Section 1

The Year in
Review
The year 2014 saw the industry achieve a major milestone by crossing the 3 million active borrowers mark
for the first time. Overall, the industry witnessed
double digit growth in not only credit but also in savings and insurance.
Although the national economy grew at a modest
rate, the macroeconomic stability ensured a favorable environment for the players. Despite the persistent energy crisis and security challenges, positive economic indicators like lower inflation, falling
interest rates and uptake on private credit led to a
positive impact on the sector in terms of growth and
sustainability.
On the policy and regulatory side, the microfinance
banks (MFBs) have been allowed to become members of the national clearing house which will greatly
enhance their ability to mobilize their retail deposits. In addition, to facilitate mid-tier players to raise
funds from commercial sources, risk coverage under
the Microfinance Credit Guarantee Fund (MCGF) was

enhanced to 60 percent by the State Bank of Pakistan


(SBP). One of key challenge facing the industry has
been the lack of a regulatory umbrella for the nonbank microfinance providers (MFPs). In this regard,
the last year saw the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) sharing a draft of proposed regulations with players for comments.
Among other major developments in the sector last
year an industry risk register is being developed by
the Pakistan Microfinance Network (PMN). In addition, branchless banking continues to witness growth
and the Microfinance Credit Information Bureau (MFCIB) is fully operational with most of the MFPs generating enquiries. The PM Interest Free Loan Scheme
announced in 2013 was formally launched last
year through the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund
(PPAF), with an aim of reaching out to 1 million clients
in the next three years. As part of the responsible finance initiative, client protection assessments were
carried out under the SMART campaign.

Pakistan Microfinance Review 2014

Macro-economy and the Microfinance Industry

The year 2014 was a better year for Pakistans economy as it witnessed lower than expected inflation,
reduction in fiscal deficit and improvement in private
sector credit. In addition, the overall economy grew
by 4.1 percent compared to the 3.7 percent in 2013.
However, this was less than the target of 4.4 percent
for the year 2014.
Inflation for the year clocked at 8.6 percent - higher than the previous years 7.4%, but lower than the
expected rate of 11-12 percent. However, despite
the lower inflation, the central bank took a cautious
approach to monetary policy with the policy rate remaining constant for the better part of the year.

The end of the year saw the policy rate cut by 50 bps
taking it from 10 percent to 9.5 percent as shown in
Exhibit 1.1. This trend which continued in early 2015,
would likely result in the lowering of borrowing costs
of Microfinance Providers (MFPs).
Another positive for the year was the uptake in private sector credit growth which registered a double
digit growth of 11.4 percent. This increase which was
the highest in the last six years came on the back of
an increased supply of loanable funds, improvement
in business confidence and lower effective cost of
borrowing. This augurs well for MFPs which are witnessing increased dependence upon commercial borrowing to meet their funding needs.

Policy and Regulatory Environment

SBP is among the pioneer regulators who rolled out


regulations for branchless banking in 2008. These
regulations spurred a growth in the branchless banking arena. Over eight branchless banking systems
are in operation in the country which are providing a
wide array of services including savings, Government
to Person and Person to Person payments leading to
Pakistan being called the Laboratory for Innovation
in Branchless Banking .
The key developments on the policy and regulatory
environment for the year 2014 are as follow:

Clearing House Membership


A key challenge faced by the MFBs in mobilizing deposits has been the absence of membership of the
national clearing house. Lack of membership of the
clearing house meant that MFBs had to rely on commercial banks for clearance of their payments which
led to increased turnaround time. This had badly affected the practitioners ability to mobilize retail deposits and forced them to rely on expensive and volatile fixed deposits acquired at above market rates.
Clearing house membership has been on the agenda
of policy makers for a while and early this year, MFBs
have been allowed to become part of the clearing
house under a special category by the central bank.
This will enable MFBs to reduce the processing time
for payments and be able to attract retail deposits
in an effective manner. Moreover, it would lead to
growth in deposits and reduce reliance of MFBs on
expensive fixed deposits resulting in reduction in cost
of funds.

Non-Bank MFP Regulations


A key challenge facing the microfinance industry in
Pakistan has been the absence of regulatory and legal cover for the non-bank MFPs. Though these organizations are among the pioneers of microfinance in
the country they have witnessed their market share
shrink over the years. One of the main reasons for

Annual Assessment of the Microfinance Industry

Pakistans regulatory environment for microfinance


continues to be ranked among the best in the world.
Microfinance Banks (MFBs) established under the
MFI Ordinance 2001 and regulated by the State Bank
of Pakistan (SBP) currently account for 70 percent of
the asset base of the microfinance industry and have
witnessed huge investor interest as evident from the
series of acquisitions that have taken place over the
last few years. In order to create a level playing field
for the industry, non-bank microfinance providers are
also being brought under the regulatory umbrella.
This would allow non-bank MFPs to grow, transform
into stronger institutes and attract investments for
further expansion. The details of these proposed regulations are discussed in a subsequent section.

Financial Services for all

Section 1

this has been lack of regulatory umbrella. Due to


this non-bank MFPs have found it difficult to attract
commercial financing. Moreover, this has resulted in
a lack of recourse mechanism for clients and practitioners and the non-bank MFPs have remained vulnerable to the risk of external interference.

Pakistan Microfinance Review 2014

Keeping in view the above, a steering committee was


formed in 2012 chaired by Chairman Securities and
Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) that included all key stakeholders of the industry like SBP,
Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund (PPAF), PMN and
key MFPs to extend legal and regulatory cover for the
non-bank MFPs. Last year a draft of proposed regulations were shared with the players for their feedback. A summary of the main points raised by the
players and PMN is as follows:

It is hoped that SECP shall play a stewardship


role post-regulations similar to that of SBP in
case of MFBs.

A liberal interest rate regime for non-bank MFPs


should be followed that focuses on market instruments of competition and full disclosures as
followed by SBP.

The current and proposed Non-Bank Financial


Companies (NBFC) laws do not adequately cater to the microfinance sector as they do not
provide for micro-financing as a distinct form
of business carried out by NBFCs. Certain conditions and requirements of the NBFC Laws are
not realistic when taken in the context of the
working microfinance industry in Pakistan; thus,
there is a need for microfinance to be treated as
a distinct class of NBFCs and specific regulations
applicable upon them are required.

With the exception of one non-bank MFP, all


others are not for profit entities and many of
them would like to continue as non-profit under
the proposed regulatory framework. Therefore
the proposed regulatory framework, in addition
to designating NBMFIs as a specific class of
NBFCs, should allow for the creation of a further
distinction in the NBFC Laws between for profit non-bank MFP and not for profit non-bank
MFPs.

Since the proposed regulations cater for the establishment of a consultative group with representatives of the sector to review the regulations
and restrictions, limits, requirements, criterion,
etc. it has been proposed that the consultative
group meet with SECP every six months to bring
the regulator and the industry on the same page

and to revise the regulations as the industry


evolves.
It is hoped that regulations will come into effect by
the end of 2015 with adequate time being provided
for non-bank MFPs to conform to their requirements.
These regulations will play a role of catalyst for this
segment of the microfinance industry to attract both
debt and equity capital from the private sector and
be recognized as a mainstream part of the financial
landscape in Pakistan.

