This report analyses the second iteration of the survey, which covers the second half of 2024. Indicators tracked in the survey provide a baseline to target and monitor improvements in the ease of access to transactional banking and payments services, in line with promoting a more efficient and inclusive domestic financial system. In this regard, the Central Bank expects that the results will help inform policies and reforms that favourably impact the outcomes for customers of Central Bank supervised financial institutions.
