The survey was administered via phone calls, where respondents were identified through a random sampling of individuals aged 18-59 registered with UNHCR, and have updated their contact numbers with UNHCR in the last 6 months.\n\nA majority of respondents are able to confidently make calculations and transact with money without errors. As a result of regulatory challenges, only 35.8% of respondents owned SIM cards registered under their own names. 89% of respondents own a smartphone, with the most frequently used mobile apps being Whatsapp, followed by Facebook, Youtube, imo and TikTok. While respondents seem to understand the value of financial services, only 11% actually own an account at a financial institutions due to regulatory barriers. A majority of respondents also rely on informal services for sending or receiving money either locally (within Malaysia) or internationally. In addition to this, 84.9% reported not having any savings whatsoever, which indicates respondents' limited resilience capacities to withstand sudden shocks or stressors.","geog_coverage":"National","analysis_unit":"Households and Individual","universe":"Registered Refugees and asylum-seekers in Malaysia 2022","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","nation":[{"name":"Malaysia","abbreviation":"MYS"}],"topics":[{"topic":"Protection"},{"topic":"Livelihood and Social cohesion"},{"topic":"Domestic Needs\/Household Support"},{"topic":"Connectivity"}],"coll_dates":[{"start":"2023-01-28","end":"2023-02-10"}]},"method":{"data_collection":{"sampling_procedure":"Simple Random Sampling","coll_mode":["Computer Assisted Telephone Interview [cati]"]}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"cit_req":"UNHCR (2023).