Amendments in Microfinance
Credit Guarantee Facility
(MCGF)
MCGF was launched in 2009 under the auspices of
the Financial Inclusion Program (FIP) with the aim of
boosting commercial funding to the industry by offering partial risk coverage to lenders. In order for the
sector to become sustainable and grow into a viable
part of the financial industry, commercial funding is
undeniably important. Initially MFBs and later, MFIs
and RSPs were allowed to utilize the facility to obtain loans from commercial banks and also issue redeemable capital. However, the uptake of the facility
among small and mid-sized MFBs was low as many
had riskier profiles compared to their larger, more established peers.
SBP recently revised guidelines regarding the MCGF
in order to facilitate and promote lending from commercial financial institutions for small to mid-sized
MFPs. In this regard, a tiering criterion has been developed and the risk coverage for the lender has been
enhanced.
Initially under the MCGF, 25 percent first loss guarantee or 40 percent partial guarantee was provided
in case of bilateral loans or redeemable capital to the
lenders. However, now in the case of bilateral loans
to Tier 2 MFPs, 60 percent partial guarantee is now
being provided. Tier 2 MFPs are defined as those entities that have been in business for 3 years instead
of 5 years which is a criterion for Tier 1 MFPs and
have a GLP above PKR 500 million as compared to
PKR 3 billion for Tier 1. Among other conditions, the
Tier 2 MFP needs to have an improving trend in its
return on assets (ROA) for the past three years and
for last year the ROA needs to be greater than -10
percent. In addition, the Portfolio at Risk (PAR) > 30
days also needs to below 10 percent.
These amendments will likely lead to enhancement
in lending to small and mid-sized MFPs which are
largely reliant on funding from the national apex and

have yet to initiate commercial borrowing relationships. This would allow them to not only enhance
but also diversify their funding sources leading to in-

crease in outreach and upscaling of loan sizes.

Microfinance Industry Initiatives

Risk taking is an inherent element of financial services, and like all financial institutions, microfinance
providers (MFPs) face risks that they must manage
effectively to achieve their financial and social objectives. Poorly managed risks can lead to losses endangering the safety and soundness of microfinance
institutions. Hence, it is imperative for microfinance
providers to have a formal risk management structure in place to counter potential threats.
As part of PMNs long term strategy to achieve sustainable growth in the Pakistan microfinance sector,
the Network is taking constructive steps to promote
sound risk management practices among microfinance practitioners. One initiative PMN has underway is the development of a comprehensive risk register for the microfinance sector in Pakistan.
A risk register is a tool widely used by organizations
for the identification and assessment of risks. The
tool is considered a vital component of the risk management process which serves as a central source for
the organizations risk information and acts as a risk
directory. The tool is used by organizations to list various risks, highlighting their probability and severity
of impact, along with possible risk mitigation steps
and strategies.
PMN is of the opinion that such a tool will enable
MFPs (especially those with no existing risk management structures in place) to understand the nature
of risks faced by the institutes at the departmental and strategic level. The risk register will provide
management and key stakeholders with significant
information on various threats, which can be utilized
to design risk management strategies to mitigate
potential threats.

Prime Minister Interest Free


Loan Scheme
The Government of Pakistan (GoP) launched an interest-free microloan scheme last year to address the
issues of poverty and rising unemployment in the

country. Under the scheme, PKR 3.5 billion were earmarked for the poor and destitute segments of the
population. Initially, the industry stakeholders were
apprehensive about the scheme as it could have
distorted the market for conventional microfinance.
However, in order to safeguard the interest of the
MFPs it was decided that the funds for the scheme
would be routed through the national apex, PPAF and
loans will be extended to those individual who fall below 40 on the poverty scorecard. In order to mitigate
the overlap between interest free loans and conventional microloans, the loans under this scheme would
only be extended in Union Councils that have low or
no penetration of conventional microfinance.
Currently, 24 MFPs have partnered with PPAF in extending interest free loans under this scheme. It is
hoped that the scheme would lead to over 1 million
additional active borrowers over the next three years.
Since this scheme is targeted toward those areas
where conventional microfinance has little or no penetration, it provides MFPs an opportunity to expand
outreach in newer geographic markets. Moreover, it
has the potential to allow for borrowers of interest
free loans to graduate to conventional microfinance.
This is ensured as the interest free loan would be
provided only once to an individual and after the
completion of the first cycle he/she would be eligible
only for a conventional microfinance loan. Lastly in
an industry that views funding as one of the key constraints to growth, it is felt that despite the skepticism, this scheme can be useful for the industry with
change in design and understanding that the interest
free loan program can help in graduation of clients
to the next level and mainstreaming them into the
microfinance segment.

Client Protection Assessments in


collaboration with the SMART
Campaign
Third-party client protection assessments using the
SMART Campaigns Smart Assessment Tool were
conducted for six MFPs during the year in review. In
total, 18 assessments have been conducted since the
inception of the Client Protection Initiative (CPI), cov-

ering over 70 percent of the market in terms of overall outreach to active borrowers. These assessments
were made possible with funding support from the
SBP through the DFID-sponsored FIP. The assessments provide a unique opportunity for PMN to observe the state of practice in client protection among
member MFPs; for some of the key findings see Box
1.1. For participating MFPs, the assessments provide
an opportunity to evaluate their practices in comparison with globally accepted standards of client protection, and seek recommendations for institutional
improvements to better comply with the standards.
They also indicate whether an institution is ready to
pursue SMART Certification, a designation recognized
across the global market that an institution successfully integrates Client Protection Principles into their
practices. After undergoing an assessment through
the CPI project and acting on its results, one MFP be-

came the first in Pakistan to achieve SMART Certification in 2014.

MicrofinanceCredit
Information Bureau (MF-CIB)
The Microfinance Credit Information Bureau (MF-CIB)
was launched nation-wide in 2012, with the support
of SBP, PPAF, Department for International Development (DFID) and International Finance Corporation
(IFC). It was aimed at mitigating the various challenges faced by the microfinance sector ranging from information asymmetry, adverse selection, and moral
hazard to over-indebtedness due to multiple borrowing. The delinquency crisis in Indias Andhra Pradesh
(2009) and Pakistans Punjab (2008-9) also served as
stark reminders for the industry to institutionalize

Box 1.1
State of Practice in Client Protection
In 2014, PMN conducted analysis of the state of sector in client protection. It is based first 10 third-party assessments
of member MFPs, out of which 5 were for MFIs and 5 were for MFBs. To arrive at this summary, an average was taken
for scores against each client protection principle across these MFPs.
This first look at the state of the sector in client protection provides substantial evidence that clients are kept at the
center of microfinance in Pakistan. At the broad level, the results indicate that MFPs are performing well on the client
protection principles of [1] appropriate product design and delivery, [2] prevention of over-indebtedness, [3] transparency, and [4] responsible pricing (see: graph below). At the same time, the results also reflect weakness in certain
areas, particularly CP principles of privacy of client data and mechanisms for complaints resolution. There are opportunities for improvement in these principles, as well as in certain indicators within the principle of fair and respectful
treatment of clients.

it allows for provision of financial services at lower


costs than the traditional banking structures making
it an ideal channel for reaching out to the unbanked.

Over the past three years, the MF-CIB has gradually

been gradually integrated into the ecosystem of the
sector. The enquiry numbers in the year 2014, barring a seasonal decline, showed an upward trend as
shown in Exhibit 1.2.

in the year 2014 with over 60% increase in the value
of transactions which reached PKR 375.9 billion as
compared to PKR 234.6 billion in December, 2013. The
number of transactions exhibited over 23% increase
reaching to 66.8 million from 54.1 million in at the

Attention is also being paid to improve the governance structure of the Bureau and make it more
inclusive and representative. The Credit Bureau Act,
which is expected to be ratified by the Parliament this
year, will also result in increased transparency from
the service providers perspective. The pricing mechanism is being scrutinized and PMN is working with
the Bureau and MFPs to create a framework for determining prices in future.
PMN is also conducting a financial literacy program
aimed at raising awareness amongst the clients vis-vis the Bureaus importance and utilization. Moreover, a grievance addressing mechanism delineating
the rights and obligations of MFPs, Bureau and Clients is also being worked out.

