This data set is the first to reflect the impact of the global economic slowdown on microfinance institutions.
The 2008 MFI Benchmarks covers financial and performance data from nearly 1100 microfinance institutions (MFIs) throughout the developing world.
MIX produces MFI Benchmarks annually using a peer group framework that draws on the full data set of MFIs who have voluntarily contributed data. The benchmarks are median values. For more about the methodology, please click here:
