SBP committed to reducing gender gap in financial inclusion Business Sun, Dec 20, 2020 Women’s access to financial and economic opportunities is essential for sustainable and inclusive economic growth. However, women in Pakistan are disproportionately under-served by the financial system. This was stated by the State Bank of Pakistan, in a press release issued on Saturday. According to the handout, only 18% percent of adult women in Pakistan have an active bank account compared with 51% men. SBP said that in order to address the gender disparities, it has adopted a medium-term national target of 20 million active women bank accounts by 2023 under National Financial Inclusion Strategy.
