Reg u I ato rV e nv i ro n me nt & sectoj-qg4--ogk

Post the AP crisis and regulatory intervention by RBl, the microfinance sector has seen

growth in loan portfolio. Overallthe credit profile of the MFls has shown improvement with

increasing loan portfolio on account of improving funding profile, control in operating

expenses, improving margins and moderate leverage levels.

Current focus of the microfinance sector is mainly on micro-credit with other products still

evolving including thrift, insurance and remittance etc. Going forward, MFls are likely to

expand their client base and reach out to more underserved areas of the country.

We believe that the microfinance sector has adapted to the new business environment

more than three years post the AP crisis. This phase is expected to be characterized by a

morc stable regulatory environment, steady availability of funds, improving profitability

with comfortable asset quality & capital adequacy and relatively lesser impact of

concentration risk. While we see improvement in credit profiles on account of the above

factors, credit view urill continue to factor in risks associated with unsecured lending, socio-

political intervention, geographic cclnceirtration and operational risks rciated tc cash based

transaction. Entity specific parameters relating to scale of operations, other operational

parameters and financial profile aldng with above factors will deterrnine individual MFI

credit views.
