discrepancies, limitations, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the achievement of the indicators. The conclusion will include possible relevant topics on SGD 8.10 for future research.
