IAMFI has convened the Microfinance Interest Rate Country Survey. This report will place microfinance into the local market rate environment for several countries, thereby contributing positively to the recent global discussion on this important issue.

The International Association of Microfinance Investors (IAMFI) is a global membership organization dedicated to serving current and potential microfinance investors. Microfinance provides low-income households and enterprises access to capital and other financial services such as savings, insurance and remittances.
