| Summary: | This research is proposed to measure financial inclusion index in 2 dimensions (2D-FII) in Indonesia Islamic banks. This research contributes on the measurement 2D-FII in regional level in Indonesia. The result shows that value of FII in Islamic banking in Indonesia is still low. Previous works show one of the determinant on increasing inequality in any country is a limited access to financial sector, especially for low income household (Akimov, Wijeweera, and Dollery 2006; Kenourgios and Samitas 2007; Levine 2003; D. Park and Shin 2015). In other words, low level of FII in Indonesia perhaps is caused by inequality of income. Therefore, this research recommends policymaker to have more concern on poverty alleviation program and open new Islamic banks branches in the regional level. |
