Financial Sector Development Indicators (FSDI)

The Financial Sector Development Indicators (FSDI) come from the World Bank. The “concept provides a framework, as well as the means of assessing financial systems comprehensively. The framework combines the dimensions of financial system, namely, size, access, efficiency and stability, with its sectors, such as banking and equity markets. The means of assessing comprise data, including those for wide-ranging and somewhat abstract concepts that have been translated into concrete and practical assessment measures. Both framework and data are grounded in robustly researched and empirically relevant concepts.”
