The Financial Resilience measure includes 2 items from the 2017 Global Findex Questionnaire. The items ask respondents about their ability to make payments in emergency situations. The 2017 Global Findex Questionnaire is a multi-country survey developed by the World Bank, which aims to capture the condition of financial inclusion globally. Navigational aspects (i.e. skip-out patterns and next question sequences) have not been included on this page but can be viewed on the original questionnaire located here.