Branchless Banking
Branchless banking is an important tool available to
the microfinance industry to expand outreach by leveraging cellular technology infrastructure. Moreover,

the number of m-wallet accounts which reached 4.7


million from 3.4 million in the same time period.
Pakistans branchless banking market is still in an
evolutionary phase with eight players competing
for market share of agents, number and value of
transactions, etc. With the agent network currently
standing at 186,000 agents exhibiting a 49% increase
from 125,000 in the year, there are concerns about
the quality of agents due to a widespread sharing
phenomenon. At present, the market is focused on
Over the Counter (OTC) transactions. This fuels a
commission war to lure agents hence dictating the
process of agent acquisition and a nominal addition
of new access points which would be, in real terms,
expansion of the agent network. A few players are,
however, bringing innovation to build business cases
around mobile wallets.
The SBP has continued to facilitate efforts for a
broader vision financial inclusion through strengthening the ecosystem for digital transaction accounts.
The SBP signed an MOU with NADRA in November
2014 according to which, biometric verification cost
has been brought down to PKR 10 for each m-wallet
account opening at the industry level. The placement
of biometric verification apparatus across all telecom
operators offices enables account opening within a

few seconds via fingerprint verification, and coupled


with PTAs directive of mandatory biometric mobile
SIM verification, this will result in the countrys mobile clientele ready to be inducted in the branchless
banking arena. This has also proven to be a catalyst
for the explosive growth of m-wallets since the beginning of 2015.

Over 12 microfinance institutions are currently providing disbursement and recovery services to their
clients through digital channels. Some players have
also started extending insurance services to their
clients through branchless banking channels. The
industry is poised to witness accelerated growth in
future in volume and variety of financial services.

Branchless banking can serve as a growth driver owing to its capacity to increase outreach by lowering
delivery cost and aiding profitability of institutions.

Conclusion
The microfinance industry in Pakistan having witnessed continuous growth over the last few years in
not only credit but also savings, insurance and remittances, is ideally positioned to play an important role
in the inclusive finance sphere. It can offer a wide variety of financial services to the unbanked particularly
at the base of the pyramid.
The current macroeconomic stability in the country provides an ideal environment for the sector to
grow and expand. Falling interest rates on the back of
lower inflation and uptake on private credit provides
an opportunity for the microfinance sector to reduce
costs and fund their expansion by borrowing from
commercial sources.

Pakistan Microfinance Review 2014

With major policy and regulatory initiatives like clearing house membership for MFBs and enhanced risk
coverage for lenders to mid-tier MFPs being taken,

players are better poised to address funding challenges. Also, the launch of non-bank MFPs regulatory framework will lead to strengthening of these
institutes and provide them with an opportunity to
expand.
Branchless banking continues to gain popularity and
provides opportunities to not only expand outreach
and reduce costs but also expand the variety of financial services on offer. MF-CIB is fully operation
with enquiries being generated by MFPs and remains
a key catalyst for future growth of the industry. In
addition, significant steps towards ensuring responsible inclusive finance, by working towards global
best practices in client protection have been taken.
Establishment of an industry risk register will allow
members to identify risks and take steps to mitigate
their impact.

The section is divided into two parts. Section 2A covers the financial performance of the microfinance industry
whereas Section 2B deals with the social performance of the industry.

Section 2A: Industry Performance


This section provides a detailed analysis of the financial performance of Pakistans microfinance industry in 2014. Performance has been assessed on
three levels: industry wise, across peer groups and
institution wise. The analysis is backed by 88 financial indicators, calculated from the audited financial
statements of the reporting organizations. These
indicators have been compared across time and regions to develop a reliable and fair assessment of
sector.
Detailed financial information is provided in Annex
A-I and A-II of the PMR. Aggregate data has been reproduced for five years, whereas, the peer group and

institution specific data has been made available only


for the year 2014.
A total of 42 MFPs submitted their audited financial
statements for PMR 2014. During the period, five new
respondents provided their dataset for the first time.
For a complete list of reporting organizations refer to
Annex B.
Industry players are categorized into three groups
for benchmarking and comparison purposes: Microfinance Banks (MFBs), Microfinance Institutions (MFIs)
and Rural Support Programmes (RSPs). See Box 2A.1
for detailed definitions.

Microfinance Institution: A non-bank non-government organization (NGO) providing microfinance services. Organizations in this group are registered under a variety of regulations, including the Societies Act, Trust Act, and the
Companies Ordinance. The MFI peer group includes local as well as multinational NGOs such as BRAC-Pakistan and
ASA-Pakistan.
Microfinance Bank: A commercial bank licensed and prudentially regulated by the SBP to exclusively service the
microfinance market. The first MFB was established in 2000 under a presidential decree. Since then, ten MFBs have
been licensed under the Microfinance Institutions Ordinance, 2001. Eight of them are operating at national level, while
two at the provincial level. MFBs are legally empowered to accept and intermediate deposits from the public.
Rural Support Programme: An NGO registered as a non-profit company under the Companies Ordinance. An RSP is
differentiated from the MFI peer group based on the purely rural focus of its credit operations. As a group, the RSPs
are registered with and supervised by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).

Exhibit 2A.4: Percentage Share in Active Borrowers by Peer Group

13

Among the peer groups, MFBs continue to dominate


the sector by holding 42 percent of the total market
share followed by RSPs (35 percent) and MFIs (31
percent) as shown in Exhibit 2A.4. The market share
of MFBs and RSPs increased by 2 percent in 2014,
whereas in the same period, the share of MFIs decreased from 35 percent to 31 percent. The increase
in share of RSPs can be attributed to the increase in
borrowers by NRSP and TRDP (both RSPs collectively
added 140,000 microcredit clients) non-inclusion of
Akhuwat in the dataset.
In terms of GLP, MFBs account for 60 percent of the
total GLP, followed by MFIs with a share of 21 percent and RSPs with a share of 19 percent. The overall

the back of NRSP which contributed PKR 2.1 billion
worth of loan portfolio.
Furthermore, approximately 82 percent of the industrys GLP is accounted for by nine MFPs (Exhibit 2A.6).
KBL continues to dominate the market in terms of
portfolio size by having a GLP of PKR 12.2 billion
depicting an increase of 38 percent compared to the
previous year. This is reflective of the active borrowers of KBL (second highest in the sector) coupled with
a shift towards higher average loan size (PKR 21,600
in 2013 to PKR 26,100). During the year, FINCA Microfinance Bank saw the greatest percentage increase
in GLP (by a remarkable 98%) from PKR 2.0 billion to

reliance on deposits as a primary source of financing
as it keeps their cost funding at reasonably low levels. During the year, the cost of funds of MFBs stood
at 6.7 percent as compared to an average of 8.9 percent of non-bank MFIs. The liquidity position of MFBs

can also be determined by the deposit-to-GLP ratio;


a high ratio implies that MFBs have excess funds at
hand and are adequately liquid. Moreover, the cost of
funds has remained in single digits despite mobilizing deposits at above market rates.

