Using Technology to Benchmark the Pakistan Microfinance Industry

In response to a rapidly evolving microfinance sector in Pakistan, the Pakistan Microfinance Network (PMN) has developed two benchmarking software applications to provide information about its annual and quarterly publications and provide greater access to information for all stakeholders.

The Pakistan Microfinance Review (PMR) is an annual publication which tracks financial performance indicators for the Pakistani microfinance industry. In 2008, PMN developed the PMR software, which is free of cost, to facilitate accessibility and utilization of data.

MicroWATCH is a quarterly publication which tracks outreach indicators for the microfinance industry in Pakistan. This software provides geographical representation of outreach data for microcredit, microsavings, and micro-insurance. It also provides market highlights indicating market leaders in different categories and a query builder facility, which allows users to customize available data to their information needs.

Both the applications are accessible on the PMN website.
