| Abstract | In 2011, cross-border funders committed at least US$25 billion to microfinance or financial services for the poor. Consultative Group to Assist the Poorest (CGAP) research shows that levels of cross-border funding continued to increase despite the global financial crisis and strained national budgets, but at a much lower growth rate, indicating that cross-border funders were adjusting to the new environment. The analysis of the global trends in the microfinance funding landscape in this brief is based on data from CGAP's surveys of cross-border funders. Overall, the share of public funding continues to be higher than the share of private funding at around two-thirds of the total commitments to microfinance (US$17 billion). Private funders represent approximately one-third (US$8 billion) of total commitments. Despite the slowdown of growth in commitments during the past two years, cross-border funders expect microfinance to remain important to their development agenda. |
