Abstract

Microfinance institutions (MFIs) play a significant role in the financial industry in developed and developing countries.These institutions are known for their social and economic contributions in many countries. Notwithstanding their social as well as economic importance, information and research on MFIs remained not only limited but rather also attracted fragmented research interest.Despite their pivotal role in the financial industry, the literature indicates minimal theoretical as well as empirical studies on business practices adopted by MFIs.Drawing from the review of the literature and past studies, this paper specifically identifies and reviews five business practices that are considered essential to the performance as well as financial viability of MFIs.
