Introduction Inflation affects different segments of the population very differently, a fact often forgotten by most people s the inflation rate in Pakistan crosses 25 and often exaggerated or misrepresented in the percent per annum — the highest in almost media. In general, inflation affects the rich far less Athree decades — there is justifiable concern than the poor, where the rich hold greater assets and that the Pakistani citizen, particularly the poor, will have higher incomes which let them adjust to rising suffer the most and will bear the severest brunt of prices. Salaried individuals tend to be affected a great this economic crisis. Moreover, along with rising deal by inflation as their salaries tend to be ‘sticky’ prices, indications suggest that Pakistan’s economy and often do not rise in proportion to inflation or at is also facing serious constraints and the high growth the same speed. In contrast to salaried individuals, rates between 2002 – 2007 may have slowed down inflation affects many categories of producers in a considerably, affecting economic opportunities for all, neutral manner or can benefit them. For example, to but particularly for the poor. Pakistan Microfinance maintain their profit margins, many producers pass Network in Islamabad has commissioned this study in on all price increases as they take place. Based on the order to understand and document the impact of a elasticity of demand for their product or service this slowing economy and in particular, of rising inflation may result in higher or lower profits, or no change. on microfinance clients. Inflation, in ‘traditional’ or agricultural societies, is considered to be an urban phenomenon far more This short report highlights findings based on than it is a rural one based on assumptions such as discussions with 245 microfinance clients, both men rural populations produce a great deal of what they and women, from very wide and diverse backgrounds, consume, and that they have less access to ‘modern’ and with the staff of microfinance providers (such as facilities, commodities and goods (such as consumer loan or credit officers) who interact with these clients items and utilities), the price for which often rise at the local, first contact, level and are far more aware fastest. Similarly, there is also a marked difference on about the conditions of their clients than are middle savers and borrowers, which has implications for this and senior management officers. It is important to study and on microfinance clients more generally. state at the outset that this study is not an overview or Savers suffer as the purchasing power of their assessment of the microfinance sector, of microfinance monetary assets dwindle in value, whereas those who clients, or of microfinance institutions or providers.

This study tries to highlight where and how both trends persist Inflation is the phenomenon where prices rise. Hence, amongst microfinance clients. inflation is not at all an uncommon feature of any economy. In fact, low or manageable levels of inflation — depending on the nature of the economy — are highly beneficial to suppliers and producers and act as an incentive to produce.

In investment vehicles, coupled with a reduction in other cases, the borrowers feel the need to establish risk appetite by lenders. The inability to refinance on new ventures to make ends meet, creating additional attractive terms, or in some cases at all, will likely slow funding pressure for MFIs.

Comparing Definitions The SDI model has been proposed and fleshed out In this section, we break down the formulas for FSS by Yaron and others in a series of papers.1 The SDI is and SDI to try to understand each model in terms of ‘designed to measure the self-sustainability level of the other.3 The formula for FSS can be stated simply as: the MFI with a single number.’ To measure this, SDI enumerates a range of subsidies potentially received FSS = (Adjusted Revenue / Adjusted Expense) (1) by an MFI (on an annual basis) and compares the total subsidy to the income received by the MFI on its loan portfolio. The comparison of total subsidy and income However, MBB policy makes only small adjustments from loans (in the form of the SDI) yields two results: to revenue, so the adjustments primarily affect the denominator of this indicator.

(Adjustments + Expense) Donations Revenue The fact that SDI includes these types of ‘exogenous’ (7) SDI = Revenue + Revenue – Revenue factors, like donations (or as we will see later, reserve requirements), indicates a different view of the world. SDI views donations as having a social cost — money SDI = (1/FSS – 1) + Donations/Revenue (9) that could be reallocated elsewhere — and thus it includes donations in evaluating MFI performance. While this approximation oversimplifies both models, it preserves the main insights. The approximation also Consequently SDI may be more appropriate for those holds up when we apply this to actual MFI data.

In macroeconomic factors as in the MBB for calculating general, we see that FSS is more ‘generous’ than SDI as it both SDI and FSS.6 classifies a higher percentage of MFIs as self-sufficient, although this is not always the case. This should not Tables 1 – 3 display the total numbers of MFIs, be surprising given the formula breakdown earlier. borrowers and savers covered by self-sufficient Whenever the level of donations is significant, FSS (FSS > 1) or subsidy-independent (SDI < 0) institutions will be more generous than SDI.7 In addition, from the in this period.

6 While this differs from the treatment recommended by Yaron and Manos, it is done to preserve comparability at this stage. In the full MIX research paper, more adjustments and parameters are evaluated for FSS and SDI, and both indices are re-calculated using different parameters. 7 Because of formula (9), one could also consider ‘FSS generosity’ to be an index of the level of donation inflows to MFIs globally. 8 It is worth noting that the sample used here is an unbalanced panel data set. It reflects the rapid growth of the MBB sample over time (from less than 250 in 2003 to almost 900 in 2007), generally to include smaller or newer institutions. Consequently, we should expect the differences between the indicators to be more apparent as the sample increases non-randomly over time in scope. (Or alternatively, we would expect the indicators to be more similar on a balanced panel data set that tracks the same institutions for all years.) 9 We might expect that there would be similar market premiums in both cases for lending to or saving with an MFI.

