About the product

Postal savings systems in Asian developing countries play a significant role in social and economic development. In many of these countries postal savings and giro remittances are the only means of providing financial services to all segments of the population, particularly women, rural communities, and the urban poor. This book examines the postal financial systems of some twenty countries visited by the author, and also includes case studies by expert authors from different developing nations.
