"in sub-Saharan Africa, only 37 percent of women have a bank account, compared with 48 percent of men, a gap that has only widened over the past several years. The figures are even worse in North Africa, where about two-thirds of the adult population remains unbanked and the gender gap for access to finance is 18 percent, the largest in the world...With greater access to finance working capital, many African women entrepreneurs will see their businesses blossom, paving a road toward a better future for everyone."
