Event Details

Many of the positive influences of the microfinance sector are mainly seen in the rural areas, hard hit by the ongoing global crises. In Myanmar, the microfinance sector largely provides positive contributions to the agriculture sector, a major sector that contributes significantly to the country's GDP.


With the disruption caused by COVID, changes in the political environment, and the implications of global economic volatility, the value chain across the microfinancing system for many small and medium entrepreneurs, mostly from rural areas, has been hard hit. One main example to highlight is the reduction of people's income, which leads to a reliance on obtaining credit, or loans from microfinance firms, as alternative source of funds. However, challenges are evident for the microfinance institutions, experiencing a shortfall in funding support to the sector during the crisis period due to heightened risks associated with return on assets.


At this fourth panel discussion of the MPE&VCA webinar series "Leading through Crises", we will explore how a few of the leading the microfinance institutions in the country are responding to the effects of the crises, how they are contributing still to serving and supporting the impoverished, their strategies, and how they are overcoming the headwinds.
