Reviewing growth, outreach and financial performance of Indian microfinance

This paper presents the summary version of the M-CRIL Microfinance Review 2009 that analyzes the performance of Indian microfinance from 2002 to 2009.

Microfinance growth continued to be strong in 2008-2009. Study findings indicate that:

  • Significant relative shift is seen in regional concentration of MFI clients from the south and north to the east;
  • Private equity and MIV investment has fuelled dramatic portfolio growth;
  • Indian microfinance continues to perform well in terms of operational efficiency and staff productivity;
  • Yield has increased significantly widening the margin;
  • Substantial improvement is seen in the portfolio quality;
  • Return on assets has improved significantly.

Finally, the paper states that while performance has continued to improve, MFIs need to refocus on client interests rather than purely financial gain in order to become an instrument of financial and social inclusion.
