Abstract:
Because of the inherent computational complexity, mining the complete frequent item-set in dense datasets remains to be a challenging task. Mining Maximal Frequent Item-set (MFI) is an alternative to address the problem. Set-Enumeration Tree (SET) is a common data structure used in several MFI mining algorithms. For this kind of algorithm, the process of mining MFI's can also be viewed as the process of searching in set-enumeration tree. To reduce the search space, in this paper, a new algorithm, Index-MaxMiner, for mining MFI is proposed by employing a hybrid search strategy blending breadth-

The objective of this study is to determine the effect of internal and external governance mechanisms on the sustainability of the microfinance institutions of the CamCCul network in Cameroon. The study is conducted on a sample of 34 MFIs of the network over the 7-year period from 2009 to 2015. The results show, on the one hand, that the MFI's adherence to the network’s Risk Management program significantly and positively affects the financial sustainability of MIFs measured by their operational self-sufficiency. On the other hand, we find that the ownership of UBC Bank shares by the MFI and t

Abstract:
Microfinance institutions, through the availability of credit to low-income households, create opportunities for self-employment, facilitate the expansion of existing businesses, and positively impact their welfare levels. Many researchers support the view that access to microfinance loans considerably increases household consumption expenditure, while others argue that it has minimal or no impact on average household consumption levels. An attempt has been made in the present paper to study the impact of microfinance on the welfare of households in the context of MFIs in Delhi. The welfare is

Abstract:
Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) offer loans to impoverished individuals for small enterprise investments and consumption expenses. Investment-oriented loans can create jobs and income for poor households while ensuring high repayment rates for MFIs. However, studies suggest that microloans are often too small for effective investment, failing to improve living standards significantly in the long term. This study evaluates the sufficiency, utilization patterns, and repayment trends of MFI loans. Using primary data from 104 households in Delhi slums collected in 2016, the descriptive analysis r

An enduring problem facing microfinance institutions is how to attain financial sustainability. Several studies have been conducted to determine the factors affecting financial sustainability of microfinance institutions using large and well developed MFIs in various countries. However, no such study has been conducted in rural Tanzania where majority of MFIs are small, most of which are member-based (cooperatives). Consequently, the factors affecting their financial sustainability are not known. This study, therefore, was set to bridge this knowledge gap. This study followed a quantitative re

Abstract:
This paper discusses microfinance institutions (MFIs) in the Caribbean. It argues that the reason they have lagged is fundamentally explained by factors internal to the MFIs, rather than external to them. The paper introduces four Caribbean MFIs, two with track records of low loan delinquency rates and two with track records of high loan delinquency rates, and analyzes their lending methodology. The paper concludes that Caribbean MFIs can become profitable, successful financial institutions by making changes to their internal policies and procedures. This is a very empowering conclusion, for i

Abstract:
Microfinance institutions (MFIs) have been successful in providing credit to millions of low-income borrowers in groups previously excluded from formal financial services, but they often charge interest rates that many claim are excessive. We examine microfinance interest rates and their determinants in order to understand how these rates might be lowered. Using high-quality financial data from 29 institutions in seven countries over a period of four years, and drawing on information from field visits with clients, we explore patterns of cost and efficiency in MFIs. We find that improved opera

Abstract:
The central objectives of this study were to establish the main experiences of microfinance institutions (MFIs), and their clients, in the Caribbean islands of Barbados and Dominica. Implicit in these objectives was an attempt to identify what procedures were working and which were not in order to offer recommendations for the restructuring of the MFI sector in the Caribbean, and the creation of new, efficient MFIs. The MFIs included in the study were: Barbados Youth Business Trust (BYBT), a private sector initiative that provides loans to both start-up and existing businesses operated by yout

Abstract:
Funded by MIF, CAF and Calmeadow, this MicroRate report provides a snapshot of how the impact of the global financial crisis evolved during the last quarter of 2008. The study combines data and interviews from 52 microfinance institutions (MFIs) and 23 microfinance investment vehicles (MIVs). The report concludes that microfinance will be more affected by this economic cycle than in the past because MFIs are today more tightly integrated into the global economy. The report also includes a synopsis of potential roles for microfinance stakeholders and actions to be taken in 2009.
