HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE 2009 MFI BENCHMARKS:

1. Global growth continued its slow down from nearly 25% in 2007 to 6% growth in borrowers in 2009, with the most dramatic drop in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, where the median MFI’s pool of borrowers actually contracted by 1.5%.

2. Rising portfolio risk contributed to this shift in growth, with the median portfolio at risk > 30 days increasing by one or more percentage points over 2008. Only the Middle East and North Africa region saw an improvement in portfolio quality after the sharp rise in delinquency in Morocco in 2008.

3. After declining rapidly in 2008, returns leveled off in 2009.
