Financial Intermediation by Microfinance Banks in Rural Sub-Saharan Africa: Financial Intermediation Theoretical Approach
Summary. Microfinance banks in rural Uganda improve financial inclusion of poor households through two key mechanisms: market penetration and service quality. These factors together explain 22 percent of variation in financial inclusion. Both dimensions independently show significant positive effects on bringing poor rural households into the formal financial system. The study recommends policies strengthening financial intermediaries in rural sub-Saharan Africa where traditional banks are scarce.
