| Summary: | During the last decade, the microfinance
sector in MENA has caromed from crisis to crisis. Some were
caused by problems within the sector itself (Morocco
crisis), while others were a product of the political
instability that has gripped the region since the beginning
of what was known then as the Arab Spring (early 2011).
Within this context, this publication was developed as a
joint collaboration between IFC’s MENA Microfinance Advisory
Team and Sanabel, the Microfinance Network of Arab
countries. It adopts the same methodology as the Global
Microfinance Banana Skin and focuses on the main risks
facing the industry in the Arab World today as seen by a
broad range of stakeholders, from donors to microfinance
institutions to regulators. |
