MICROCAPITAL BRIEF: Microfinance Information Exchange Updates Online Funding Structure Database

The US-based nonprofit Microfinance Information Exchange (MIX) has updated its database on the debt owed by microfinance institutions (MFIs) to include 2011 data from 700 MFIs. The data shows that the Latin America and the Caribbean region received USD 7 billion in debt financing. This accounted for 45 percent of all debt financing studied, which was the largest portion among the eight regions studied.

The data is differentiated among the following eight geographic regions: Africa, East Asia and the Pacific, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa, Oceania, South Asia and Western Europe.
