Financial Inclusion Annual Monitoring Report 2022 : Results from a Survey of Adults in Great Britain

This briefing paper reports the findings of a specially commissioned survey developed to supplement the tenth Financial Inclusion Monitor, published on the 6 December 2022. In order to gather up-to-date information on how people were managing financially, their experiences over the previous year and their views on various potential policy responses, we commissioned Ipsos to include questions on a telephone omnibus survey.
