Cross-Border Funding for Microfinance
Latin America and the Caribbean
Results of the CGAP Cross-border Funding Surveys 2010
About the surveys
The CGAP surveys focus on cross-border funding for microfinance.
Over 150 institutions and funds have participated in CGAP’s 2010 surveys on microfinance funding, representing 85 to 95% of the total estimated cross-border funding to microfinance.
CGAP collects data from major funders (bilateral and multilateral agencies, development finance institutions, foundations) and from microfinance investment intermediaries (MIIs) such as Microfinance Investment Vehicles (MIVs) and holdings.
All data is as of December 2009.

Method and Definitions
• Method: Figures are based on data reported by 61 funders and 90 microfinance investment intermediaries. CGAP used data provided by microfinance investment intermediaries to estimate funding from individual investors and institutional investors. All data is as of December 2009. Growth rates are based on a subset of respondents for which data is available for all years covered by the surveys. Country breakdowns are based on funding for which country allocation is available.
***
• Cross-border funding for microfinance: Like other development sectors, microfinance receives funding from public and private funders in developed countries. Depending on local capital markets and the regulatory environment, microfinance institutions in developing countries can also access local funding sources, such as client deposits or loans from local commercial banks. The CGAP surveys focus exclusively on foreign, or cross-border, funding for microfinance.
• Commitments: A common way to measure funding for microfinance is to look at funders’ commitments. Total commitments represent the total amount of all currently active investments and projects, whether the funds have been disbursed or are yet to be disbursed during the remaining lifetime of a project. As such, total commitments describe the stock of funds set aside for microfinance at a given time (i.e. December 2009 for the data above). To understand the actual flow of money to the microfinance sector, it is also necessary to look at annual disbursements.
• Microfinance Investment Intermediaries: Microfinance Investment Intermediaries (MIIs) are investment entities that have microfinance as one of their core investment objectives and mandates. MIIs can provide debt, equity or guarantees (directly or indirectly) to microfinance service providers. The main types of MIIs are Microfinance Investment Vehicles (MIVs), Holding Companies and others such as peer-to-peer lending platforms.
