VI. A. Macroeconomic Stability: WHAT DETERMINES STOCK MARKET DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA?
| |
| The previous section has provided enough evidence to make a convincing case that stock
market development at least creates the enabling environment for a successful economic
growth. The policy question, therefore, is what determines stock market development? The
literature suggests that sound macroeconomic environment, well developed banking sector,

Can microfinance be profitable? FAQ
| |
| Yes it can. Data from the MicroBanking Bulletin reports that 63 of the world's top MFIs had an average rate of return, after adjusting for inflation and after taking out subsidies programs might have received, of about 2.5% of total assets. This compares favorably with returns in the commercial banking sector and gives credence to the hope of many that microfinance can be sufficiently attractive to mainstream into the retail banking sector. Many feel that once microfinance becomes mainstreamed, massive growth in the numbers of clients can be achieved. |

Ending poverty means abandoning charity and accepting reality
| |

This in an excursion into the morass of African poverty and development.
The short answer is: neither; ending poverty has nothing to do with the informal sector.

1.0 Introduction: Microfinance in Africa - Experience and Lessons from Selected African Countries
| |
| Small enterprises and most of the poor population in sub-Saharan Africa have very limited
access to deposit and credit facilities and other financial services provided by formal
financial institutions. For example, in Ghana and Tanzania, only about 5–6 percent of the
population has access to the banking sector. This lack of access to financial services from the
formal financial system is quite striking, when one considers that in many African countries
the poor represent the largest share of the population and that the informal sector is an
important part of the economy. |

5.0 Conclusions: Microfinance in Africa - Experience and Lessons from Selected African Countries
| |
| In sub-Saharan Africa, there is ample evidence that the poor, particularly those in the rural
sector, value both deposit and credit facilities. The existence and growth of cooperative
banking and combined savings and credit institutions in the microfinance sector in sub-
Saharan Africa reflects the growing demand for both savings and credit facilities. |
