Factors Affecting the Growth of the Micro Lending Industry:
Social Impact Investing and ESG Considerations:
The increasing focus on social impact investing and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations is creating a favorable outlook for the market. Investors and financial institutions are recognizing the positive social outcomes associated with micro-lending, such as poverty reduction, financial inclusion, and job creation. Additionally, several micro lenders are gaining access to additional funding sources, allowing them to expand their operations and reach underserved communities. Moreover, regulatory bodies and international organizations in several countries are encouraging micro-lenders to adopt responsible lending practices. This includes transparent interest rates, fair terms, and borrower education programs.
Technological Advancements:
Ongoing technological advancements in the micro lending industry are facilitating the market growth. In addition, the emergence of digital platforms and fintech solutions is streamlining the lending process, making it faster, more efficient, and cost-effective. Along with this, the increasing use of big data and alternative credit scoring models is allowing microlenders to assess creditworthiness by analyzing various data points, including payment history on utility bills or mobile phone usage. Moreover, mobile apps and online platforms are making it easier for borrowers to apply for loans and manage their repayments.
Government Support and Regulatory Framework:
The governing authorities of several countries are introducing policies and initiatives to support micro-lenders and borrowers. They are focusing on the establishment of dedicated agencies or programs focused on microfinance. These agencies often provide funding, technical assistance, and capacity-building support to micro-lending institutions. They are also collaborating with international organizations to access funding for on-lending to micro-lenders at favorable terms. Additionally, they are incentivizing commercial banks to engage in micro-lending by offering subsidies, tax incentives, or risk-sharing arrangements. This encourages traditional financial institutions to expand their micro-lending portfolios, reaching a broader customer base.