Scale and Outreach: Depth


The depth of outreach in microcredit operations is
measured by a proxy indicator: average loan balance
per borrower in proportion to per capita Gross National Income (GNI). A value below 20 percent is assumed
to mean that the MFP is poverty focused. Except for
KBL and NRSP Bank, all of the other MFBs fall above
this benchmark (Exhibit 2A.11). Comparison across
peer groups shows that the ratio of average loan balance to per capita GNI for MFBs has been on the rise

end of the market through relatively larger loan sizes, and hence have a ratio of 20 percent compared to

The ratio of average loan balance to per capita GNI

Exhibit 2A.19: Regional Comparison of Asset Utilization Ratio

Asset composition remained varied across the industry. MFIs accounted for the highest advances to
total assets ratio closely followed by RSPs as shown
in Exhibit 2A.20. Improvement in the ratio for MFIs
and RSPs is largely due to increase in grace period
being offered by the national apex. MFB peer group
has lower advances to total assets as a number of
players have recently been acquired and their credit
business is in formative stages. In addition, one of
the larger players, FMFB, has only been able to deploy

Funding Profile
The capital structure of the industry continued to witness the trend of increasing deposits and decrease
in debt in 2014 as shown in Exhibit 2A.21. Deposits
now make up 44 percent of the total funding of the
sector as compared to 39 percent in 2013. Debt has
fallen to 33 percent of the funding from 39 percent
in the same time period. Equity witnessed a slight
increase to account for 23 percent of the total funding on the back of increasing profitability among the
practitioners.
The capital structure continues to be differ among
the peer groups with non-bank MFPs relying on debt

Annual Assessment of the Microfinance Industry

Despite the improvement in the asset utilization ratio


in the year 2014, it was below its regional peers as

64 percent of the MFBs funding is made up of deposits up from 62 percent in the previous year as shown
in Exhibit 2A.22. In case of MFI peer group, debt continues to make up 80 percent of the funding whereas
in the case of RSPs debt accounts for 70 percent of
the capital, slightly up from 69 percent in the preceding year.

The total net income and total revenues for the industry stood at PKR 3.5 billion and PKR 24.3 billion in
the year 2014 respectively. The unadjusted ROA and

The operating expense was on the higher end as


compared to other regions as seen in Exhibit 2A.28.
This points towards the fact that MFPs in Pakistan
have yet to achieve scale and only then costs can be
reduced. Branchless banking can play a crucial role
in bringing down the operating costs of the industry.

The productivity indicators of the industry continued


to exhibit improvement in the year 2014. Loans per
staff and loans per loan officers rose to 152 and 342
as compared to 144 and 327 in the previous year. Depositors per staff increased to 293 as compared to
269 in the same time period (see Exhibit 2A.31).

Operating expense to GLP also witnessed an increase


in 2014 after exhibiting a declining trend over the last
few years as shown in Exhibit 2A.29. Operating expense to GLP stood at 23.0 percent as compared to
22.1 percent in the previous year. The increase in the
expense was due to rise in the administrative expense.

Overall, the PAR > 30 days continues to remain below


the 5.0 percent cutoff point reflecting positive portfolio quality of the industry. However, it also may point
towards the fact that players are risk averse and
there is still plenty of opportunity in the market for
growth in outreach.
Risk coverage ratio for the industry stood at 180.0
percent in 2014 up from 61.2 percent in the previous
year. This high value for the risk coverage ratio was
largely due to the requirement of national apex for its
funded institutes to have loan loss provision equal to
5.0 percent of their total outstanding portfolio.

Conclusion
On the whole 2014 was a good year for the industry. It
witnessed double digit growth in outreach in all areas
including credit, deposits and insurance. The growth
in the number of depositors was more pronounced
due to the opening of a large number of m-wallet
accounts. Female borrowers continued to constitute
a majority of the borrowers and group lending re-

mained the dominant approach to lending. However,


individual lending was becoming increasingly popular
with practitioners. Majority of the lending activities
continued to target the trade and agriculture sector.
In addition, rural borrowers continued to account for
the majority of the borrowers for the industry.
The total asset base of the industry stood over PKR
100 billion with MFBs making up nearly 70 percent of
it. MFBs continued to rely on deposits as their main
funding source whereas MFIs and RSPs are dependent on debt for on-lending. The industry continues
to remain sustainable and out of 41 reporting organizations, 35 MFPs are sustainable. Operating costs
remained high for MFPs and there is room for improvement in this area. In addition, the productivity
indicators continued to exhibit an improving trend.
PAR>30 days continued to remain below the 5 percent cut-off point reflecting positive portfolio quality.
The industry continues to remain concentrated with
nine MFPs dominating the market out of which five
are MFBs.
On the whole the industry is poised for growth and
can play a crucial role in the inclusive finance sphere.

Section 2B: Social Performance


Introduction
The last few years have seen a dedicated effort on
behalf of the microfinance industry, both globally
and in Pakistan, to focus on social performance (SP)
along with financial sustainability. Microfinance is a
double-bottom line industry, where sustainability is
not an end in itself; but rather a means to achieving
social goals. These goals can differ: some MFPs may
have a vision of poverty alleviation, others of women
empowerment, while yet others may be working for
increasing access to formal financial services.
In order to better attain an institutions intended
goals, microfinance stakeholders around the world
now believe that an MFPs systems, activities and
outputs must be deliberately geared towards its social vision, to make the impact that the institution is
aiming for. For an MFP, therefore, social performance
management means focusing simultaneously on its
financial and social bottom lines.
The following section will outline key social performance indicators as monitored across the Pakistan
microfinance landscape. We will attempt to analyze
industry trends across various SP indicators, including social goals, poverty target, governance & HR,
diversity in financial and non-financial service provision, client protection, pricing norms and environment.

hensive set of indicators on institutions social goals,


target segments and other services. As self-reported
data, the MIX framework allows MFPs to select multiple categories that are applicable to their respective
institution. For example, within the poverty targeting sub-section, an MFP may report to targeting all
or none of the very poor, poor and low income client
categories if those are applicable to their practices.
At the time of this publication, 27 PMN member MFPs
reported on the new MIX Social Performance framework, including 5 MFBs (out of 9 MFB members), 19
MFIs (out of 35 MFI members) and 3 RSPs (out of 6
RSP members). The number of reporting MFPs is expected to increase once the new reporting framework
has been mainstreamed; all responses will be published on the MIX market website for each successive
reporting MFP.

Target Market
Identifying their target markets helps to focus MFP
efforts and optimize the limited resources available.
Providing services that are relevant, client oriented
and effective in serving an organizations mission requires a clear understanding of the population that
an MFP aims to reach. MFPs target markets by peer
group are highlighted in Exhibit Exhibit 2B.1. All 5 reporting MFBs cited three multiple targets, including
women, clients living in rural areas and clients living

Overall, clients are targeted based on gender and
location. While the focus on rural areas is relatively
greater, there is also a growing emphasis on urban
clients, particularly among MFPs providing individual

has also seen growing interest amongst some MFPs.
A focus on women is quite common in the sector as
well.

As indicated in the previous reporting period, all MFPs


have some social development goals built into their
mission and these rarely change on an annual basis.
These are social goals towards the accomplishment
of which the MFPs have explicitly designed products, services, and procedures. Interestingly, there

Themes of poverty alleviation, empowerment of the

common objectives are increased access to financial


services and poverty reduction, with all 27 reporting MFPs citing these are their objectives. The other
mostly commonly cited development goals across all
peer groups are growth of existing businesses, employment generation, and gender equality and womens empowerment (Exhibit 2B.2).

Poverty Targeting

poverty level assessments serve multiple purposes


like guide client targeting and selection for MFPs,
establish baselines of client poverty for subsequent
impact evaluations, appraisal of financial services to
better suit needs of clients and overall measurement
of the programs effectiveness.

