Microfinance Investment Summit: trends, regulations, developments and investment strategies

Sept. 29, 2010 - PRLog -- Progress within microfinance continues unabated. In today’s market, the trends, regulations, developments and investment strategies are all impacted by the state of the economy. Fortunately, the economy is recovering and microfinance is slowly on the rise. However, this revival raises its very own set of significant challenges:

   * How can the microfinance industry identify the window of opportunity to go back to sound practices?
   * What are the current barriers and the associate risks faced by investors?
   * How can social businesses support the growth of developing countries in today’s still shaky economy?
   * How do tier 2 MFIs compete in a marketplace where low risk is a prevalent factor for investments?

By attending this event, your peers will give you a deeper insight on this and much more. C5 has brought together the market leaders – international, private and institutional investors, MFIs and all other major industry stakeholders to share their experiences with you:

   * UK’s summary of the ‘Social Stock Exchange’ initiative and what this means for social impact investments
   * Turkey’s ‘Every drop matters’ project demonstrating how to capitalise on a partnership between the private sector and an international development organisation
   * France’s ‘BIPBOP’ case study highlighting how to incorporate CSR and outreach into programmes to meet both business and social objectives
   * India’s ‘SKS IPO’ experience – how commercial microfinance may indeed be the solution for meeting the needs of the financially poor at lower prices and in less time

And much more!
