This research is underlined by the existence of cooperative business activities which collect and distribute funds over its members, and also to its non-members. In order to avoid the violation of the provisions in Act No. 25 Year 1992 about Cooperatives, cooperative has established a microfinance institution (MFI) which called as Cooperative MFI. The establishment of microfinance institutions causes the legal consequences on several aspects because of the different regulations between Cooperative and MFI according Act No. 25 Year 1992 about Cooperatives and Act No.1 Year 2013 about Microfinan

The development of microfinance programs in Europe has increased due to the establishment of a large number of small businesses, increase in unemployment, high inflation rates and an impoverished population, which all constitute stimulating conditions of microfinance development. In addition, technological factors consisting of advances in information and communication technologies have contributed to the expansion of microfinance institution (MFI) activities among European citizens.

Abstract:
This paper examines the determinants of return on equity for microfinance institutions (MFI), an important source of funds for entrepreneurs in developing countries. Recent research indicates that MFIs need to become financially sustainable without relying on external funding. To meet this objective, MFIs have begun to look to the capital markets as a source of funds. Our findings indicate that investors in MFIs can look at measures similar to those used by traditional financial institutions, like commercial banks, such as operating expense and portfolio yield measures to measure possible perf

Crowdfunded microfinance research has routinely examined how campaign characteristics drive funding to crowdfunding campaigns but has neglected to examine the critical role of the microfinance institution (MFI).

Our examination of 220,649 loans paired 173 MFIs supports our arguments. We provide insight into the importance of third-party signals i

Microfinance programs play a vital role in poverty alleviation in developing countries; however, most microfinance institutions (MFIs) face the challenge of maintaining financial sustainability.

Commitment leads directly to cooperative behavior, vital for long-term mutually beneficial relationships. When a relationship is weak and not considered in economic transactions, causing a microfinance institution (MIF) to disregard a small business entrepreneur’s actions, economic agents (i.e., the MIF and the entrepreneur) will lose economic rents. On the other hand, when a relationship is strong, and an entrepreneur’s actions are observed, the resulting economic rents will be such that each party will be better off building a relationship than not building it.

Abstract:
The relevance of micro-lending in battling poverty and encouraging sustainability of the poor is more vividly seen after the emergence of Bangladesh-based Grameen Bank as a successful microfinance institution in 2006. Creating a sustainable microfinance institution largely depends on the two important factors; cost and risk. This paper examines the common risks and costs associated with micro lending, vis-à-vis the trade-off that results into higher costs the more risks are well managed, and higher risks the more costs are highly reduced. As the popular ‘group lending’ model is patronised by t

As the MFI industry matures, the necessity of dealing with foreign exchange risk becomes more urgent. Identifying possible solutions to foreign currency risk before they become a critical priority will give MFIs more options in the future.

Research Topic: Smallholder farmers are highly sensitive to climate change impacts and often have limited means of recovering from or adapting to these. In Rwanda, microfinance products directed at farmers, available through farming or financial cooperatives, have mainly comprised of loans of seed and fertiliser, aimed at increasing yield but not specifically at increasing climate resilience. This project investigated farmers’ experiences with climate change and mitigation; vulnerabilities and exclusions; reverberations of rural climate change impacts in the urban areas of Kigali; opportunitie

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.

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:
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) are organizations that provide small loans to borrowers who typically lack collateral, steady employment, or a verifiable credit history and therefore do not have access to traditional commercial banking. Blockchain technology could be used to create a more holistic view of the financial position of a potential borrower, which could result in better lending decisions. This study explores how blockchain technology has the potential to assist Microfinance Institutions in the water and sanitation sector through a pilot project developed in Peru. The improvements s

Specifically, this paper examines the pros and cons of the two major financing alternatives, loans and leases. The paper also provides a series of best practice recommendations for microfinance institutions (MFIs) to use in their equipment leasing and lending programs.