In terms of poverty level of targeted clients, all of the


reporting institutions target more than one segment
of the poor. Overall, the most common target market

household income and expenditure. While the MIX

Box 2B.1
Poverty Scorecard used by PPAF Partner Organizations (POs)
The Poverty Scorecard for Pakistan developed by The World Bank is a tool to measure change in poverty in an effective
way and to support the management of development programmes that focus on alleviating poverty. It is also a useful
tool for social investors that need to measure results according to the triple bottom line objectives i.e. financial, social
and environmental results. By ranking targeted households relative poverty, it helps managers target the poor, track
changes in poverty, and manage depth of outreach.
One of the ways that the apex lender for microfinance practitioners in the country (PPAF) has ensured incorporation of
SPM into partner organizations is through the use of a standard poverty scorecard. All PPAF partner organizations are
required to complete the poverty scorecard system for new/repeat clients, and submit reports on these scorecards to
the PPAF. While analysis based on poverty research needs to be strengthened, these scorecards provide an important
foundation for the industry to work toward standardized measurement of what is perhaps the most predominant
social goal of microfinance practitioners, i.e. targeting the poor.

MFPs.

Governance and Human Resource (HR) policies related to social performance allow MFPs to gauge
commitment to their social development goals at the
institutional level. Governance refers to Board members receiving orientation on the social mission of the
MFP, the presence of a SP champion or committee at
the Board level, and Board level experience in SPM.
During orientation, Board members are provided with
an explanation of (or training on) the institutions social mission and goals. Social performance champions are members of the Board of Directors that are
assigned to oversee integration of social performance

Staff incentives at MFPs relate to the number of clients entertained by the field staff, the quality of interaction with clients based on client feedback mechanisms, quality of social data collected and/or the
portfolio quality maintained by field staff. Exhibit 2B.6
shows that across the Pakistan microfinance industry, portfolio quality is the most cited factor for staff
incentives, both for MFBs and non-Bank MFIs. This
means that MFPs have incentives and/or bonus systems designed to reward staff based (in whole or in

Products and Services: Financial


Microfinance refers to a range of financial services
for the low income and poor households. These include savings, insurance and money transfer services
along with credit. This sub-section summarizes the
range of financial products offered by MFPs in Pakistan, based on the assumption that microfinance
clients are a heterogeneous group with varying financial needs.

Credit
All reporting organizations offer microcredit services,
including both for income generating purposes and
non-income generating purposes. According to Exhibit 2B.9a, all reporting MFPs offer income generating loans, while a few also offer non-income generating or consumption based loans.

on total number of clients, number of clients meeting specific criteria (e.g. new clients, returning clients,
etc.), or both. Exhibit 2.B.7 shows that all MFPs use a
combination of these measures for calculating staff
incentives, with the most common being total number of clients, followed by client retention.

Exhibit 2B.9b: Credit Offerings

The number and kinds of credit products vary across


institutions. Due to the range of clients targeted, it is
important for MFPs to develop a product mix that accounts for the multi-dimensional needs of a diverse
set of clients. Increasing competition and maturing
markets require MFPs to go beyond generic product design and differentiate their products to serve
different market segments and customer demands.
Exhibit 2B.9b shows the range of activities for which
income-generating loans are available in Pakistan.
Loans for microenterprises are by far the most common, with all reporting MFPs offering these, followed
by agricultural/livestock microcredit. Other activities
for which a growing number of MFPs offer credit
products include SME loans and express loans. This
suggests that product differentiation in credit is under way and MFPs are beginning to offer products
beyond the typical microenterprise loan; with some
MFPs moving up the market to target SMEs as well
as offer timely express loans.

Deposits
Only about 37 percent of the reporting MFPs offer
savings products. The ability to offer this service is
largely determined by the legal status of an MFP: all
MFBs, by virtue of being regulated banks, are allowed
to intermediate client deposits, and thus all reporting
MFBs take deposits. Non-bank MFPs can only mobilize deposits. It is important to note that all savings
products reported are voluntary, as none of the reporting MFBs impose compulsory savings on clients.
That is, deposit accounts are not required by MFPs as
collateral for another financial product/service and
instead offered to clients as an independent product.
All MFBs offer both demand deposit accounts and
time deposit accounts, based on the needs of their
clients; though further diversified savings products
and access to these savings products would help
boost uptake among small-holder savers.

is not surprising since the majority of MFPs in Pakistan target women as their priority market, and their
fundamental social mission relates to womens economic uplift. Such services usually include womens
rights education/gender issues training and leadership training. Enterprise services, such as enterprise skills development and business development

due to the simplicity in calculation and marketing. 39

Client Protection
Client Protection (CP) principles refer to the minimum

There are seven all-encompassing principles of client

in place strong repayment capacity analysis, internal
audit systems, full pricing terms disclosure, and defined code of conduct. However, as indicated in the

the non-Bank MFIs. Due to the regulatory framework
under which MFBs fall, all reporting Banks show full
compliance to the basic CP indicators.

Overall, the sector shows positive compliance to CP

Environmental Policies
For the first year, SP reporting to MIX consisted of
MFPs providing information regarding elements of
their environmental policies, often considered to be
the triple bottom-line for microfinance. These environmental policies refer to MFPs promoting awareness on environmental impacts, having tools to evaluate environmental risks of clients activities and
including clauses in loan contracts to ensure mitigation of environmental risks through the clients businesses (see Exhibit 2B.16a).
In addition to this, a few MFPs reported on various
types of environmentally friendly products and/or
practices that they are currently piloting, including
products related to renewable energy, for example
solar panels, biogas digesters and so on. Some MFPs
are also engaged in financing environmentally friendly businesses, for example organic farming, recycling
and/or waste management (see Exhibit 2B.16b).
The strong performance of the MFI peer group in this
area reflects the efforts carried out by the PPAF, to
ensure compliance of all its partner organizations

Framework. As PPAF-funded institutions, these

to provide quarterly progress update on ESM compliance. External environmental and/or social performance audits are commissioned by PPAF to monitor

with their respective community based institutions.

While the reporting is relatively new in this respect,


the industry is taking positive steps in moving towards supporting/financing more environmentally
sustainable businesses. There is still a need for more
comprehensive work in this area, specifically a natural disaster risk mitigation strategy not just to protect MFPs but also clients and their businesses.

The Way
Forward
With the industry growing at a double digit rate over the last few years buoyed by an enabling regulatory and policy
environment some of the key challenges and opportunities faced by the practitioners are as follow:

Inclusive Finance and Microfinance Industry


Financial exclusion has been labelled the new apartheid. Access to financial services plays an important
role in the development of the financial sector and
the economy at large.

Pakistan Microfinance Review 2014

Access to financial services is one of the key challenges faced by the country. Keeping this in view the
State Bank of Pakistan in collaboration with World
Bank (WB) has recently developed the National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS) with an aim of improving access to financial services for the unbanked
population of the country.

41

Pakistan continues to lag behind in the World Banks


Financial Inclusion Index (FINDEX). Only 8.7 percent
of the adult population in the country has an account
with a formal financial institution as compared to
45.5 percent for South Asia . In addition, only 3.3 percent of the adults placed their savings with financial
institutions while only 1.5 percent borrowed from financial institutions as against 39.3 percent who borrowed from family and informal money lenders . This
shows there is a huge unmet demand which has not
yet been tapped by the formal financial sector forc-

ing large segments of population to rely on informal


sources for financial services.
The Microfinance industry can play a crucial and critical role in the inclusive finance sphere. It can offer
a wide array of financial services including not only
credit products but also savings, insurance and payments services. With its potential clientele being
those who belong to the lower income strata of the
society, the microfinance industry can bring a large
segment of population into formal financial system
as compared to other players in the financial industry. Utilizing its synergies with branchless banking
and outreach in rural areas the sector can be an effective conduit for improving access to financial services across the country. Areas like low cost housing
segments, loans to small and marginalized farmers,
value chains and health insurance can be best extended by the microfinance industry as compared
to other players in the financial sectors. It is felt that
clear demarcation is needed for the role of MFPs in
the inclusive finance sphere in the upcoming NFIS.

