China Global Philanthropy Institute Launched A Research Report upon Microfinance
Global Philanthropy Financial Forum ( Forum) held on Dec.3 in Shenzhen, China. At a Forum side conference, a project team from Social Finance and Innovation Center of China Global Philanthropy Institute launched a research report upon Microfinance Rooted in the Countryside and Serving Low Income Rural Households ——A Case Study on CFPAMicrofinance’s Microcredit Services. This report finds that: CFPAMF adopts a market-based operating model; the financial service CFPAMF provides has a clear focus on poverty alleviation; and CFPAMF strives to strike a balance between realizing social goals and achieving financial sustainability.
From a holistic perspective of global social finance development, this report points out that social microcredit is regarded as the most developed area. Social microcredit institutions are also an increasingly frequent target of social impact investing. After 40 years of development, the business model of modern social microcredit has matured with its unique loan methods, fundraising channels, risk management and performance management measures. By studying CFPAMF, one of the most successful lenders of social microcredit in China, this report helps to discover the role of social microcredit institutions in the social microfinance ecosystem, and their commercial as well as social values.
