MIX and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) present the first set of rankings of Asian microfinance institutions (MFIs) – the 2007 MIX Asia 100. The report draws on year 2006 outreach and financial performance results of 392 MFIs across 23 countries to highlight the achievements of the microfinance industry within the region. Asian microfinance has long been touted for its extensive outreach to the poor, but a number of questions remain on the performance of MFIs across the region.
What is the range of performance for leading institutions? How deep is the sector in each sub-region and what are the major intra-regional differences and similarities? Where do regional strengths (and weaknesses) lie? Which types of institutions are strongest along which dimensions of performance? By taking a look at individual institutional performance, using a sample that is both broad and deep, MIX and ADB provide the framework in which to answer these important questions.
