The percentage of financial inclusion and the delivery of banking services to the widest spread of the geographical area at the level of governorates, districts and districts, and the increase in banking density in this direction.
* The need to complete the structural foundations and Technology for proactive control.
*Activate and reconsider the development of work mechanisms in the Deposit Insurance Company.
