Source: Authors own calculations based on FinScope 2015#17Consumer perspective: Experience with formal financial services is problematic It's too far away Not for me I don't trust it "[Bankerisation] It is not so good, it obliges us to not go to work, because we need so much time. And not only for ourselves, I also know friends in the province that require us to collect for them here. I am practically the second signatory for two or three people who live in the province" "Banks are reserved for rich people who have lots of money." "There is no confidence in the banks and cooperatives because they have lost their money in those sectors. Personally, I have a little confidence." It's doesn't work "Although I am paid via my bank, I do not save other there because there are too many problems to get my money. That is why I keep my money in a shop somewhere around me, not far from my house, because the bank is a long distance away, too conventional, and too many connection problems." I waste my time "I dislike, no, I am disgusted by queuing. With banks, you'll arrive there, and you will wait for two, three, maybe five hours. And time is money." I am confused "In Kinshasa we don't know how banks work."

There is a need for the joint development of an integral financial inclusion policy as part of a wider economic growth agenda The adoption of harmonized business law has had a significantly beneficial impact on the re-development of financial services and has enabled elements of the regulatory system to leapfrog developmental cycles and better align with regional and international norms Continued regulatory reform in line with OHADA opens the possibilities for greater regional and continental integration A widespread awareness of the benefits of the broadening of financial services with both government and private sector Strong evidence of the commitment and resolve to build an inclusive and stable financial services sector by regulators Sincere commitment to inclusive market development by private FSPs Well coordinated and cooperative donor community Progress towards financial inclusion has made great strides with some of the largest G2P programmes Limited resources available to regulators due to state budgetary constraints, a capital intensive developing financial sector and the limited use of the national currency#26Broader Regulatory Environment Timing of regulatory instruments Quality of legislation and regulations Limited access to justice and dispute resolution mechanisms • • • • • The time taken to formulate and pass legislation and regulations is always a contentious issue and although a prudent step to avoid rash decisions, but a long incubation period of legislation can inhibit and sometimes undermine the momentum and viability of the financial services sector; e.g. Insurance regulations, NPS Act and Agency Law More principles based legislation with greater reliance on expertise of regulators with broader delegated legislative discretion would enable considered and timely responses to drive and safeguard financial service development. There is no consistency in drafting quality of financial legislation. It varies from superbly drafted and well structured to poorly drafted and tangential In a civil law system, there is utmost reliance on precise drafting with limited variance for interpretation through a consistently high standard of drafting The advancement of financial services strongly relies on both FSPs and Consumers being able to resolve disputes and enforce contracts Courts need technical assistance in the resolution of financial services matters Effective access to courts and alternative dispute handling mechanisms is limited beyond Kinshasa which would limit growth only to nodes of effective justice, particularly with regard to the extension of Credit Customary courts are a potentially widespread point of low value financial dispute handling but would require training#27Regulatory constraints Credit requirements increases cost and risk, limited consumer protection . • • Consumer protection principles not harmonized across institutions, including standards on fees and effective interest rate disclosure and over-indebtedness No mandatory requirements to share credit information Collateral realization problematic, increases risk and cost (>90% of claims lost, 80% of claims go to cost to enforce). Title deeds problematic. No population register or identity documents increasing cost, risk and access. Tax provisions against non-performing loans drains cash flow whilst increasing cost and incentivizes under reporting of doubtful debts. Proportional prudential requirements needed for lower tier banks and non- deposit taking MFIs as it severely hampers lending at smaller scale Demarcation between banks and MFI client bases negates business case for MFIS#28Regulatory constraints Payments AML/CFT to be updated for FATF 2012 requirements in inclusive • National payments needed to ensure fair access, certainty and improve interoperability More comprehensive e-Money framework needed, including equal access to telecoms and payments platforms for MNOS and financial service providers. Status of trust accounts unclear, possible attachment by creditors. Prudential requirements not in line with the proportionately low risk; barrier to competition Simplified CCD allowed for single transactions<$10k, but not accounts FATF 2012 poses risk of exclusion if not implemented with care, effective guidelines key#29Regulatory constraints Regulation in transition Insurance code not principles based, will hamper access, reinsurance and innovation Significant new regulation/ policies underway. Some uncertainty on implementation. • • • Promulgation of the Insurance Code and liberalization. Regulation on leasing. Agency banking regulation under preparation. Payment system regulation. Credit bureau De-dollarisation Law is not harmonized with international standards (IAIS, OHADA), will limit entry & hamper reinsurance. Innovation severely constrained. Law is too detailed & prescriptive for an insurance law, not sufficiently principles based Micro-insurance is not provided for & cannot be accommodated under specified rules of the law, leading to exclusion of largest portion of the Congolese market.#30Regulatory constraints Proportionate prudential requirements on non-deposit taking MFIs and eMoney service providers needed • Proposed prudential requirements on non-deposit taking high relative to risk to borrower. Current limits likely to reduce formal MFI credit extension. eMoney services will struggle to grow to scale without prudential requirements proportionate to the risk; will drive down competition and distribution#31Regulatory constraints Ease of doing business constrained • No access to investment support for financial service providers • • • • Some progress, still difficult environment to set up and manage business Enforcing claims problematic Uncertainty on tax arrangements Investment incentives available to other businesses, not to financial service providers. Could assist to overcome business case constraints to serve excluded. Still contractual constraints on married women . Despite not commonly enforced, married women still require husband's authorization to bind the estate. Includes financial contracts.#32Where to focus? Making financial inclusion matter to more people#33Long term priorities key for full inclusion Growth in income and opportunities • Extend infrastructure to improve distribution footprint . Enable entry of more players to pool funds and offer long term options Address business and contractual environment Will take time to fully address: leverage partnership and technology to improve inclusion#34Priority Areas 1.
