Abstract
This paper computes and analyzes the degree of financial inclusion and the inclusive growth in Indonesia. Using provincial data, we calculate the Index of Financial Inclusion (IFI) based on the accessibility, the availability, and the usage of the financial services. On the other hand, the Index of Inclusive Growth (IIG) is developed through the method of social opportunity function by increasing the average level and equity index of opportunities. The result shows that the financial inclusion in Indonesia is largely determined by the accessibility, while the availability and the usage play only small portion. This leads to a conclusion that the group of the poor is limited on using the financial services. Furthermore, we use social opportunity function to measure the inclusive growth, and find a positive correlation with the financial inclusion. These findings call the attention from regulators to push the financial sector to extend their services further beyond their existing market target.

I. INTRODUCTION
As the deadline for achieving the Millennium Development Goals, the year of 2015 becomes an important milestone to highlight the achievement from each region. The goals emphasize the elimination of extreme poverty by enabling all segments of the population to benefit from such growth (United Nations, 2015). In this regard, economic growth in Indonesia continuous to perform well over the past decade which GDP annual growth rate reaches 5.03 percent in 2014. Moreover, there is a decline trend of the percentage of poor people from 2002 to 2014 (Statistics Indonesia, 2015).
Despite the success achieved in terms of economic growth and poverty level, large divergences exist in poverty rates between rural and urban areas, with extreme poverty in urban areas is usually higher than in rural areas. In addition, gaps in development achievements have widened across provinces. Poverty in eastern provinces shows far higher numbers than in the more developed
This has heightened the need for government to create a broader concept of economic growth that enabling all segments of the population to benefit for such growth. The inclusiveness in economic growth thus becomes one of the crucial policies to alleviate poverty. To achieve this objective, many developing countries including Indonesia concern to improve financial sector as the core of development agenda (Bank Indonesia, 2014). Without removing financial barriers to financial services, poor people may find themselves in the poverty trap (Demirgüç- Kunt et al., 2008). In short, the concept of inclusive financial system emerges as not only for
While the importance of inclusiveness either for financial sector and economic growth is widely recognized in the policy circle in recent years, scarcity of literature focusing on measurements and determinants of financial inclusion for inclusive growth of Indonesia leads to void. Consequently, a more nuanced understanding in assessing its dynamics has risen to be a substantial agenda. To bridge the gap, this study endeavors to examine status in inclusiveness of finance and growth across provinces.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first unified study in measuring and determining growth and financial inclusiveness applied in an Indonesian
The next section of this paper reviews respected studies as a fundamental theory to develop methods of unified measurement as outline on section three. The calculation result and its analysis are provided on section four, while section five concludes the presentation of this paper.
Financial Inclusion And Inclusive Growth: A
II. THEORY
A number of recent papers have convinced many developing economists and policy makers about the positive impact of financial inclusion on economic growth and poverty alleviation. However, there is still no a global definition to represent financial inclusion. At the beginning, the early study is initially contributed from Leyshon and Thrift (1995) who define financial inclusion as antithesis of financial exclusion. The processes of financial exclusion prevent poor and disadvantaged social groups from gaining access to the financial system because of lack accessibility, collateral, credit histories and connections.
Based on the above problems, it is crucial to improve
Since the early 2000s, financial inclusion has been widely used as a policy concern for many governments and central banks in developing nations. In India, financial inclusion emphasizes the process of ensuring access to financial services and adequate credit for the poor at an affordable cost (Rangrajan Committee, 2013). In Peru, Reyes (2010) highlights the importance of a broad access for majority of the population to a portfolio of financial products and services, such as loans, deposits, insurance, pensions, payment systems, as well as financial education and consumer protection mechanisms.
In Indonesia, financial inclusion becomes a national strategy to boost economic growth through equal income distribution, poverty reduction and financial system stability (Hadad, 2010). The right of every individual is ensured to access a full range of quality financial services at an affordable cost. The target of the policy concerns to
In short, a number of recent papers have associated at least three main points of financial inclusion which are access, groups of society, and financial system

