  • Cleaning up the microfinance sector, with forty-six (46) licensed institutions in 2023, compared to 62 in 2015;
  • The cleanup of the microfinance sector has contributed to improving the financial situation, particularly the quality of the loan portfolio and the strengthening of equity;
  • However, the recorded dynamism includes:
    • four hundred twenty-five (425) service points distributed across the national territory in 2023, compared to three hundred twenty-seven (327) in 2015;
    • 2,309,469 members or clients assessed at the end of 2023 compared to 1,009,440 at the end of 2015;
  • Increase in activity volume indicators both in terms of collected savings and granted loans;
  • Loans primarily directed towards the Commerce and Hospitality sectors. However, financing for the agriculture, transport, and construction sectors has shown good dynamism in recent years.
