Abstract
This study investigates the impact of financial inclusion and corruption control on inclusive growth in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Employing the generalized method of moments (GMM) and fixed-effect techniques, the research finds that financial inclusion and corruption control significantly contribute to inclusive growth in the region. The results also reveal that trade openness is positively associated with inclusivity, while the impact of remittances is negative. The study recommends prioritizing initiatives aimed at enhancing access to formal financial services across diverse segments of the population. Likewise, it underscores the critical importance of implementing robust anti-corruption measures to create an environment that fosters inclusive economic development.