The call for inclusive growth in Asia has emerged when recent growth in Asia is accompanied by falling poverty and rising disparities (Klassen, 2010). Growth with continued inequalities within a country may create social and political unrest and criminal activities from people who are persistently deprived (ADB, 2011). These episodes emphasize that the mere growth is not sufficient to enable all segments of the population to benefit from such growth. The concept of inclusiveness has thus emerged as the main policy to be considered especially for incorporating the needs of the extremely poor and vulnerable.
However, there exists no clear indicator to define the progress of inclusive growth. Some international organizations define inclusive growth in ways that are at odds one another. For instance, World Bank (2008) mainly concerns on
Likewise, the United nation Development Program (UNDP) emphasizes the inclusive growth is about more than income by putting other indicators of improved wellbeing (human development) first. The brief definition also given by Asian Development Bank (ADB) through its Strategy 2020 that identifies inclusive growth as two strategic focuses, namely high sustainable income growth and opportunities for all societies. To do this, ADB (2011) proposes the three policy pillars that supported by good governance and strong institutions – expansion of economic opportunity, social inclusion to promote equal access to opportunities, and social safety nets (Klassen, 2010).
Recent studies also show different approach in defining inclusive growth. Ali and Son (2007) entirely concern into an approach that examines the patterns of
To do this, Anand, Mishra and Peiris (2013) highlight the income growth and income distribution as the main factors of inclusive growth. The inequality can decline if and only if the incomes of poor people grow faster than those of the population as a whole (relative definition). However, the goal of reducing inequality is not to sacrifice the rich at the expense of the poor. Anand, Tulin and Kumar (2014) further explore a new measure of inclusive growth that initially developed by Anand, et al. (2013). Besides social expenditures, spending on education, and educational attainment rates, the element of

To be concluded, the international organizations and researchers have the same approach to produce related concepts of inclusive growth, which is
Empirical evidence shows a strong positive link between the development of the financial system and
Existing work suggests that it is not enough to merely concern on the development of finance and growth. Thus, the broad concept of inclusiveness of finance and growth recently emerges to provide easy access on portfolio financial products for an equal opportunity on growth
For financial inclusion, some literatures tries to measure the extent of financial inclusion across economies, such as
Further, Sarma (2012) develops a method of computing the Index Financial Inclusion (IFI) that can be used to compare the levels of financial inclusion across states or provinces within countries at a particular time period. The method fulfills the assumptions of comparability, mathematical properties, and three dimensions (accessibility, availability and usage of banking service). The low IFI is shown by lower middle income, while most of high income countries have the high IFI.

For inclusive growth, empirical research has expanded the study to examine the indicators of inclusive growth, such as Ali and Son (2007), Zhuang and Ali, (2011), Anand, et al., (2013) and Anand, et al. (2014). To start, Ali and Son (2007) discuss the measurement of inclusive growth from two factors of social opportunities function: (i) average opportunities available to the population; and (ii) how opportunities are distributes in the population. The study develops dynamic analysis of inclusive growth through the shift of opportunity curves. If the curve shifts upward, the growth is inclusive. By taking the case of Philippines, the study focuses on public service in health and education.
Following Ali and Son (2007), the measurement of inclusive growth is also developed by Anand, et al. (2013). They apply the microeconomic concept of a social mobility function by adding macroeconomic dimensions of growth and income distribution. They found that macroeconomic stability, human capital, and structural changes are indicated as foundation of inclusive growth. Further, Anand, et al.’s (2013) results aligns closely to the study of Anand, et al. (2014). Here, Anand, et al. (2014) determines whether macroeconomic and financial conditions have empirical significance in growth inclusiveness.
According to the above explanation, a deep understanding of finance and growth are substantively advance by the further measurement of the interaction between the inclusiveness of the financial system and economic growth. Recently, empirical research has adequately discussed the study of the
For instance, a research that explains in theoretical foundation of growth and finance inclusiveness is shown by Chandran and Manju (2010). The study presents a descriptive analysis in enhancing financial inclusion that is usually linked to poverty alleviation and at the end create inclusive growth. They argued that the financial inclusion will serve a stronger and inclusive growth by empowering individuals and families to cultivate economic opportunities.
In terms of empirical analysis, Anand, et al. (2014) examined the determinants of growth inclusiveness. To formulate

III.METHODOLOGY 3.1. Data
This study analyzes Indonesian data from 2008 to 2014 which is obtained from various source. Besides from Bank Indonesia and World Bank, a specific data from National Social Economic Survey Data (SUSENAS) are predominantly used because it relatively provides a consistent data on yearly basis in 33 provinces. The survey which is developed by Statistics Indonesia has two sets of data which are core data (baseline survey) and module data (specific data). SUSENAS provides data for a specific measure of consumption, household welfare, and current household income from a sample size of 237,641 individuals across Indonesia (Furuta, 2014). To analyze these data, this study utilizes statistical software of Stata and Excel. Figure 1 summarizes the provision of data from various indicators.

