Date: 
Oct 25, 2007

The Championship League ranking was produced by MIX for publication in the Inter-American Development Bank’s magazine Microenterprise Americas. The article ranks Latin American and Caribbean microfinance institutions based on performance in 2005 in seven categories including scale, efficiency, and profitability.

Drawing on a survey of nearly 130 MFIs, the MIX uses the latest data reported by auditors, regulatory agencies and other sources at year-end 2005 in seven different areas. Taken as a group, these 100 institutions managed US$6.6 billion in more than 6 million loans to microentrepreneurs and low-income clients in 15 countries across the region.
