This paper presents the financial inclusion development in Palestine, including the analysis and the discussion of the financial inclusion indicators and its comparison to other indicators in certain countries in the region. The indicators that were analyzed are the banking penetration and usage of banking services. We found that Palestine has achieved a remarkable improvement to enhance the financial inclusion such as branching and electronic tools, while the credits in Palestine has a limit level as same as the other MENA countries.
