Peran Kebudayaan terhadap Inklusi Keuangan: Literasi Keuangan sebagai Variabel Mediasi
Main Article Content
Abstract
Financial inclusion plays a crucial role in sustainable economic development; however, financial exclusion remains a significant challenge, especially among the poor and those in remote areas. Therefore, research on financial inclusion is becoming increasingly important for academics and policymakers. Previous studies have explored the impact of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions on financial inclusion, but significant differences in results exist. This study re-examines the relationship between culture, financial literacy, and financial inclusion, with financial literacy as a mediating variable, using the latest financial data from 35 OECD member countries and their partners in 2022. The 2SLS method shows that individualism positively influences both financial inclusion and financial literacy, while uncertainty avoidance negatively affects financial literacy and financial inclusion, though it is not significant for financial inclusion. Financial literacy is found to mediate the relationship between financial inclusion and individualism. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers in promoting sustainable financial inclusion, particularly for OECD countries and their partners.