The Way Forward

Towards Accelerated Growth


The microfinance industry in the country despite the
enabling environment and progressive regulatory
framework, investments in industry infrastructure
and institutional strengthening, and entry of a new
range of practitioners in the market, has been growing at a rate far below its potential in the past few
years. Current penetration of 11.5 percent is inadequate showing that practitioners have to cover a lot
of ground. Despite all its achievements to date, the
industry is far from realizing its potential and contributing significantly to the financial inclusion agenda in Pakistan. Policymakers and financial industry
stakeholders are starting to analyze and question
the ability of the microfinance sector to make a significant and large scale contribution to the financial
exclusion challenge in the country: with such an enabling environment and extensive, sustained support
from the donors, why is the sector unable to grow
and achieve the scale it needs to have? Thus, in order
for microfinance to remain relevant and become an
important, integral part of the financial industry, the
sector needs to demonstrate it can scale up and grow
sustainably, and resultantly have meaningful impact
on the financial inclusion landscape within Pakistan
and globally.
According to recently authored strategy paper by
PMN on growth, setting an ambitious credit outreach
target for itself will not only allow the industry to fur-

ther its goal of inclusive finance but also make it a


permanent feature of the financial landscape. Moreover, that level of scale and growth would permanently place microfinance on the policy and growth
agenda of the State. A larger size would also increase the industrys ability to absorb distortions and
threats emanating from external interference either
in the form of government led credit schemes or issues pertaining to pricing of loans.
MFPs can utilize government directed credit schemes
and government initiatives like credit guarantees for
small and marginalized farmers and low cost housing guarantee schemes to increase outreach in rural
areas and enter new market segments like low cost
housing. In addition, the fast growing branchless
banking segment can be utilized to expand outreach
by identifying potential clients based on cell phone usage similar what is being done by M-Shawri in Kenya.
Moreover, apprehensions regarding whether growth
at accelerated growth could lead to delinquency crisis
as witnessed globally in 2008 in Nicaragua, Bosnia,
Morocco and Pakistan have been addressed by setting up of MF-CIB, launch of responsible finance and
client protection initiatives, strengthening of corporate governance among the players and developing
regulatory umbrella for the entire sector.

Pakistans economy has witnessed the launch of a


number of government sponsored credit schemes by
various administrations over the years. The aim of
these schemes has largely been provision of employment coupled with poverty alleviation. The conduit
for these schemes has generally been public sector
banks and DFIs whose number has substantially
declined due to privatization over the last few decades. Moreover, the result of the schemes has been
far from satisfactory. The fault largely lies with the
structure of the scheme and the design of the products offered to clients.
The incumbent government soon after taking office
in 2013 launched two credit schemes namely the
Prime Minister (PM) Youth Loan Scheme and Prime
Minister (PM) Interest-Free Loan Scheme with an

aim of employment generation and poverty alleviation. The interest-free loan scheme was s source of
concern for the microfinance industry stakeholders
as it had the potential to distort the conventional
microfinance industry. However, the scheme was
structured and designed in such a manner that rather than overlapping with conventional microfinance
it now complements it. The funding for the scheme
has been routed through the national apex, PPAF,
and loans are extended by selected MFPs to clients
Only clients falling below 40 on the poverty scorecard
and belonging to those areas where there little or no
outreach of conventional microfinance.
This successful adaptation of a government credit scheme can work as prelude to how other similar
schemes can be structured and designed in a man-

ner which would result in a win-win situation for


all. Similarly, PM Youth Loan Scheme under which
subsidized loans are extended to existing and new
business can be modified and adapted. In addition,
other recently announced government initiatives like
the Credit Guarantee Scheme for Small & Marginalized Farmers and Low Cost Housing Guarantee can
be utilized for expanding outreach in rural areas and
housing segments.

experience in extending non-collateralized loans to


borrowers from lower income strata. This experience, market awareness and skill set can be used to
channel government credit initiatives. Finally, for an
industry which counts funding as one of the key constraints to growth these credit schemes can prove to
be quite useful.

Moreover, the schemes can be handled efficiently


and generate the required impact if they are channelized through MFPs. Microfinance practitioners have

Impact Investment
According to Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN),
Impact investments are investments made into
companies, organizations, and funds with the intention to generate social and environmental impact
alongside a financial return. The impact investors
provide funds, both equity and debt, to meet the
worlds most pressing challenges in areas like agriculture, housing, education, renewable energy,
healthcare, clean technology, and access to financial
services. There are over three hundred impact funds
globally. In 2012, over USD 8 billion were committed
by impact investors as compared to USD 2.5 billion in
2010 . More than 70 percent of the impact investing
allocations is to the microfinance industry .

Pakistan Microfinance Review 2014

In its report The Landscape for Impact Investing in


South Asia, GIIN has stated that Pakistan has one of
the largest impact investment landscapes in the region. Impact investors have deployed over USD 2 billion so far. There are a variety of impact investors in
the country including fund managers, high net worth

43

individuals, development financial institutes (DFIs)


and other financial institutions. However, most of the
capital has been deployed by DFIs and mostly in the
form of debt. The majority of the impact investments
in the country so far have been in the energy sector.
With increasing global popularity of impact investing
and additional funds being committed by impact investors, microfinance players in Pakistan provide an
ideal channel for these investors. Moreover, both impact investors and microfinance players share similar
objectives i.e. social impact and also, to earn a near
market return on their investments. MFPs can work
with impact investors for specific interventions like
access to financial services, funding low cost private
schools, provide off-grid energy solutions and low
cost housing. This would require MFPs to develop
innovative products to tap these market segments.
Impact investments provide MFPs with an opportunity to not only grow but also enter into other market
segments.

Diversifying Funding Sources


A key challenge for the microfinance industry in
Pakistan to grow and reach scale is funding. MFPs
have been relying for funding upon the national apex,
guarantee schemes and deposits (in case of MFBs
only). To grow and expand outreach MFPs will have
to diversify their sources of funds to meet financing
needs in the future.

Deposits
MFBs have witnessed exponential growth in deposit mobilization in the last few years. The growth has
come at the back of above market rates being offered
to institutional clients and high net-worth individuals. However, opening of national clearing house
membership for MFBs will allow them to mobilize

Financial Services for all

The Way Forward

retail deposits effectively. This would lead to not only


increase in deposits but also lower cost of funds. In
addition as a result of recent biometric re-verification
of SIMs, m-wallet accounts can now be opened without even visiting an agent by customers have had
their SIM verified. This initiative is a big opportunity
for the sector to migrate the large number of overthe-counter users of branchless banking services to
m-wallets. With this step MFBs can extend financial
services to a large number of unbanked client and
enhance their deposit base.
To be able to truly extend saving products to client
at the base of pyramid innovative products need to
be developed. Currently, clients are being offered a
stereotypical product mix which is similar to the one
being offered by commercial banks. In addition, MFBs
can link up with RSPs and MFIs to attract the savings
being mobilized by them and parked at various financial institutes since non-bank MFPs are legally not
allowed to mobilize deposits. This would require creating partnerships and incentive structure between
deposit-taking and non-deposit taking institutes.