Overview of Benchmark Data

By the third quarter of 2008, as the financial crisis was consuming large investment and commercial banks and the flow of credit dried up, the microfinance community asked itself how the crisis in the broader economy would impact microfinance institutions (MFIs). Evidence from analysis1 of past crises has shown that MFIs have weathered earlier financial sector upheavals in Asia and Latin America with only slight increases in arrears and a negligible rise in actual credit default. Yet, microfinance institutions have changed substantially since those crises of the late 1990s. Sustained growth rates of 25 percent or more have become the norm in many countries since 2000, bringing more MFIs face-to-face with each other in many local markets. To finance this growth in loan portfolio, MFIs have turned from their earlier public funding sources towards their clients and external creditors, both domestic and foreign. Retail deposits and, for a growing number of MFIs, domestic and cross-border debt enabled these sustained growth rates in the lending portfolios. Forthcoming 2008 operational and financial results will yield early insights into the impact of the current crisis on MFIs, but an analysis of the preceding years will describe the stage as it was set before the crisis began in full. What, then, were the salient evolutions in years leading up to the crisis? This analysis highlights several key trends that MFIs underwent in the 2005 – 2007 period. The publication of MIX’s Trend Lines 2005 – 2007 MFI Benchmarks offers readers the first quantitative view on MFI operational and financial performance in that period. Covering a pool of 487 MFIs , these benchmarks represent microfinance in 78 countries. Taken together, these MFIs represent 82 percent of outstanding loans and 75 percent of borrowers at the end of 2007, a robust prism through which to view the evolutions in microfinance institutions in the lead up to the financial crisis. In addition, this analysis draws on a new data set of funding liabilities for microfinance institutions as of 2007. Benchmarks and further analysis of that data set are forthcoming.

In comparison, similar MFIs that lend only their equity The Bulletin adjusts for three types of subsidies: (1) a have no interest expense and therefore have lower cost-of-funds subsidy from loans at below-market operating costs. If an MFI focuses on sustainability rates, (2) current-year cash donations to fund portfolio and the maintenance of its capital/asset ratio, it and cover expenses, and (3) in-kind subsidies, must increase the size of its equity in nominal terms such as rent-free office space or the services of to continue to make the same value of loans in real personnel who are not paid by the MFI and thus not (inflation-adjusted) terms. Inflation increases the reflected on its income statement. Additionally, for cost of tangible items over time, so that a borrower multipurpose institutions, the MicroBanking Bulletin needs more money to purchase them.

Employees’ salaries go up with subsidization. inflation, so the average loan balance and portfolio must increase to compensate, assuming no increase The cost-of-funds adjustment reflects the impact of soft in interest margin. Therefore, an institution that funds loans on the financial performance of the institution. its loans with its equity must maintain the real value of The Bulletin calculates the difference between what that equity, and pass along the cost of doing so to the the MFI actually paid in interest on its subsidized client. This expectation implies MFIs should charge liabilities and what it would have paid at market terms.3 interest rates that include the inflation adjustment This difference represents the value of the subsidy, expense as a cost of funds, even if this cost is not which we treat as an additional financial expense. We actually paid to anyone outside the institution. apply this subsidy adjustment to the average balance of borrowings carried by the MFI over the year. The Some countries with high or volatile levels of inflation decreased profit is offset by generating a “cost of funds require businesses to use inflation-based accounting on adjustment” account on the balance sheet. their audited financial statements. We use a proxy of this same technique in the Bulletin. Of course, we understand If the MFI passes on the interest rate subsidy to its that in countries where high or volatile inflation is a clients through a lower final rate of interest, this new experience, MFIs may find it difficult to pass on the adjustment may result in an operating loss.

Subsidies Loan Loss Provisioning We adjust participating institutions’ financial Finally, we apply standardized policies for loan loss statements for the effect of subsidies by presenting provisioning and write-off. MFIs vary tremendously them as they would look on an unsubsidized basis. These adjustments do not intend to suggest that MFIs 3 Data for shadow interest rates are obtained from line 60l of should or should not be subsidized. Rather, they allow the International Financial Statistics, IMF, various years. The the Bulletin to see how each MFI would look without deposit rate is used because it is a published benchmark in subsidies for comparative purposes. Most of the most countries. Sound arguments can be made for use of different shadow interest rates. NGOs that wish to borrow from participating MFIs indicate a desire to grow beyond banks would face interest significantly higher than the deposit rate.

Others do not consider a loan delinquent within one year of their becoming delinquent. (Note: until its full term has expired. Some MFIs write off We apply these provisioning and write-off policies for bad debt within one year of the initial delinquency, benchmarking purposes only. We do not recommend while others never write off bad loans, thus carrying that all MFIs use exactly the same policies.) In most forward a defaulted loan that they have little chance cases, these adjustments are a rough approximation of ever recovering. of risk. They are intended only to create a minimal even playing field for cross institutional comparison We classify as “at risk” any loan with a payment over 90 and benchmarking. Nevertheless, most participating days late. We provision 50 percent of the outstanding MFIs have high-quality loan portfolios; so, loan loss balance for loans between 90 and 180 days late, and 100 provision expense is not an important contributor to percent for loans over 180 days late.
