The ability of MFI's to formulate and adhere to policies and a procedure that promotes credit quality and curtails non-performing loans is the means to survive in the stiff competition. Inability to create and build up quality loans and creditworthy customers lead to default risk and bankruptcy as well as hampers economic growth of a country. This study of credit screening– A Case Study on Microfinance Institution in South West Ethiopia, Jimma Town is an attempt to indicate the criteria that MFI’s should take in credit screening. Thus, the rationale behind for undertaking this study is to deeply examine and screen the credit criteria and to suggest the possible solutions that enable the MFI’s to run its operation most safely as credit is known to be the mainstay of all MFI. For the study, both primary and secondary data were used. Primary data was collected using structured questionnaires and in-depth- interview and Qualitative approach were adopted. Hence, the nature of the study is descriptive and it is related to qualitative analysis method. The census or total universe inquiry method was applied since the study is the easily manageable and the total number of population in the MFI was less than 30. Finally, based on the findings possible recommendations were given. These include the issues impeding loan growth and rising loan clients complaint on the MFI regarding the valuing of feature offered for collateral, lengthy of loan processing, amount of loan processed and approved, loan period as well as the amount, and discretionary limits are currently affecting the performance of credit screening and management.

The Impact

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of microfinance on financial inclusion and business growth in Igembe South District Kenya.Methodology: Descriptive research was used in discovering the research objectives. The research targeted the micro, small and medium sized businesses operating in Maua town (Igembe south District), 2181 of which were registered and licensed. A sample of 280 businesses (12.84% of the population) participated in the study.Results: This study revealed that microfinance institutions played a major role in improving financial inclusion among the small business owners who previous research has shown that they have been traditionally excluded from the formal banking systems. 78% of the respondents had access to the micro finance services while 60% had active microcredit in the preceding 12 months. It was clear that the microfinance institutions were cultivating the culture of saving among the micro entrepreneurs. However, most of the new businesses specifically those less than one year of age minimally benefitted from the micro finance services. It was also noted that default risk among the small businesses remains to be a challenge that micro credit lenders have to overcome for continued services provision. Working capital requirement was the leading reason for borrowing from micro finance institutions by the businesses.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study found that there was a good complementation between the existing micro finance institutions and the public entrepreneurial programs initiated by the government of Kenya such as Youth Entrepreneurs Development Fund, Women Enterprise Fund, Uwezo Fund and other County governments initiatives. The study recommended that the microfinance institutions should also be included in the distribution channel of these public funds for stronger linkage with the target groups. The MFIs should also utilize Credit Reference Bureau services to reduce the problem of default.

PurposeThis paper examines whether board structure affects microfinance institutions' (MFIs) default risk in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).Design/methodology/approachThe paper uses a pooled OLS and system generalized method of moments (GMM) model on unbalanced panel data from 214 MFIs in 26 SSA countries over 2005–2016 period. Default risk is measured using non-performing loans (loans overdue 30 and 90 days) and loans written-off ratios. Board size, proportion of independent and female directors are used as proxies for board structure.FindingsThe empirical results indicate that unregulated MFIs with larger and more independent boards tend to have a lower default risk. In addition, unregulated MFIs with a female director tend to lower default risk.Research limitations/implicationsThis research mainly focusses on SSA. Future research may consider a broader geographical area.Practical implicationsPoor loan portfolio quality is one of the major problems of MFIs operating in SSA. The findings of this study will contribute in emphasizing the role of an effective board structure in lowering MFI default risk.Originality/valueThis study is unique in terms of investigating whether board structure impacts default risk based on MFI regulation.

Managing Risk

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide an insurance framework to address the challenge of managing default risk for lenders providing credit to small and micro businesses. Design/methodology/approach A theoretical model is developed showing how mircrofinance lenders can better manage the default risks of small and micro businesses, which assists lenders in sustainably providing affordable microfinance. Findings The model explains how to determine the feasible range of insurance premiums to advise lenders on the appropriate price for microinsurance protecting against small and micro business default. This will enable microfinance institutions to better manage default risk, and thereby provide sustainable and accessible microfinance assistance to small and micro businesses. Social implications The need for microfinance is essential to support small and micro businesses. The insurance framework assists financial institutions in managing default risk of small and micro businesses, enhancing sustainability of these critical financing channels, and supporting the economic development of society in both the developed and developing worlds. The insurance framework proposed will help both policymakers and financial institutions to make better economic decisions, thereby serving small and micro businesses. Originality/value This is the first study in the area of microfinance to propose a way to solve the challenge of providing sustainable mircrofinance services and mitigating small and micro businesses’ difficulty in receiving the financial help they need.

Loan Defaults

The objective of this research is to identify the risk factors that influence loan defaults by customers in the microfinance sector and to develop a model that links these factors to credit default by customers in the sector. Data from a microfinance institution based in Accra Ghana was used. A binomial logistic regression analysis was fitted to a data of 548 customers who were granted credit from January 2013 to December 2014. The results of the study revealed that six factors: X3 (Marital Status); X7 (Dependents); X11 (Type of Collateral or Security); X13(Assessment); X15 (Duration); and X16 (Loan Type) were statistically significant in the prediction of loan default payment with a predicted default rate of 86.67%. It is therefore suggested that microfinance institutions adopt among others, the default risk model to ascertain the level of risk since it’s relatively efficient and cost effective. There should also be up to date training for loan officers of microfinance institutions in order to improve on their assessment skills and methodology. The supervising body of microfinance institutions (Bank of Ghana) should also consider enacting laws that will ensure that all such institutions in Ghana are roped into centralized database to check multiple borrowing and also serve as an internal control measure for the sustainability of these institutions.

Crisis Recovery

The article looks into the spillover effect of the sweeping overhaul of financial regulation, also known as Basel III, for credit institutions. We found that new standards of capital adequacy will inevitably put downward pressure on ROE that in turn will further diminish post-crisis recovery of the banking industry. Under these circumstances, resilience of systemically important banks could be maintained through cost optimization, repricing, and return to homogeneity of their operating models, while application of macroprudential regulation by embedding it into new regulatory paradigm would minimize the effect of risk multiplication at micro level. Based on the research we develop recommendations for financial regulatory reform in Russia and for shaping integrated banking regulation in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).
