Tóm tắt

The study examines the correlation between financial inclusion, inflation, and financial stability across 58 countries during the period 2004-2022, employing PVAR analysis. Impulse-response function outcomes indicate a negative relationship between financial stability and both financial inclusion and inflation rate, while financial inclusion and inflation rate display a positive correlation. These results suggest that financial inclusion may exacerbate financial instability, potentially leading to prolonged inflation. Additionally, variance decomposition results affirm the interconnectedness of financial inclusion, inflation, and financial stability. Based on these findings, we offer policy suggestions for enhancing financial stability in Vietnam.
