What This Tool Does

Explore financial inclusion and banking data for any country in the world. Look up bank account ownership rates, credit access, gender gaps in financial services, stock market capitalization, and remittance flows. Compare how countries stack up on financial access, track progress toward universal banking, and identify where financial gaps remain — all from a comprehensive global data set.

Product Instructions

Financial Sector & Banking Data

Access comprehensive World Bank financial indicators including bank account ownership, credit access, financial inclusion metrics, stock market data, remittances, and mobile money adoption through a natural language query interface with gender gap analysis and global comparisons.

Overview

This tool provides natural language access to World Bank financial sector data covering financial inclusion (Global Findex), banking infrastructure, credit and lending rates, stock markets, remittances, and mobile money adoption. It supports automatic gender gap calculations, global average comparisons, and SDG alignment tracking (SDG 1, 5, 8.10, 10).

Data is sourced from the World Bank Data API including the Global Findex Database, Financial Sector Indicators, International Debt Statistics, and World Development Indicators.

Workflows

1. Financial Inclusion Assessment: Query financial_aspect: "inclusion" with calculate_gender_gaps: true to get account ownership rates, gender disparities, mobile money adoption, and financial access gaps
2. Banking Sector Analysis: Query financial_aspect: "banking" to assess bank branch density, ATM availability, and compare against global averages
3. Credit Market Research: Query financial_aspect: "credit" to analyze lending rates, domestic credit levels, and borrowing access
4. Remittance Economy Analysis: Query financial_aspect: "remittances" for countries with significant diaspora to understand remittance flows as percentage of GDP
5. SDG Progress Tracking: Query financial_aspect: "all" with include_targets: true to track progress toward Universal Financial Access 2030 targets

Notes

• Financial inclusion data (Global Findex) is updated every 3 years via surveys; most recent data is from 2021
• Banking infrastructure data is updated annually
• Stock market data is updated monthly/annually
• Gender-disaggregated data availability varies by country
• Mobile money data is particularly relevant for Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia
• Some indicators may not be available for all countries or time periods
• When time_period is "latest", the tool fetches the last 10 years and returns the most recent non-null value
• Global comparisons are automatically included for non-World queries when indicator data is available
• The tool fetches all requested indicators concurrently for performance
• If no data is available for any indicator, the response returns success: false with a message
• Country names longer than 100 characters are rejected
• Unrecognized country names raise a ValueError with guidance on accepted formats
• The summary section shows data availability percentage to help assess data completeness

Live Schema And Examples

Use the compact schema above for ordinary calls. Before a new production integration, or whenever parameters, enum values, nested objects, outputs, or examples are unclear, fetch live details first.

• Exact schema: call agentpmt-tool-search-and-execution with action: "get_schema", and tool_id: "financial-sector-banking".
• Detailed examples: call agentpmt-tool-search-and-execution with action: "get_instructions" and tool_id: "financial-sector-banking", or call this product with action: "get_instructions" when the product tool is already selected.
• Treat returned live schema and instructions as more specific than this generated summary.

MCP schema lookup through the main AgentPMT MCP server:

• If the response includes warnings or correction targets, apply them before retrying.
• If the response includes a passed or success-style boolean, use it as the workflow gate.
• If validation fails or the response shape is unclear, call get_schema or get_instructions before retrying.
• If query_financial_data fails, preserve the request parameters and retry only after fixing schema, auth, or payment errors.

Security

• Do not place account secrets, wallet private keys, mnemonics, signatures, or payment headers in prompts or logs.
• Keep tool inputs scoped to the minimum content needed for the task.
• Use the setup skills for credential handling; this product skill only defines product-specific behavior.