3.2. Measurement Analysis
This study focuses to assess index measurement of two main sectors. Firstly, the index measurement of financial inclusion is adopted from the method of Sarma (2012). The method of Sarma (2012) is applied because it provides a robust comprehensive measurement and comparable across province. Secondly, the inclusiveness in growth is analyzed by using the method of Ali and Son (2007) and Anand, et al. (2013). In detail, the steps of method are discussed as follows.
288Bulletin of Monetary, Economics and Banking, Volume 18, Number 3, January 2016
3.2.1.Index of Financial Inclusion (IFI)
We use three dimensions to measure the Index of Financial Inclusion (IFI); they are accessibility (d1), availability (d2), and usage (d3). The indicator of accessibility reflects a penetration of formal financial institutions, while the availability is indicated by banking branches. Lastly, usage dimension includes the volume of credit per total household sector. These data is used after considering the availability of data from various sources, in particular SUSENAS. The three dimensions (di) is formulated from:
where: Wi |
= weight attached to the dimension i |
Ai |
= actual value of dimension i |
mi |
= lower limit on the value of dimension i |
Mi |
= upper limit on the value of dimension i |
After accomplishing the three dimensions, a single value of dimension will be placed between 0 and wi. In this study, the weight attached to each dimension is the same (wi = 1). Following the method of Sarma (2012), this research assumes that all dimensions have the same importance, so that the weighted value wi = 1 for all i. The dimension value closes to wi shows the area with the highest achievement in all dimensions.
Sarma (2012) empirically observed minimum for the lower limit and maximum for the upper limit. Unlike the human development dimensions, it is difficult to assess the upper and lower limit of financial inclusion. However, since there is no outlier result in Indonesian case, the point of Mi represents the maximum value from the available data which is formed as the upper limit for each dimension, while mi represents the lower limit.
Further, X1 gives the normalized Euclidean distance of X from the worst point 0, while X2 is normalized Euclidean distance of X from the ideal point w. IFI will be proceeded through these formulas:
Financial Inclusion And Inclusive Growth: A
The below IFI formula is simple average of X1 and X2
As mentioned earlier, the index value of each dimension lies between 0 and wi. The higher value of di indicates the more ideal point on dimension at i. The point X = (d1, d2, d3) shows the achievement of financial inclusion at a province. In dimensional space, the point O = (0,0,0) represents the worst situation, while the point W = (w1, w2, w3) – where w1, w2, and w3 are the weight attached to each dimension – represents the most ideal situation for all dimensions (Figure 2).

3.2.2.Index of Inclusive Growth (IIG)
For the index measurement, there will be a variation status in inclusiveness of finance and growth across provinces in Indonesia. The Index of Inclusive Growth (IIG) is initially developed by Ali and Son (2007) by focusing on the social opportunity function. Following Ali and Son (2007), the social opportunity in this study is defined as the opportunity of the society to access the educational and health services. The opportunity to access health services is measured on how sick people seek treatment in available health facilities or hospitals, while the access of education is measured through average access to education by
As in Ali and Son (2007), the average opportunity ( y ) for the population (n) who enjoys a given opportunity defined as:

Figure 3. Social Mobility Curve
AB is social mobility curve. A higher curve implies greater social mobility curve, and finally growth is more inclusive. The degree of this inclusive depends on how much the curve shifts up and the change of distribution opportunity (equity). To capture the magnitude of the change in average opportunity distribution, an index of social mobility function from the area under the social mobility curve is formed as follows:
Financial Inclusion And Inclusive Growth: A
The greater the y, the greater the average level of opportunity. Ali and Son (2007) propose an income equity index as:
An equitable society is shown by y > y . According to Ali and Son (2007), the value ω
>1 shows the more equal opportunity, while ω < 1 shows the more unequal opportunity. Rearranging,
Some conditions could achieve inclusive growth by increasing the average level of opportunities (y ), increasing equity index of opportunities (ω) or combining both terms. Growth is more inclusive if the degree of inclusive growth (d y)> 0. It is formulated as:
Figure 4 depicts graphically all possible combination of the shift from the two terms (average opportunity and distribution of opportunity). A

3.3. Analytical Framework
Figure 5 presents the analytical framework of this study. The final target is to alleviate poverty by using the sustainability and inclusiveness in two main sectors – finance and economy. To implement these concepts, computing of Financial Inclusion (IFI) and Index of Inclusive Growth (IIG) is implemented across 33 provinces comparison.
In the index presented in the paper, IFI is built from dimensions of accessibility, availability of the banking service and usage of banking system. Further, a measure of IFI that is based on the proportion of adults or households with a bank account ignore the important segment of population excluded from financial sector. To distinguish from others, these dimensions are largely focused on quantifying the extent of financial inclusion that can be accessed by the poor. Meanwhile, IIG assesses income per capita and change of income per capita. If a province becomes more inclusive, it is not only improve the growth but also the social opportunity (access to health and education) for the poor is higher than the
These measurement together build an inclusive system in finance and economy. As finance become the major form in the Indonesian economic system, financial system is often used as the gateway to sustain the economic growth. Similarly, this study consider financial inclusion as being analogous to inclusive growth. By making it possible to assess the extent of IFI and IIG as

