Abstract
This paper investigates the effect of financial inclusion on a firm's growth (889 firms) in the ASEAN-5 (Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam) countries using a cross-section threshold estimation technique. This paper showed a non-monotonic effect on financial inclusion-firm's growth nexus. The impact of financial inclusion on firm growth is significantly negative after a certain threshold point is reached. These findings suggest that the firm's owner and banking institutions should deepen their financial inclusion efforts and limit credit access distribution within the optimum value or threshold level.
