The Central Bank of the Republic of Kosovo (CBK) has launched a new data dashboard designed to enhance transparency and refine policymaking efforts within the financial inclusion sector, with a specific focus on advancing the economic empowerment of women. The publication of this tool marks a key effort to address a long-standing statistical gap concerning gender data within the nation’s financial industry. The implementation of this enhanced reporting structure began in January 2025.
This commitment was formalized through the revision of the Kosovo Credit Registry Reporting Manual, which received approval in June 2025. According to the CBK, the development of the dashboard and the accompanying manual revision were executed as part of the WE Fina initiative. The primary function of the new dashboard is to provide systematically disaggregated data.
By segmenting financial metrics along gender lines, the CBK aims to offer policymakers and stakeholders a granular view of financial participation. This level of detail is crucial for identifying specific areas where financial services may not be adequately reaching certain demographic groups. The integration of gender-disaggregated reporting into official registry practices signifies a structural shift toward evidence-based policy formulation.
By making this data publicly accessible, the CBK intends to support targeted interventions, thereby strengthening the framework for equitable economic development and greater financial inclusion across the population.
