Since 2016, the Central Reserve Bank has been conducting a series of household and business surveys to empirically diagnose the status and challenges of financial inclusion. This strategy is based on an evidence-based diagnosis that identifies the main causes of exclusion, proposes specific components to address the different causes, identifies the relevant actors within the framework of an institutional coordination structure led by a Presidential Commissioner for Financial Inclusion, and defines verifiable short- and medium-term goals. Nonetheless, the strategy was still awaiting implementation in early 2017. Since 2009, efforts have been made to diagnose the status of financial inclusion in the country and to formulate evidence-based government actions, based on a robust institutional framework coordinated by the National Council for Financial Inclusion, led by the National Banking and Securities Commission as of 2011.
