| Comment |
Data for indicator 8.10.2 are not available according to the relevant UN methodology. Therefore, a proxy indicator was designed, which can be used as a substitute for reporting indicator 8.10.2.
When collecting data on payment system statistics, gender and age of people who have an account in a bank or other financial institution, or who have a provider of mobile money services are not distinguished. Only data on the number of payment accounts with credit institutions is available. No other details are available for the estimation and calculation of the indicator itself, without which the estimation would be unreliable. |
