description The question of whether state-led expansion of credit and savings facilities can reduce poverty has long been of interest to economists and policymakers. Credible evidence on whether state-led expansion of the banking sector can reduce poverty is limited. The central reason for this is the nonrandom nature of these programs. Specifically, banks favor opening branches in richer areas while state-led bank expansion programs tend to target poorer areas. How a large state-led branch expansion program in India affected rural poverty is evaluated.
