C5 invites you to Europe’s premier event on Microfinance, designed for microfinance investors, industry experts and all other microfinance stakeholders.

Investments in microfinance are continuing to soar above all predictions at a 25% annual growth rate and total asset value estimated at $33bn, yet important questions are still being raised about how sustainable this asset class is in the long run and whether investors can expect sustained returns? Convergence is occurring between microfinance and mainstream banking as MFIs grow in size and sophistication and commercial banks enter the market. While these trends have boosted the size and quality of the microfinance sector, they bring with them new pressures of competition and higher expectations on fund performance.

Join an unparalleled faculty includingCEOs, Chairpersons, Heads of Global Microfinance Departments and Managing Directors from Deutsche Bank, Citibank, Standard Chartered Bank, Blue Orchard, responsAbility, Grameen Foundation, CGAP, Symbiotics, Microvest, Merrill Lynch, ACCION, IFC, Unitus Investment Group, Standards and Poor’s, Fitch Ratings, LuxFlag, MIX and other industry leaders. This event will not only put current market transactions into context, but also explore the potential business models emerging to ensure sustained growth in the microfinance industry.
