: The progress of a region can be measured by the level of financial literacy of its population and financial inclusion. DKI Jakarta is in the top financial ranking for literacy and inclusion, but it is inversely proportional to the Pulau Seribu region. This research is a qualitative research with the technique of obtaining data through in-depth interviews with residents in the Pulau Seribu. The results are processed with a Strength Weakness Opportunity Threat (SWOT) analysis to produce a map of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats that exist in the Pulau Seribu region. With the SWOT condition in the region, it is hoped that the policy makers, namely the Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK), the DKI Jakarta Regional Government and the community themselves are able to synergize in formulating strategies to accelerate the backwardness of the Pulau Seribu with DKI Jakarta.

Recent development of Shari’a banking is quite satisfying. In 2016, shari’a banking has reported the asset as much as 365.6 trillion rupiahs. On the other hands, the index of shari’a financial literacy and inclusion has not been optimum that is only 8.11% and 11.06% respectively. Therefore, a new innovation is needed to increase the index of literacy and inclusion as a challenge in shari’a banking in Indonesia. As a response, Indonesia Financial Services Authority (OJK) has launched a new regulation of Non-Office Financial Services in the Framework of Inclusive Finance (Laku Pandai) which is expected to increase the index of shari’a financial inclusion. In the application, shari’a finance, which is based on the Islamic laws, should get itself closer to the centre of Islamic spiritual development, namely mosques. A mosque, however, does not only function as a place for developing spirituality but also plays an important role in improving economic activities. Hence, this study is conducted by qualitative research applying the method of Grounded Theory. The synergy between the Laku Pandai program and mosques is performed by involving ummah—the community—as the agent of Laku Pandai whose duty is to assist the community in getting suitable shari’a products and services. In this case, the products of Laku Pandai can be used in worshipping activities (qurban, umroh, hajj, etc), phone-credit recharging, and micro-shari’a financing. The application of this synergy, however, will make the products and services of shari’a finance accessible to the community and thus increase the index of shari’a financial inclusion at once.  The mosque-based education about shari’a finance is obtained by Islamic studies, lectures, and socialization initiated by involved parties, religious leaders and the society, so that it will also increase the index of shari’a financial literacy.Keywords: Laku Pandai, literacy, inclusion, shari’a finance, mosque

The Relationship

<p><strong>Abstract:</strong> The purpose of this research is to find out and analyse the relationship between the Islamic financial literacy index and the Islamic financial inclusion index of the DIY community in the Islamic banking sector. The research uses descriptive quantitative methods. Data collection was carried out by distributing 663 questionnaires in the DIY province. The calculation of the index of Islamic financial literacy and inclusion was carried out by referring to the OJK calculation and Sharma method. From the results of the calculation of the Islamic financial literacy index in DIY Province, the results were 32.47% while the Islamic financial literacy index, specifically for the Islamic banking sector was 26.15%. This result is much higher than the calculation of the Islamic financial literacy index conducted by OJK in 2016. Financial literacy is closely related to financial inclusion so that there needs to be conformity and continuity between both of them. Achievement of financial literacy and inclusion strategies will be more efficient if carried out together so that the achievement of public access to the financial services sector can be done more optimally and can utilise financial products and services that are suitable to achieve sustainable economic prosperity.</p><p><strong>Abstrak:</strong> Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis keterkaitan antara indeks literasi keuangan syariah dan indeks inklusi keuangan syariah masyarakat DIY pada sektor perbankan Syariah.

Abstract In the digital age, financial inclusion continues to be connected to social inclusion. While most personal financial transactions are shifting from cash currency to digital transactions, we must ensure that marginalized members of society are not unbanked and excluded from financial opportunities. Many countries are declaring their intention to transform to cashless societies. India is one such country. As a case study, we investigated rural Indian villages that declared themselves as cashless to assess the financial reality of villagers. We conducted a survey of households (N=3,159) within villages across seven Indian states. In each state, we studied a village that was officially declared cashless and a nearby comparison village. Our findings suggest that the comparison villages did as well as the cashless villages, as financial inclusion via digital banking was minimal to nonexistent. Alongside significant state variations, we found that financial literacy and online access were the best predictors of performing any digital banking activity. This study concludes with a warning against rushing toward digital banking and the formation of cashless societies, as marginalized populations may be excluded.

The article is aimed at studying the theoretical, organizational and methodical aspects of financial inclusion; conducting an analytical research on the development of financial inclusion and its impact on the welfare of the population; formation of recommendations for improving the financial services market in the conditions of ensuring the financial inclusion in Ukraine. The theoretical foundations of financial inclusion and its components are considered, the author suggests to enclose therein the speed and security of obtaining a financial service, which is provided with the help of digital technologies, which is relevant in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The carried out analytical studies of financial inclusion in the world and in Ukraine have shown that its level is constantly growing and there are sufficient prerequisites for its development, including in the financial market the maximum number of the population who will be able to benefit from the use of financial services. As a result of the analysis, a framework for financial inclusion has been developed that allows identifying entities that are often unwittingly excluded from the financial services market – due to low levels of financial literacy, low incomes or discrimination on the part of financial institutions. An important aspect of the implementation of the concept of financial inclusion is the motivation to use financial services, using behavioral finance methods for this – not only by those who are forced to exclude, but also those who voluntarily refused to use them. The publication proposes recommendations and instruments for improving the financial services market, which will increase the level of financial inclusion, which in turn will contribute to economic growth, mobilization of savings, their preservation and increase, introduction of innovations and development of entrepreneurship.

The Impact

Twelve (12) out of the Twenty-three (23) local government areas (LGAs) in Benue State do not have the presence of banks over a long period of time. This situation has deprived the inhabitants of these LGAs of access to formal financial services until the advent of agency banking. This study therefore, investigates the impact of agency banking on financial inclusion and economic activities in Benue State focusing on the agency banking activities of First Bank Ltd. The study is anchored on the agency theory and it used a survey design. The study has utilized both primary and secondary data that were analyzed using descriptive statistical tools and structural equation models. Findings of the study have revealed that agency banking activities of First Bank Ltd have immensely enhanced financial inclusion and economic activities in Benue State. However, challenges such as shortages of cash, security problems, network failures, and lack of financial literacy are militating against the smooth operations of the agency banking in the State. On the basis of these findings, the study has recommended among others that, other banks operating in the State should be encouraged to venture into agency banking in the state so as to have a wider coverage of agency banking in the State. Also, government should provide security and partner with the private sector to provide national carrier communication network system to overcome the network failure challenge. Finally, banks should intensify efforts to educate the masses about the validity and potency of agency banking.