IV. RESULT AND ANALYSIS 4.1. Financial Inclusion
There is transition program to empower the poor which is from microcredit to microfinance. In process, the inclusiveness in finance offers a broader set of financial services including credit, savings, money transfers and insurance plan (Robinson, 2001; Armendariz and Morduch, 2010). With the target to involve the poor for a better quality life, the concept of financial inclusion becomes crucial to implement.
Financial inclusion needs to be supported by the empirical analysis on how to measure financial inclusion in aggregate economic indicators. Furthermore, it would increase the participation of poor people in economic growth and finally create inclusive growth. To do this, the Indonesian database on financial inclusion can help build local statistical capacity. Besides, the comparability of financial inclusion indicators can be increased across economies and over time.

From the proportion of 3 dimensions of IFI, the accessibility dimension has the highest value, followed by availability and usage. This results indicate that financial inclusion in Indonesia is dominantly determined by the dimension of accessibility and other dimensions (availability and usage) only have small proportion. In many provinces, the proportion of poor adults could have high accessibility to the financial system, but they do not use them enough due to remoteness of bank branches or other physical or psychological barriers. Literatures have emphasized that those services is not utilized adequately, even the people have access to financial services (Sarma, 2012).
As indicated by the low value of usage dimension, the high accessibility, however, is not fully optimized by the group of poor people to use formal financial services, in particular, as primary sources of credit. In spite of borrowing from banking facilities, the poor households tend to use informal financial services. The dominant role of

Figure 6 presents the IFI values from 33 provinces in Indonesia at the end of period. In brief, levels of provinces are divided into three categories as measured by IFI: (i) low IFI provinces for those having IFI values less than 0.3; (ii) medium IFI provinces for those having IFI values between 0.3 and 0.6; and (iii) high IFI provinces for those having IFI values between 0.6 and 1 (Sarma, 2012).

Figure 6. IFI Values across Provinces in Indonesia
The result shows that Jakarta have been categorized as the high IFI province by 0.704 in
2014. During the period, Jakarta have placed the first rank with the high IFI value (above 0.6), except in the year 2008 (0.544). The medium IFI provinces are represented by Bali, Yogyakarta and East Kalimantan. On the contrary, the lowest rank of IFI have been placed by West Java, Maluku, West Nusa Tenggara, Lampung and West Sulawesi.
Figure 4.2 depicts the evolution of inclusiveness across provinces in Indonesia that differed by color gradient – dark blue (the high IFI), medium blue (the medium IFI) and light blue (the low IFI). Although there is no high IFI province, Indonesia generally performs a better level of the inclusiveness in finance during the period. There is transition level of majority Indonesian provinces from low IFI to medium IFI.

Figure 7. Comparison of IFI Map across Provinces
As indicated in the averaged IFI values of Indonesia (0317), the country has been placed in the medium category during the period. As shown in Figure 7, majority of provinces in Indonesia is categorized as medium IFI provinces in 2014. Those who consistently having medium IFI values in 2008 and 2014 are Yogyakarta, Central Java, North Sumatera, West Sumatera, Bengkulu, South Kalimantan, Bali, West Papua and Papua. A second set of group reflects the provinces with the unchanged low IFI in 2008 and 2014 which represented by eastern provinces – Southeast Sulawesi, West Nusa Tenggara and Maluku.
While there is broad agreement on the basic policies that are important for inclusiveness and poverty alleviation, the recent literature has identified the relationship between financial inclusion and development (Sarma, 2008). Some of key determinants of development proposed in the literature have been related with better financial sector. As the most widely
Financial Inclusion And Inclusive Growth: A
used development index, the Human Development Index (HDI) represents the best indicator of development to be associated with the level of financial inclusion. The scatter plot between IFI and HDI provides a tool to analyze the relationship of inclusiveness in finance to development (Figure 8).

Figure 8. Scatter Plot of IFI and HDI
Since the availability of data for HDI is the biggest constraint, this study relies on HDI data from the latest Statistics Indonesia in 2013. Based on the IFI comparable data, this study plotted the value of IFI and HDI for each 33 provinces. In general, the provinces with high level HDI are analogous with a relatively high level of financial inclusion. Similarly, the provinces with high and medium IFI values are with relatively higher levels of HDI, such as Jakarta, Bali and Yogyakarta. Some exceptions for the medium IFI provinces, such as Papua, West Nusa Tenggara and East Nusa Tenggara have been placed at the lowest HDI level.

