Abstract: Finance is the core of modern economy, and inclusive finance is important for building a moderately prosperous society. Sichuan province issued Plan for Advancing the Development of Inclusive Finance (2016-2020). Thus, measuring the development of inclusive finance of Sichuan province has become an urgent issue. This paper builds an inclusive finance development measuring system based on the availability, application depth and digitlization of financial services. The system mainly uses coefficient of variation method to measure inclusive financial index of different regions in Sichuan province. The results show that the overall level of inclusive finance in Sichuan province is growing but with uneven development. The paper suggests narrowing the gaps among cities and prefectures and helping even development of inclusive finance within Sichuan province through carrying out differentiated policies,strengthening the construction of digital inclusive finance and creating an inclusive finance-friendly environment.

Key words: inclusive finance, moderately prosperous society, coefficient of variation method, Sichuan province, digital finance
