The second webinar in the EMEA – EMANES research debate series will take place on Wednesday 09 February 2022, 15:00 CET, and it will present the results of the study on “Financial Inclusion in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Countries: A survey of Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco and Tunisia“.

This study provides an in-depth analysis of the state of Financial Inclusion (FI) in five countries in the South and East Mediterranean: Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco and Tunisia. The analysis is based on a survey conducted by the Euro-Mediterranean Network for Economic Studies (EMNES) researchers using interviews, literature research and secondary data. The main aim is to investigate the salient features of FI, the barriers to achieving FI, and the regulatory framework and policies used to promote FI in each country.

At the debate EMEA and EMANES researchers and experts will discuss the state of FI in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Countries, the barriers to achieving FI, and the regulatory framework and policies used to promote FI in each country, in addition to the challenges and opportunities brought by the COVID pandemic.
