The indicators in the Global Findex 2021 database are drawn from survey data covering almost 145,000 people
in 139 economies, representing 97 percent of the world’s population (see table A.1 for a list of the economies
included). The survey was carried out over the 2021 and 2022 calendar years by Gallup, Inc., as part of its Gallup
World Poll, which since 2005 has annually conducted surveys of approximately 1,000 people in each of more than
160 economies and in over 150 languages, using randomly selected, nationally representative samples. The
target population is the entire civilian, noninstitutionalized population age 15 and up.
