Who is our customer
Microfinance Opportunities (MFO) is a global non-profit organization committed to understanding the financial realities of low-income households and developing consumer-focused solutions.
What is our funding objective?
This project is proposed to measure this increasing stress at a household level so that action can be taken to reduce this before a crisis hits at both the household and sector level. FMO has asked Microfinance Opportunities (MFO) to research and create market intelligence on over indebtedness, collaborating with FMO’s investees, including a few of the largest MFIs in the country, Prasac, Amret, Sathapana and LOLC Cambodia.
Why do we fund this investment?
Over the past decade, FMO has contributed to the inclusive growth of the financial sector in Cambodia. Throughout this period, responsible lending has been a key to the expansion of MFIs. This CD project will provide important insight in the way end-beneficiaries are managing their finances. The results of the study provide crucial market intelligence that can allow FMO and its clients MFIs to make informed decisions about how to mitigate any risk of over-indebtedness going forward.
