Summary |
This volume, Microfinance Handbook: An Institutional and Financial Perspective, represents in a way a culmination SBP work in pursuit of its principal aim. A comprehensive source for donors, policymakers, and practitioners, the handbook first covers the policy, legal, and regulatory issues relevant to microfinance development and subsequently treats rigorously and in depth the key elements in the process of building sustainable financial institutions with effective outreach to the poor.
The handbook focuses on the institutional and financial aspects of microfinance. Although impact analysis is reviewed briefly, a thorough discussion of poverty targeting and of the poverty alleviation effects of microfinance is left to other studies and publications.
