Commercialization of Microfinance Indonesia
Charitonenko, Stephanie; Afwan, Ismah | November 2003
Abstract
This report analyzes the progress toward commercialization of Indonesia’s highly diversified and predominantly formal microfinance industry. It also explores the implications of commercialization and the remaining challenges to expanding outreach through commercial microfinance institutions (MFIs) facing various types of stakeholders (including microfinance clients, microfinance practitioners, the Government, and funding agencies). In addition, it recommends positive approaches to the expansion of commercial microfinance while preserving the traditional social objective of MFIs of expanding access by the poor to demand-driven, sustainable financial services.
