This high-level note, co-written by CGAP and the Office of the UNSGSA, introduces the framework of CGAP's working paper on Measuring Financial Health. It explains how measurement can support policy and supervision, suggests how to begin, and calls on authorities to establish a baseline within the next year—a starting point for tracking changes in financial health. The note helps authorities decide where to start; the working paper provides the framework, detailed indicators, and practical guidance to support implementation.
