MFI Sector up 51 Percent in 9 Months


20 November 2014

Cambodia’s microfinance sector continued to experience rapid growth as loan disbursements reached $1.79 billion over the first three quarters of 2014, a year-on-year increase of 51%.

Cambodia Microfinance Association covers loans issued by 45 microfinance institutions (MFIs), not including Acleda Bank. Last year, 39 institutions handed out $1.18 billion in loans over the same period. In a 2013 report by the Cambodia Institute of Development Study that analyzed the level of indebtedness in the MFI sector, 51% of borrowers surveyed said they had struggled to repay their loans on time.
