Quality of coverage

• SBLP shows signs of deepening

• Savings growth vigorous in SBLP

• MFIs cover 234 out of 331 poor districts

• 80% SHGs and 93% clients of MFIs were women

• Increase in average loan size: Rs 5200 in MFIs, 4500 in SHGs

• More micro-insurance products available

Page 9: State of the Sector  Microfinance India 2009

Quality of coverage

• Poor are not clients of choice

• Interest rates remain high even when costs decline

• Expansion and profits prioritised over consolidation and customer comfort

• Not much diversification in products

• Institutional sustainability comes first

Page 10: State of the Sector  Microfinance India 2009

Positive developments• More mainstream funds flowed in to MFIs–

despite meltdown

• Bank loans to SHGs increased by Rs 74 billion -

• Equity flows continue to be strong – tier II MFIs able to get equity investments

• More professionals attracted to MF sector

• New generation MFIs have good business models

Page 11: State of the Sector  Microfinance India 2009

Not–so–positive developments• Competition impairs quality and discipline

• Multiple lending erodes customer protection

• Some states either combative or apathetic

• Transformation takes a long time

• Training arrangements deficient in quality and capacity

Page 12: State of the Sector  Microfinance India 2009

K2 lessons• Mf can result in over-indebtedness• Space for entry of external actors provided by

negligence of MFIs• Competition affects customers – not only MFIs• Relook in to products and processes necessary• Being near the customer is not the same as

understanding the customer• Staff incentives to be redesigned• Internal controls to be strengthened• Customer protection mechanisms needed

Page 13: State of the Sector  Microfinance India 2009

Policy environment• More developments in inclusion

• MF bill to be introduced in winter session

• Two working groups of RBI have made positive recommendations on inclusion

• BC guidelines set to undergo radical change?

• Policy yet to recognise role of MFIs, SHGs, Cooperatives and Post office in inclusion

Page 14: State of the Sector  Microfinance India 2009

Future…• Deepening of MF is critical – customers to

be focus

• Fair practice code for competition needed

• Introduction of lenders liability code and customer protection measures imperative

• Last resort refinance facility for tier II and III MFIs

• MF bill needs significant modifications

• Inclusion to move beyond superficiality

• Clarity on Rural finance architecture ?
