The nonprofit Microfinance Information Exchange (MIX) recently released the 2009 benchmarking report on the microfinance sector in Brazil, available in Spanish. The report, based on data collected from 27 Brazilian microfinance institutions (MFIs) and benchmarks compiled from the data of 332 Latin American MFIs, examines outreach, funding structure, financial performance and portfolio quality of the microfinance market in Brazil.

The report was produced by MIX with support from Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV), a Brazilian institution for higher education.
