Objectives of FinScope Madagascar 2016

• To describe the levels of financial inclusion (i.e. levels of access to financial
 products and services – both formal and informal)
• To describe the landscape of access (i.e. the type of products and services used
 by financially included individuals)
• To identify the drivers of, and barriers to financial access
• To stimulate evidence-based dialogue that will ultimate lead to effective
 public and private sector interventions that will increase and deepen financial
 inclusion
• To create a benchmark/baseline for financial inclusion in Madagascar (2016) to
 which provide an assessment of changes and factors in the future (including
 possible impacts of future interventions to enhance access)

Understanding people’s lives:
                Income / livelihoods
• Farming is very important to the Malagasy with 71% of households being involved in farming with rice
     (43%) and legume crops (10%)
•    31% of farmer households are in possession of a document for the land they farm on (title deed or petits
     papiers)
•    18% of farmer households are consumption, 9% are fully commercial and 73% both consume and sell their
     produce
•    Drought and natural disasters and product spoilage and lack of tools are the main problems for farmers

Understanding people’s lives:
             Agriculture
• 7% of farmer households received formal training/technical assistance mainly in agricultural, fishing
    and livestock techniques with most having had it free of charge
•   Land size, lack of water and low productivity are the main barriers to commercialisation
•   Markets are more popular amongst those farmers selling their produce while those selling to more
    formal buyers are few

Summary

 Population profile:
          About three out of four adults reside in the rural areas
          Low educational levels amongst adults
          Low income levels and low formal employment
 Access to infrastructure:
          Access to piped running water is lower in rural areas
          One in three households have an electricity connection
          Accessibility to common formal financial service destinations such as
           banks or ATMs and MFIs is a challenge and much lower in rural areas
           taking most adults more than 30 minutes to reach
 Farming is the most important source of income with over half the adult
  population dependent on income from farming activities
 Most adults are dependent on the informal economy to generate their
  livelihoods leaving very little usage of formal products

   The Landscape of Access is used to illustrate the extent to which financially included
   individuals have/use financial products/services (excluding those borrowing from
   family/friends and those who save at home/hiding in secret place)

                                                                              46
Financial inclusion:
Regional level analysis
 Anamalanga (42%), Analanjirofo (41%) and Vakinankaratra (37%) are the most
  formally included regions with Analanjirofo being the highest proportion of
  adults with other formal (non-bank) products

 The regions of Bongolava (18%), Vakinankaratra (25%) and Itasy have the lowest
  excluded population proportions mainly driven by informal product uptake

 The highest excluded population proportions are in the regions of Sava (60%),
  Androy (62%) and Sofia (66%)

 Credit uptake is higher in the regions of Itasy (52%) and Vakinankaratra (51%) with
  higher formal borrowing in Vakinankaratra (10%) and higher borrowing from
  friends/family (45%) in Itasy

 Savings are higher in the regions of Bongolava (84%) and Vatovavy Fitovinany
  (75%) driven mainly by informal savings in livestock in Bongolava

Financial Inclusion Priorities

1.   Continued enabling regulatory environment and introduction of low cost ‘no-frills’
     account to deepen bank reach to better meet needs

2.   Mobile money as tool to increase reach of formal services – 80% of those that use
     mobile money use it to remit - extend financial services to extend savings,
     insurance and credit amongst other transactional usage such as payments

3.   Savings is the biggest driver of financial inclusion in Madagascar largely driven by
     informal mechanisms and those not using financial products to save

4.   Insurance to better manage impact of risks - insurance is driven by funeral cover
     largely through solidarity systems which in fact are not financial products

5.   Consumer education and financial literacy are real issues in Madagascar –
     interaction with products and insurance is encumbered are largely financial
     illiteracy and low income levels

                                                                                            49
