Financial services industry has always drawn a lot of attention, from possible investors, those who need financing, the government and general public. Globally, financial opportunities are becoming more attractive, but also more complex. The goal of this study is to analyze the use of financial services in Serbia. We argue that financial education and literacy are preconditions for the use of financial opportunities. Research has shown that people in Serbia are not well informed about how to make sound financial decisions. The reasons why people in Serbia do not use financial products requires to a greater extent and services special attention. In order to test the differences between people in terms of how well informed they are and which services they use and why, we conducted a survey. Our results show that people with salaries higher than 100,000 RSD are well informed but not motivated to invest. Individuals with middle income do not have enough trust and think that they are not well informed about different opportunities. Additionally, we found that men are better informed than women. This paper aims to provide an overview of the use of financial services in Serbia in order to improve financial decision-making processes and understand the different financial opportunities.

Financial inclusion (FI) appears to be one of the main global agendas as it is an essential way of reducing poverty and increasing the economic growth of a country. FI is the provision of financial services to all segments of society in a more convenient, quality, and affordable way. In this study, the authors analyzed the issues and challenges faced from the two perspectives of the Financial Institutions (FIs) and the rural B40 group concerning the way of pursuing the exclusive of FI. Primary data was collected by conducting semi-structured interviews with four expert bankers from the Financial Institutions (FIs) in Kuala Rompin, Pahang, and two representatives from the B40 customers in the rural areas of Pekan, Pahang, Malaysia. Based on the findings, barriers faced by the supply sides of the FIs include 1) high risk of cost and security, 2) barriers in communication and lack of financial education, and 3) lack of proof documents. The other challenges are 1) competition with the conventional institutions, 2) default risk due to non-payment, and 3) internet connection problem. On the demand side, the issues and challenges found include 1) lack of confidence, 2) lack of proof documents, 3) misuse of capital, and 4) lack of financial literacy. Henceforth, the findings have significant implications for the Islamic banking and finance industry in exploring the current barriers faced in delivering financial inclusion to the lower segment of the society in Malaysia.

This study aims to investigate the possibility of acceleration of financial education programs in Indonesia, through the collaboration of the three main parties, namely: (1) the regulator (Central Bank/Financial Services Authority); (2) the practitioner (financial institutions); and (3) the academia (universities). The study employed a qualitative approach to assess the opinions of the stakeholders in the Gadjah Mada University and related financial practitioners regarding accelerated implementation of financial education programs in Indonesia, which involved interviews with 24 informants who were considered to have knowledge about the financial education program in Indonesia. The study concluded that the respondents showed a positive perception on the importance and benefits of financial education programs in Indonesia. Other findings depicted that financial education programs need to be directed at the entire community with a wider coverage range. To expedite the process, a solid collaboration needs to be made between the three main parties: (1) Central Bank/ Financial Services Authority as regulator; (2) financial institutions (practitioners and providers of financial products and services); and (3) academia (universities). In terms of the implementation of the proposed program, the collaboration of all three parties need to be directed to the selected students who will firstly be prepared to be a financial educator (by giving knowledge, education and mentoring). Selected and well-trained students are expected to be effective educator who has energy resource availability in large quantities and a more mobile and larger coverage to accelerate financial education program in Indonesia.Keywords: literacy, education, financial inclution

Saving Rates

Abstract In rural Kazakhstan, the credit and insurance services are limited and the state support is weak. Therefore, households’ saving is crucial to provide an insurance against the economic and social shocks. The main goal of this study is to contribute to the literature on financial literacy in emerging economies, namely, the effect of financial literacy on saving rates of rural population. Being well educated not always means to be financial literate and make efficient decisions regarding one’s own finance. People with a lower formal education level but with better experience in consuming financial products could be better prepared for making financial decisions including those related to savings. In this paper other socio-economic determinants of saving rates were taken into account, such as an income level, family size and an employment status. This research was carried out in Pavlodar region of Kazakhstan, and the data collection took place in spring 2014. In total, 405 households were surveyed. Results of the analysis show that if a respondent gives at least one correct answer, it positively affects the saving rates as well as one can observe that the higher the financial literacy level, the higher are the saving rates. Availability of state supported financial education programs for rural people will significantly contribute to the financial literacy improvement. At the same time, providing various and appropriate financial products in rural areas will motivate rural people to search for new knowledge and require authorities to intensify activities in this field.

