It’s now a tradition that the European Microfinance Week opens with a plenary session featuring the finalists of the European Microfinance Award, the €100,000 prize awarded by the Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs. This year on the topic of “Financial Inclusion through Technology”, the Award aims to highlight how financial services providers (FSPs) can use technology innovations to expand outreach, broaden product offerings, improve the client experience, and increase operating efficiency, all guided by an unwavering focus on socially responsible finance. In a lively discussion together with sector experts, the 3 finalists of the €100,000 European Microfinance Award present their initiatives, discuss on the main challenges faced by their institutions when going digital and reflect on the (r)evolution the inclusive finance sector is going through thanks to financial technologies.

The primary objective of this conference is to unveil the performance and achievements of the microfinance sector in the last 20 years and the crucial role it plays in financial inclusion, poverty reduction and sustainable development of local communities and the country overall. The conference will also bring into light the current flood crisis in Pakistan that has affected millions of people. According to some estimates, 1 in 7 people in Pakistan have been affected by the historic disaster. All four provinces have been badly affected, killing more than 1200 people, with Baluchistan and Sindh being the hardest hit areas. Millions of people need emergency food and humanitarian assistance. The main topics for the conference are: - Low-cost housing - Policy and regulatory challenges - Digital Finance & the FinTech Eco-System - Financial Inclusion, especially of marginalized communities - ESG / Climate Change & Disaster Risk Facility for the Microfinance Sector - Inclusive Insurance

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the impact of credit risk-taking on financial and social-efficiency and examine the relationship between credit risk, capital structure and efficiency in the context of IMFIs. The stochastic-frontier approach was used to estimate the financial and social efficiency scores, in a first step. In a second step, the impact of risk-taking on efficiency was evaluated. The overall average efficiency-scores are less than 50%, where CMFIs could have produced their outputs using 48% of their actual inputs. IMFIs record the lowest financial (cost) efficiency that is equal to 28% on average.

What can the impact investing community learn from the successes and failures of one of the industry’s precursors, microfinance? In this panel, early microfinance practitioners will use the benefit of decades of data and experience to provide insight into the current state of impact investing. The discussion will cover best practices as well as potential pitfalls, and examine the risks of the current status quo.

The last two years of the pandemic have been challenging for the microfinance industry - with repayment delays, funding issues, staff cuts and more. However in the face of this adversity, the sector has shown great resilience in recovery, through pivots, creative product innovations, and new strategies. Watch Tim Ogden's Keynote Address at the Microfinance Center (MFC)'s #SFV2021 Conference, where he discusses how the sector continues to recover through Covid-19, the importance of MFIs in serving low-income households, the products that help households manage liquidity, investments and risk, and the role of digitization.

Pakistan’s microfinance sector faces a crisis unlike anything it has experienced before. The COVID-19 pandemic threatens 7.3 million low-income Pakistani households that rely on microfinance institutions for access to capital and other financial services. Economists Muhammad Meki, Farah Said, and coauthors in Pakistan, surveyed 1,000 microfinance clients in Punjab, Sindh, and Kashmir regions one week after the country’s lockdown began. This webinar presents results from the survey, as well as interviews with the microfinance institutions that serve these clients, for a detailed picture of the impact of Pakistan’s lockdown on households and the industry overall. As Pakistan now moves to reopen the economy, the following questions arise: - How will borrowers fare and how will microfinance institutions recover? - How does the experience of Pakistan’s microfinance sector compare to other countries? - What lessons can we learn from Pakistan's experience?
