About this book
This book presents a holistic picture of Nigeria's financial services landscape. This includes identifying service providers and regulatory bodies, understanding consumer behaviour, and examining the unique challenges faced by Nigerian financial institutions. The book presents up-to-date research on recent developments and regulatory changes within Nigeria’s financial sector, as well as future considerations for how financial services and financial inclusion can play a crucial role in the country’s sustainable economic growth.
Combining academic analysis with practical insights, the book takes readers through Nigeria’s key financial services providers, regulators, consumers, marketing strategies and challenges. A core focus throughout is on financial inclusion and the opportunities associated with reaching financially underserved or excluded populations, demonstrating how increasing financial access at a country-wide level aligns with global goals of reducing inequalities and promoting growth. It will have interdisciplinary appeal to those working in finance, economics, business, public policy and development studies. The book is written in an accessible style with a comprehensive approach that will be of use to scholars and students as well as policy-makers and professionals working in the financial services industry.