Many financial institutions including government institutions are grappling up to meet financial/banking demands. One of the hurdles could be lack of understanding consumer’s financial requirements by financial institutions. On the consumer side, many do not have sufficient financial literacy or formal education and lack experience in handling financial products. The result of this gap is leading to slower adaptation of financial products even though higher demand for financial products is a reality. The purpose of the research to explore various items of measurement pertaining to theory of planned behavior. Data was collected from target rural areas for this purpose. EFA was carried to on 27 indicator variables obtained from literature review. Three items were dropped, and six factors were extracted through EFA. Further reliability was established for six factors during EFA. In the next stage, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was carried out to establish measurement model fit. Path analysis between item variables and factors was carried out to check for critical ratios. During CFA, reliability test was carried out again using cronbach’s alpha and maximum reliability (H). Followed by convergent and discriminate validity check. The researcher has found that banks need to focus on small borrowers as some of them have good capacity to repay loan with interest. It was observed that regional rural banks have excessive documentation work and also It was observed that rural borrowers still rely heavily on informal loan distributors. The researcher felt that problem of recovery can be resolved through adopting systematic loan applications screening .The researcher suggested based on observation that banks should not be required to furnish any security except personal security

Abstract This study aims to explore the elderly people’s knowledge, attitude, and understandings toward financial management, and how they behave in using IT-supported financial services. Mixed methodologies, including quantitative street survey and qualitative focus group interviews, are used. The result shows an active involvement with investment market of the mature segments despite claiming safe and stable returns as the paramount principle of asset management. They also have a substantial knowledge on some of the technological-enabled financial services, particularly the younger groups (age 50-59). Cybersecurity is their major concern and barrier on whether to use them or not. Besides, their value and behaviors of buying mature adult financial products should be understood within a context of traditional family culture value. Based on the above analysis, the elderly can be categorized into three major types in using IT-supported financial products and services, including proactive users, passive followers and hard opposition. On the one hand, this research breaks up the outdated stereotype of technology use among elderly people; on the other hand, aged people are facing the challenges of cognitive and physical decline led by ageing. As such, it is essential to conduct specific financial literacy intervention. This project brings new insights into the financial education which is appropriate to the elderly.

Descriptive Approach

The development of Islamic banking and Islamic financial institutions in Indonesia lately increasing. One reason is the strong belief in the Muslim community that banking and conventional financial institutions contain usury which is prohibited by Islam. The presence of Agritama Srengat Blitar BMT as Syari'ah savings and loans is intended to be a more innovative alternative in financial services, the financing process is also not complicated. The absence of an element of usury to Murabahah financing, and the ease of the process and conditions for financing, does not make more and more bad loans. The approach used in this research is a qualitative descriptive approach, while the type of research is field research, and the method of collecting data is observation, interview and documentation, which is using three steps, data reduction, file presentation and drawing conclusions.The results of this study indicate that: 1). Financing procedures at BMT Agritama Srengat Blitar use 5C analysis (character, capacity, capital, collateral, condition) and take into account a maximum radius of 10 km, but this does not apply to existing customers and customers who get recommendations from partners. 2). The implementation of Murabahah financing management has not been in accordance with the murabaha management function which includes planning, organizing, implementing, and controlling. Where the planning of murabahah financing is devoted to agriculture and animal husbandry, but in practice it is not appropriate, then in the implementation of murabahah financing using a wakalah contract it is signed together with murabahah. And the supervision conducted by BMT Agritama is not routinely visited to the place of business. Keywords : financing manajement, murabahah

Financial services actively contribute to the humane & economic development of the nation. Financial services lead to social and economic safety hence, each & every individual should be provided with affordable institutional financial products/services popularly called ―Financial Inclusion‖. Despite witnessing substantial progress in financial sector reforms in India, it is overwhelming to note that nearly half of the rural households even today do not have any access to any source of funds (savings/credit) - institutional or otherwise. Hardly one-fourth of the rural households are assisted by banks. Hence the major task before banks are to bring most of those excluded, i.e. 75 percent of the rural households, under the mainstream of formal financial services. There is a need for the formal financial system to look at increasing financial literacy and financial counseling. As a part of corporate social responsibility now a day’s Indian banks and financial market players should actively look at promoting such programs. Financial products& services are identified as basic banking services like deposits accounts, institutional loans, access to payment, remittance facilities & also life & non-life insurance services. The present paper is an attempt to capture the region-wise usage of banking services. The study collected data of 900 respondents from five regions of Gujarat i.e. South Gujarat, North Gujarat, Central Gujarat, Saurashtra, and Kachchh. The study used a five-point Likert scale agreement method to understand the usage of banking services. Also, the study captured the demographic profile of respondents from. The primary data collected through a structure questionnaire.
