This study measures Islamic financial inclusion index in Indonesia based on three dimensions, namely: the accessibility, the availability, and the usage of Islamic banking services. Additionally, it also measures the relationship between Islamic financial inclusion index and human development index. The study found that the level of Islamic financial inclusion in Indonesia is relatively low at a national level. DKI Jakarta is the most financially inclusive province in Indonesia, followed by East Java and Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam. In contrast, East Nusa Tenggara has the lowest average of Islamic financial inclusion index. The findings of the present study suggest that the policy makers and Islamic financial industry should play greater role in improving financial access to low-income segment especially in the Eastern part of Indonesia, such as East Nusa Tenggara and Papua provinces.

Financial inclusion is remained low level by the majority of households and firms in Uzbekistan, instead of using formal finance, they are more partial to save and borrow informally. In this case, both indicate the high cost of finance as the top reason for not using it. Moreover, households, which are mostly Muslim, declare that religious reasons prevent them from using formal finance, as only conventional finance is available. The result of the survey was passed between a number of households and entrepreneurs that most of them claimed to use Islamic banking products.

In recent times, commercial agent banking services have got considerable attention from academia and the banking industry for accelerating financial inclusion in emerging economies. However, it's incomprehensible to accelerate the economic progression through financial inclusion while ignoring a huge segment of the nonbank people from unprivileged areas. A very few studies have been conducted on the association between agent banking services and financial inclusion in emerging economies such as Bangladesh. The present study aims to investigate the impact of agent banking services provided by commercial banks on financial inclusion. To begin with the investigation, this study was based on agency theory considering the purposive sampling technique. This quantitative study was conducted on 19 commercial banks which are currently providing agent banking services in Bangladesh. An econometric model was proposed whereas the dependent construct has one specific dimension named as financial inclusion proxy by several accounts as a percentage of the adult population, in contrast, the independent construct had three dimensions named as-deposited amount, credited amount, and inward remittance of agent bank. In addition to that, this econometric model was based on secondary data whereas data analysis was conducted by considering panel data statistical method using GRETL (2019) software. This statistical analysis revealed that currently both the deposited amount and credited amount do have a significant impact on financial inclusion.  It has also been inferred that using agent banking for in-warding remittance and new accounts open by clients have a positive significant relationship with financial inclusion. It is argued that agent banking services by comprising unbanked people in financial inclusion will ultimately prompt the opportunity for proper mobilization of resources and funds while maintaining safety and security. Further, it is also claimed that this study would assist to illustrate the present performance of agent banking services in financial inclusion from a multidimensional perspective which will contribute to providing some more innovative and sustainable products and services towards the unbanked people. Finally, this study recommends that commercial banks through agent banking should include a maximum number of nonbank populations into the financial inclusion by ensuring sustainable agent banking services which will accelerate the emerging economics Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) performance.

Abstract Economic development is one of the effort to realize "social justice for all Indonesian people", so the process of achieving should be pursued in a justice way, so that there is no imbalance that can make the goals not be attained maximally. Sharia Bank is the only banking system that explicitly states that banking activities are based on the justice principle.  Based on that case, this paper will discuss what is the indicator of justice and how urgent is the application of justice principle in banking activities. Then, find out what investment policy models can enhance the role of the community to contribute to development through banking institutions that have applied the principle of justice. The results showed that: first, an indicator of justice in banking activities is based on an existence of the "harm" thing, banks with riba potentially harm both the bank and the customer; secondly, choosing banking services that contain injustice is just the same to choose madharat, because injustice is zhalim; thirdly, Indonesia can implement a policy model of separating deposit and investment accounts, which in investment products the bank acts as a facilitator rather than a fund manager as in deposit accounts. Keywords: Justice, Economic Development, Islamic Banking, Investment.   Abstrak Pembangunan ekonomi adalah salah satu upaya untuk mewujudkan “keadilan sosial bagi seluruh rakyat Indonesia”, sehingga proses untuk mencapainya sudah seharusnya ditempuh dengan cara yang adil agar tidak terjadi ketimpangan yang bisa mengakibatkan tidak maksimalnya pencapaian tujuan tersebut. Bank Syari’ah merupakan satu-satunya sistem perbankan yang secara eksplisit menyebutkan bahwa aktifitas perbankan dijalankan berdasrkan prinsip keadilan.Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, penelitian ini akanmembahas tentang apa indikator keadilan dan bagaimana urgensi penerapan prinsip keadilan dalam aktifitas perbankan, serta menemukan model kebijakan investasi yang dapat meningkatkan peran masyarakat untuk berkontribusi dalam pembangunan ekonomi melalui lembaga perbankan yang telah menerapkan prinsip keadilan. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa: pertama, indikator keadilan dalam aktifitas perbankan yaitu berdasarkan ada atau tidaknya unsur “merugikan”, bank dengan sitem ribaberpotensi merugikan baik bagi pihak bank maupun nasabah; kedua,memilih jasa perbankan yang mengandung unsur ketidakadilan sama saja dengan memilih kemadharatan, karena ketidakadilan adalah sebuah kedzaliman; ketiga, Indonesia bisa menerapkan model kebijakan pemisahan akun deposito dan investasi, yang mana dalam produk investasi bank bertindak sebagai fasilitator bukan pengelola dana seperti dalam deposito. Kata kunci: Keadilan, Pembangunan Ekonomi, Bank Syari’ah, Investasi.

Financial inclusion is a national priority as it is an enabler for inclusive growth. It is important to take banking services to the unbanked and under banked areas, and to the people who are hitherto excluded and left to fend for themselves for their financial needs. In order to provide the much needed thrust to financial inclusion, a flagship programme called the ‘PradhanMantri Jan-DhanYojana’ (PMJDY) was announced by Honourable Prime Minister on 15th August 2014. This paper presents an overview of the scheme. An analysis of views of 50 customers covered under the scheme of State Bank of India is summarized, followed by concerns raised and the way forward.