Debt
Currently, the practitioners are availing debt facilities
primarily from the national apex and funds obtained
under the two loan guarantee schemes. While the
bigger players have been successful is raising funds
from commercial banks which are partially or fully

secured by the guarantee funds but the same cannot be said for the mid and small sized practitioners.
But recent enhancement of risk coverage MFCG to 60
percent for these MFPs will better place them to tap
finances from commercial sources.
In order to meet their increasing funding needs,
MFPs would need to explore options to avail loans
from international lenders and also tap debt capital
markets. A number of international development financial institutions (DFIs) and microfinance investment vehicles (MIVs) have been exploring the market
over the years for possible debt placements. However, the high hedging costs and availability of funds
at competitive rates locally had been the inhibiting
factors. But recent growth in outreach and lowering
of hedging premiums has led to two successful debt
placements by an international lender. With continued investor interest in the sector, there is potential
for players to tap international lenders to meet their
funding needs. Debt capital markets offer microfinance practitioners another avenue to raise funds.
Although, there have been only two instances when
MFPs have issued redeemable capital but their success coupled with the extension of MCGF coverage to
debt capital markets make it an attractive option for
practitioners. In addition as large firms move globally
towards creating shared values which focuses on the
connection between societies and economic progress, microfinance practitioners can tap these shared
value initiatives to meet their funding needs.

Capacity Building Program: Laying the foundation for a

With the sector growing at a steady rate, the demand for capacity building initiatives, in terms of the
provision of consistent training opportunities, far
outstripped the supply. Since then the Microfinance
sector has made many strides through an enabling
environment created by the State Bank of Pakistan,
Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund, UK-Aids DFID,
PMN and other stakeholders, but the goal of achieving scale has yet to be realized. It is believed that one
of the major impediments to achieving growth and
sustainability is lack of staff capacities, especially
at the middle and lower management levels at the
MFPs. It is also true that trained human resource is
one of the pre-requisites for a strong, dynamic and
growing Microfinance sector, which would need to

invest in enhancing capacity by imparting the necessary knowledge and skills which will help equip staff
to shoulder their responsibilities effectively in the microfinance organizations they are employed.
Efforts to develop the capacity of the human resource
in the past were primarily focused on undertaking
one-off training programs while the demand for such
trainings has been increasing rapidly. The unavailability of adequate external training facilities has also
minimized the long-term impact of the various training programs carried out arbitrarily by different sector level institutions. With less dependable sources
to provide assistance to help meet the technical and
management training needs for microfinance and for

Inclusive Finance in general, most of the MFPs are


currently grappling with issues related to growth and
cost effectiveness.
However, to reach scale will be challenging for the
sector given its current capacity and state. Human
Resource Development is a key area that needs to be
focused on to achieve such scale, as mentioned earlier. HRD is also of critical importance for the industry given the labor intensive nature of the work and
limited trained staff is considered a major barrier to
achieving scale through product diversification. With
the focus on growth, the staff in the microfinance industry is estimated to increase four fold over the next
five years.
With current staff capacity already being a major issue, a strategic approach to HRD at the sector level
needs to be undertaken. Currently PMN facilitates
the provision of opportunities to the senior management tier to enhance its capacity through exposure

visits, corporate governance and international trainings with the primary focus on strategic leadership.
It is also important to know that the industry is comprised of diverse players each having its own different set of requirements. Whereas large for-profit organizations can support in-house training programs
for their mid and lower level staff, medium sized and
smaller organizations which constitute the bulk of
the industry cannot afford similar trainings.
Keeping this in view, the establishment of a Training
Centre of Excellence for the Microfinance Providers
would be the need of the hour, where technical and
managerial trainings can be offered on consistent
basis to the increasing number of mid and operational level staff which will be employed in the coming
years as the sector moves up on the growth trajectory. Consequently, the long term objective of increasing outreach through the development of innovative
products will come to fruition.

Micro, Small & Medium Enterprise (MSME) Lending

Pakistan Microfinance Review 2014

Micro and Small enterprises in Pakistan face serious issues with access to formal finance given their
informal nature, lack of documentation and acceptable collateral. Although commercial banks have had
some success with downscaling to meet the needs of
medium sized firms in Pakistan, small entrepreneurs
remain off their radar and it seems highly unlikely
that the mainstream banks will serve this segment in
the near future. However, MFPs, especially the MFBs
and large MFIs, seem well positioned to enter this
market due to its similarities with the microfinance
clientele.

45

During the year 2012, the State Bank of Pakistan has


revised the loan limits for MFBs from PKR 150,000 to
PKR 500,000 in order to promote enterprise lending.
Furthermore, the State Bank also initiated the SME
Guarantee Fund during the same period. The purpose
of the fund was to facilitate MFBs in raising capital
from financial institutions in order to move up-market.
With the introduction of the above mentioned government initiatives, majority of the MFBs have been
successfully piloting microenterprise lending and are
continuously improving their product offerings to
fully cater the niche market. Many MFBs are in the
process of establishing dedicated departments for
MSE lending and have also trained their staff with

the necessary skills for serving the needs small enterprises.


However, this shift will represent some challenges to
MFPs lacking expertise in larger enterprise lending.
It requires significant up-scaling of loan sizes from
the present average loan of PKR 28,269 . In order to
fully capture the enterprise segment, MFBs will need
to treat micro and small enterprise clients differently from the conventional retail segment. Emphasis
should be on product development that can fulfill the
requirements of small enterprises while not burdening the resources of the microfinance banks.
Moreover, the focus of conventional microfinance
has been on household repayment capacity which
will now have to shift to the enterprises repayment
capacity. This will require investment into understanding the demands and needs of the market segment, building a different skill set amongst field staff,
finding sources of funds to meet the financing needs
driven by the relatively larger loan sizes, and understanding the risks.
Despite many challenges, MFPs might bring important advantages to the MSE market. Compared to
mainstream banks, MFPs may have closer relationships with their customers, maintaining a high level of trust and making it easy to understand client

needs. Another advantage is that MFPs often have


faster lending procedures and require less collateral than commercial banks. Finally, MFPs can reach
customers who do not have access to banks or who

face serious obstacles, such as their own informality


or high bank fees.

Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Customer Due Diligence


(CDD) and Terrorist Financing
Over the past year, the SBP has taken comprehensive
measures to combat money laundering and terrorist financing activities. These measures were visible
in the revision of prudential regulations for MFBs
in 2014 which introduced a broad set of guidelines
covering areas such as customer identification and
verification requirements, ongoing and enhanced due
diligence, record retention, cash and suspicious transactions reporting in line with standards prescribed by
Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Moreover, SBP
has allowed MFBs to take additional measures as per
risk involved in line with the FATF recommendations.
The AML and CDD requirements may entail some
MFBs to enhance their internal controls by updating
their client in-take forms, operating procedures, and
information systems. Similarly, training staff in new
procedures is vital to the successful implementation

of the AML and CDD guidelines. In addition, these


regulations would impact branchless banking where
operators are aiming for convenience and hassle
opening of m-wallets. This would require balancing
of AML and CDD requirements with ease of opening
of accounts.
The guidelines introduced by SBP are aimed to safeguard MFBs from the threat of money laundering,
terrorist financing and other related unlawful activities which can damage the national financial system.
Illegitimate financial holdings and assets are unreliable sources of investment capital for sustainable
economic development and can destabilize the national economy.

Agriculture is the backbone of the economy for majority of the developing countries. The potential of
this segment becomes fully clear if we look at the
value chains that link farm production to rural trading
and other sectors of the economy. These chains show
that farmers do not operate in isolation, but are part
of a wider system which encompasses processors,
traders, transporters, input suppliers and retailers.
However, the lack of financing limits the growth potential of different micro-entrepreneurs at different
parts of the value chain. Private financial institutions
have tended to regard such micro-entrepreneurs as
un-bankable as they lack the kind of collateral and
guarantees banks demand before lending. For bankers it is easier and more lucrative to provide a handful
of large loans to well-established businesses, rather
than lots of small loans to such micro-entrepreneurs.
In Pakistan, the State Bank of Pakistan is taking
commendable steps to ensure the success of value

chains by facilitating various chain actors. A component of these initiatives is the Value-Chain Contract
Farmer Financing scheme to build a link between
banks and small farmers who have no access to formal financing .
The introduction of the Value Chain Contract Farmer
Financing scheme will enable farmers to avail financing from banks backed by a processors guarantee
and in return buyers/processors may get assurance
of getting required quantity and quality of agricultural produce. Under the scheme, banks will be accepting guarantees from a lead firm acting as a bridge
between banks and farmers. The term lead firm applies to the processors of agricultural produce, input
suppliers, stockist, a marketing company, trader or
exporter.

