摘要：This tenth edition of the MicroBanking Bulletin
represents a sea change in benchmarking analysis
for the microfinance industry. Over the past eight
years and nine data sets, the Bulletin has used performance
information on a pool of MFIs to answer
questions about retail microfinance. Its peer grouping
process and the increasing number and diversity
of MFIs participating in the Bulletin lent the data
project a more meaningful framework with which to
interpret MFI performance for a given year. What
factors drive productivity? How do savings mobilizers
perform? And how do large Latin American
MFIs differ in either of these areas from medium
size African institutions? The Bulletin could apply
its data set to seek answers to these and other
questions of MFI performance.
