Where is the microfinance industry headed? This essay reviews the available evidence and argues that both the public and private spheres are crucial to the continued dynamism and expansion of the microfinance industry: the private sector continuing as a source of product and process innovations; and the public sector taking on a strong market enabling and development role. |
