Rationale and methodology for the survey

This chapter briefly describes the motivation for the household survey, noting the demand among the Kyrgyz population for financial products and services is poorly understood. It suggests better understanding can help commercial banks, as well as policy makers and central bankers, to design more targeted interventions. The chapter outlines methodology and content of the 2019 survey of 1 000 households on their access to and use of (green) financial products and services in the Kyrgyz Republic. It notes the survey helps fill a gap in evidence on access to and demand for green financial products and services in the Kyrgyz Republic, and supports developing solutions to promote green finance-related activities.