Agriculture Value Chains

Furthermore, SBP has also introduced Warehouse


46

Financial Services for all

Section 3

Pakistan Microfinance Review 2014

Receipt Financing to reduce uncertainty and increase


efficiency in the agriculture market. The warehouse
receipts system, also known as inventory credits, can
facilitate financing for inventory or products held in
storage. Warehouse receipt financing is a collateralized commodity transaction where the goods themselves provide security for the loan. This type of financing allows lenders to immediately sell off a very
liquid asset, namely the commodities they grow, if a

47

farmer defaults on the loan. The underlying collateral is usually a soft commodity like wheat, rice, maize,
cotton and other grains .
On the whole, agriculture value chains provide an
ideal platform to extend credit in the rural areas at a
relatively lower cost and reduced risk for the MFPs.

Annex D Adjustments to Financial Data

Annex D
Adjustments to
Financial Data
Rationale
Adjustments to financial statements are made when doing benchmark analysis. Adjustments are made for two
primary reasons:

To give an institution a more accurate picture of its financial position, by accounting for factors unique to
an MFP including the predominance of below-market-rate funding sources. Such factors distort an MFPs
on-going performance.
To make the data of various MFPs comparable. Thus, adjustments are made in order to bring organizations
operating under varying conditions and with varying levels of subsidy onto a level playing field.

The following adjustments are made to data used for the PMR:

A. Inflation Adjustment
Inflation adjustment adjusts for the effect of inflation on an MFPs equity and non-monetary assets i.e., fixed
assets. Inflation decreases the real value of an MFPs equity. Fixed assets are capable of tracking the increase in
price levels; their monetary value is increased. The net loss (or gain) is considered to be a cost of funds, and results
in a decrease (or increase) in net operating income.

Inflation adjustment revenue

Net Fixed Assets (Prior Year) X Average Annual Inflation Rate (Current Financial Year)

Inflation adjustment expense

Equity (Prior Year) X Average Annual Inflation Rate (Current Year)

Net inflation adjustment expense

Inflation Adjusted Revenue Inflation Adjusted Expense

B. Subsidies adjustment
Adjustments for three types of subsidies are made:
A cost-of-funds subsidy from loans at below-market rates

Annexures

Current year cash donations to fund portfolio and cover expenses


In-kind subsidies, such as rent-free office space or the services of personnel not paid by the MFP and thus not
reflected on its income statement.

Additionally, for multipurpose MFPs, an attempt to isolate the performance of the financial services program is
made by removing the effect of any cross-subsidization. Cash donations flowing through the income statement
are accounted for by reclassifying them below net operating income on the income statement. Thus, adjustments
for cash donations are not made since these are handled through a direct reclassification on the income statement. This year no MFP has disclosed receipt of in-kind subsidy.

B.1 Cost-of-funds subsidy


The cost-of-funds adjustment reflects the impact of soft loans on the financial performance of an MFP. The analyst needs to calculate the difference between what an MFP actually paid in interest on its subsidized liabilities
and a shadow market rate for each country. This difference represents the value of the subsidy, considered an additional financial expense. Only funds received as loans need to be adjusted. Client deposits are not adjusted. Only
loans that have a finite (1-5 years) term length are adjusted. Subordinated debt and other quasi-equity accounts
are reclassified as other equity on the balance sheet.
Care is taken in the choice of an appropriate shadow rate thus, PMN has used the KIBOR rate on outstanding loans
as reported by the State Bank of Pakistan on its website (12.5%) to make this adjustment.
Calculation of cost-of-funds subsidy
1. Calculate average balance for all borrowings. Borrowings do not include deposits or other liabilities. If an MFI
has given an average balance, see if this is more appropriate to use; if not, calculate average from last years
ending balance.
2. Multiply the average balance by the shadow market rate
3. Compare with the amount actually paid in interest and fees. If less market rate, impute the difference (market price minus Financial Expense paid on Borrowings) to the Subsidized Cost of Funds Adjustment Expense

B.2 Cash donations

Pakistan Microfinance Review 2014

Funds donated to cover operational costs constitute a direct subsidy to an MFP. The value of the subsidy is therefore, equal to the amount donated to cover expenses incurred in the period reported. Some donations are provided
to cover operating shortfall over a period greater than one year. Only the amount spent in the year is recorded on
the income statement as revenue. Any amount still to be used in subsequent years appears as a liability on the
balance sheet (deferred revenue). This occurs because theoretically, if an MFP stopped operations in the middle
of a multi-year operating grant, it would have to return the unused portion of the grant to the donor. The unused
amount is therefore, considered as a liability.

153

Funds donated to pay for operations should be reported on the income statement separately from the revenue
generated by lending and investment activities. This practice is meant for accurately reporting the earned revenue
of an MFP. Donated funds are deducted from revenue or net income prior to any financial performance analysis
because they do not represent revenue earned from operations.
Note: Costs incurred to obtain donor funds (fundraising costs) should also be separated from operating expenses,
because the benefit of receiving the funds is not included.

B.3 In-kind subsidy


Imputed cost (book value) of donated/loaned-out vehicles, machinery and buildings need to be included in operating expenses. Expatriate staff salaries paid by donor or parent company, or other technical assistance, need to be
accounted for. Here, imputed salaries are used instead of salaries actually received by them i.e., the salary range
that a local hire would get for the same level of work-load/position is used.
Note: The analyst must use his/her judgment in deciding whether or not the in-kind donation represents a key
input to the on-going operations of the MFP. An appropriate basis for valuation is important. This could include

selecting a percentage of the total cost and attributing it to program expense. The percentage may be selected on
the basis of sales proportion, management input, etc.
Calculation of in-kind subsidy
Sum of in-kind subsidies by operating expense account, added to unadjusted numbers for each account.

C. Loan loss provisioning


PMN standardizes loan loss provisioning for MFPs to a minimum threshold or risk. MFPs vary tremendously in accounting for loan delinquency. Some count the entire loan balance as overdue the day a payment is missed. Others
do not consider a loan delinquent until its full term has expired. Some MFPs write off bad debt within one year of
the initial delinquency, while others never write off bad loans, thus carrying forward a default that they have little
chance of ever recovering.
The analyst applies a standard loan loss provisioning to all MFPs and adjusts, where necessary, to bring them to
the minimum threshold. In some cases, these adjustments may not be precise. Portfolio aging information may
only be available on different aging scales.
Calculation of loan loss provisioning

Step 1:

Multiply the PAR age categories by the following reserve factors:


PAR up to 89 days no provisioning
PAR 91 180 x 0.50
PAR 181 360 x 1.00
Renegotiated loans x 0.50

Step 2:

Sum above reserve calculations. If sum is more than current reserves make calculated reserve new Loan Loss
Reserve. If not, keep current reserves.

Step 3:

Add the Unadjusted Loan Loss Provision Expense to the difference between the Adjusted Net Loan Portfolio and
the Unadjusted Net Loan Portfolio. This is the Adjusted Loan Loss Provision Expense.
