The analysis dissects and compares Azerbaijan microfinance performance measures and their drivers in a global and regional context.
The Azerbaijan Benchmarking Trends Report 2004-2005 explores performance changes in the microfinance sector of Azerbaijan from 2004 - 2005. Although the accelerated growth has necessitated expansion into new regions, management has maintained efficiency and increased profitability. The flow of investor and donor funds to MFIs in Azerbaijan has also increased, supported by the high level of transparency within the sector and demonstrated most strongly by several MFIs which have carried out external rating evaluations.
