  • Informal Finance in Sierra Leone: Why and How It Fits Into the Financial System
    Informal finance in Sierra Leone: Why and how it fits into the financial system By Ilara Mahdi May 2018 Abstract: This paper investigates why in Sierra Leone the informal financial sector continues to exist alongside the formal financial system, despite the implementation of financial sector reforms. One of the main policy objectives of the expansion of formal finance in developing countries is to curtail the use of informal finance because of the associated downsides of its use. However, a number of studies have found that large informal financial sectors still exists in sub-Saharan African economies. Cognisant of the existing theories of informal finance, this paper seeks to examine the context specific reasons for the continued relevance and use of informal finance in Sierra Leone. The paper finds a number of factors account for the prevalence of informal finance in Sierra Leone including; historical and social factors, external factors beyond policymakers‟ control, and problems with government and donor efforts to promote rural banking and the expansion of the microfinance sector. Perhaps most thought-provoking is that a degree of interdependence exists between formal and informal finance-they both feed off each other. A finding which has implications for policies aimed at curbing the use of informal finance. Key words: informal finance, formal finance, financial system, financial sector reforms, Sierra Leone JEL classification: O17, G21, G23, O55 1 Introduction This paper examines why and how informal finance fits into the financial system of Sierra Leone. The subject matter of this paper follows on from a body of literature that emerged in the late 1990s relating to sub-Saharan African (SSA) economies specifically to Ghana, Nigeria, Malawi, and Tanzania on the impact of liberalisation reforms on the financial sectors of these economies.
