Microfinance Institutions Network (MFIN), the microfinance industry association and an RBI recognised self-regulatory organisation, has released the 44th issue of its Micrometer report for the financial year ending December 31, 2022 i.e., Q3 FY 22-23 quarter.
Dr Alok Misra, CEO and director, MFIN said, “In Q3 FY 22-23 microfinance industry reached Rs 3,20,584 Cr – a growth of 25.2% on a YoY basis. By end of this quarter, NBFC-MFIs have emerged as the largest provider of microfinance services followed by Banks, who were the largest providers until the last quarter. It is an encouraging sign that all regulated entities have registered healthy growth on a YoY basis during Q3 FY 22-23.”
Further, Bihar has emerged as the state with the largest microfinance portfolio. Increasing outreach of microfinance in states like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh should be seen as an endeavour of REs to provide access to finance in under-reached markets with high potential demand.
The regulatory and policy environment remains conducive and the momentum which the industry has gained over the past one year is favourable. The Udyam Assist Platform of SIDBI will provide further boost to the sector by mainstreaming informal micro-enterprises that are supported & financed by MFIs, Misra said.
