Financial Development Data (FinData)

The Financial Development Data (FinData) project is a new World Bank Group initiative providing a comprehensive, publicly available, annually updated dataset on financial system development across 218 economies. It brings together 67 indicators covering four segments of the financial system—banks, non-bank financial institutions, equity markets, and debt markets—across four dimensions: depth, access, efficiency, and stability. By bringing financial institutions and markets together in a single, harmonized framework, FinData fills an important gap in the global financial data landscape, enabling users to compare financial system development across countries and income groups, benchmark performance, identify constraints, and inform financial sector reforms.