4.2.Inclusive Growth
The mere growth is not sufficient to ensure that the poor as marginalized groups are involved in. Hence, an approach to reducing inequality has generated the term in inclusive growth. To measure inclusive growth, the study uses the proposed method of Ali and Son (2007), then combine with Anand, et al. (2013).
Following Ali and Son (2007), the social opportunity function focuses on assessing access to educational and health services. The growth can be inclusive if it increases average opportunities available to the population (y ) and the distribution of opportunities (ω). By taking the Indonesian case, there are four possible scenarios on inclusiveness matrix while plotting the extent of inclusive growth (Table 2).

Change of equity index of opportunity
Figure 9. Distribution of Indonesian Provinces on Inclusiveness Matrix
A similar results is shown in Figure 10 that concludes the inclusiveness level () for the changes on the two elements ( y and ω). The yellow bars represent the growth of opportunities, while the green bars represents the growth of opportunity distribution. The inclusive growth occurs if the degree of inclusiveness () is positive.
In here, some provinces that successfully achieve inclusive growth are Central Java, West Sumatera, Maluku, South Kalimantan, West Java, Bali, Banten and Central Kalimantan. In Maluku, inclusive growth is determined by a higher contribution from distribution of opportunity. The increased opportunities for the poor could also fully enhance inclusive growth in Riau, Banten, Southeast Sulawesi, Bali and South Kalimantan. For other provinces, the equity objective could be achieved at the cost of foregone average opportunity, such as Jakarta, Bangka Belitung, North Sumatera, North Maluku, West Papua, and Papua

Figure 10. Decomposition of Inclusive Growth
While the Ali and Son (2007) does not arise the pattern of income growth, we attempts to involve the indicator of income in here. To complement this shortcoming, the study also develops the indifference curves proposed by Anand, et al. (2013). The slope of indifference curve may be helpful in examining the extent to which growth are distributed equitably or not. Economic growth shifted the indifference curve upward (Anand. et al., 2013)
Figure 11 shows the indifference curves highlighting inclusiveness for selected provinces (Jakarta, Bali, Aceh, Maluku, West Papua and East Kalimantan). Although these provinces are not inclusive, they still could have an increased income per capita. For instance, West Papua has an upward curve from 2008 to 2014, even this province is not inclusive. Similarly, other selected provinces which experience inclusive growth show an upward curves as well. It indicates that the growth condition of a province is not merely affected by the status of province; whether inclusive or not.

Figure 11. Indifference Curves for Selected Provinces
302Bulletin of Monetary, Economics and Banking, Volume 18, Number 3, January 2016
To see the relationship of financial inclusion and inclusive growth, the study presents a plotted data of IFI and IIG across economies and over time (Figure 12). Since the degree of inclusive growth needs a previous analytical year, the year of 2008 is excluded. The result shows a positive slope for IFI and IIG. It is presumed that there is a positive correlation between IFI and IIG. The improvement in financial inclusiveness could positively encourage a sustained and inclusive growth. At the end, the objective of poverty alleviation could be achieved.
Figure 12. Relationship between IFI and HDI
The above calculations may contribute on providing clear description about the financial inclusion and the inclusive growth across provinces in Indonesia. However, this paper does not attempt to explain what determines these conditions3. We believe the fundamental characteristic of each region, the quality and the quantity of their human resource, the market, and the regional policies will play significant role on determining the level of financial inclusion within the region.
3 We leave this for the future research.
Financial Inclusion And Inclusive Growth: A
V. CONCLUSION
This study is a humble attempt to serve an important tool for benchmarking and for motivating policy makers to embrace the inclusiveness in finance and economy. To implement these concepts, computing of Financial Inclusion (IFI) and Index of Inclusive Growth (IIG) is needed across 33 provinces comparison. Firstly, IFI is built from dimensions of accessibility, availability of the banking service and usage of banking system. To better address the further measurement of financial inclusion, this study tries to quantify and focus on the poor as the main objective of financial inclusiveness.
The result shows that the country has been placed in the medium category during the period. In general, financial inclusion in Indonesia is dominantly determined by the dimension of accessibility and other dimensions (availability and usage) only have small proportion, meaning that the group of poor people is not fully optimized to use formal financial services, in particular, as primary sources of credit. Thus, the policy makers need to improve the availability and usage of financial services at affordable price in particular for the poor.
Secondly, the inclusive growth is measured following the social opportunity function.
