In this Research in Context brief, Caroline Cassidy and Dirk Willem te Velde examine the DEGRP-funded project, ‘Financial regulation in low-income countries,‘ and explore its wider implications for African low-income countries.

Beginning in 2012 and led by Stephany Griffith-Jones of ODI and Columbia University, the project aimed to explore how financial systems could be regulated and structured to achieve the twin goals of inclusive growth and financial stability.
