Book Synopsis Social Purpose, Commercialization, and Innovations in Microfinance by : Md Aslam Mia
Download or read book Social Purpose, Commercialization, and Innovations in Microfinance written by Md Aslam Mia and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-07 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses three key aspects of microfinancing, namely social purpose, commercialization and innovations and examines, through a global perspective, how these aspects helped and diverted microfinance institutions towards the attainment of their dual goals over the last twenty years. Since microfinance remains informal in nature for most economies, not all financial innovations are suitable for its needs. Hence, the arguments in the book put forth an important challenge to the advocates of innovations and subsequently highlight why MFIs should be cautious when integrating innovations to ensure its original promise. The book is based on empirical analysis by utilising the latest and global microfinance market data, rather than focusing on a specific region. Thus, the book bridges a gap in knowledge by unravelling detail of the social purpose, commercialization and innovations within the field of microfinance and will be a valuable resource for those exploring the dynamics of innovations in microfinance.
Book Synopsis Commercial Microfinance by : Dinuja Perera
Download or read book Commercial Microfinance written by Dinuja Perera and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The microfinance sector in Sri Lanka suffers from the core problem of poor quality of microfinance services offered, indicated by insufficient outreach, poor repayment rates, low cost efficiency, recurring losses, financial products which are not client driven and significant deficiencies in regulation and supervision. This seriously threatens the sustainability of the offered financial services and their outreach to poorer households, micro and small entrepreneurs. In early days, financial exclusion; the provision of financial services to those excluded from the formal financial system was a hint of potential breadth of micro financial services which was an expanding focus for microfinance institutions. However, “Commercial Microfinance,” where microfinance services are provided by commercial organizations that are part of the formal financial system has received increasing attention in today's financial market. Therefore, this study explores “downscaling” by banks as a model of microfinance commercialization that has used as a strategy to reach the poor. In order to answer the main research question, an explorative case study methodology was chosen, based by a microfinance programme of a well established commercial bank in Sri Lanka, the “Hatton National Bank.” This study was based on commercialization debate areas; trade-off between sustainability and outreach, financial performances and impact on clients. The findings reveal that commercialization of microfinance gives rise to a trade-off between sustainability and outreach. However, protection against regulations, physical infrastructure, better know-how, greater access to funds, and enhanced capacity, make commercial banks the most qualified to meet the untapped demand of micro entrepreneurs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hatton National Bank is the largest private commercial bank in Sri Lanka and one of the handful of commercial banks in the world that have initiated microfinance programs. The bank launched its program in 1989 as an integral part of its operations, motivated by two business objectives. First, the program aims to protect the bank s market share from state-owned rural banks and nonbank microfinance institutions such as credit cooperatives, especially in rural and semiurban areas, where more than 75 percent of the country s population lives. Second, the program is an investment in the future: it targets microfinance clients with the potential to grow into small enterprises in the formal sector. This Note profiles Hatton National Bank's microfinance operations, highlighting two questions: How does a privately owned bank downscale part of its operations for microfinance? Is microfinance consistent with profit orientation?

Book Synopsis Sustainability and Poverty Outreach in Microfinance: the Sri Lankan Experience by : H Amarathunga
Download or read book Sustainability and Poverty Outreach in Microfinance: the Sri Lankan Experience written by H Amarathunga and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2019-08-19 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fulfillment of the role of microfinance institutions (MFIs) in providing affordable financial services to the poor is associated with invariable challenges to MFIs, particularly in maintaining MFIs’ sustainability. The research work undertaken in this context to prepare author’s doctoral thesis has finally culminated in a book, which has comprehensively dealt with the subject of sustainability versus poverty outreach in microfinance. Overall, the results of panel data analysis confirm that there is no trade-off between sustainability and poverty outreach of MFIs. Thus, MFIs are in a position to achieve operational self-sufficiency while expanding services to the poor. Further, it is evident from logit analysis that group lending as against individual lending is strategically important for MFIs to achieve sustainability, successfully warding off the problems of asymmetric information prevailing in the rural credit markets. The book carries a detailed description on Sri Lanka’s financial sector and poverty aspects with special emphasis on microfinance sector which comprises of more than 15000 service providers under a variety of institutions with different mandates and business models. Policy discussion along with the findings of econometric analyses provides the reader with new insights especially in the absence of any other macro-level studies carried out to cover microfinance sector in Sri Lanka.
