The Economist Intelligence Unit's study on Global microscope on the
microfinance business environment 2011 ranks the Philippines at the top,
with Pakistan, in Regulatory Framework and Practices category globally.
This assessment suggests a strong regulatory environment and good
possibility for microfinance institutions to enter the industry and
operate well.
The Philippines is also number one in regional rankings for East and
South Asia; and sixth overall in microfinance business environment
rankings. The result is indicative of the strong Regulatory Framework
and Practices and Supporting Institutional Framework of the country.
Stability was an adjustment factor on the scores of the 55 countries in
the study.
Indicators for the assessment are regulation and supervision of
microcredit portfolios, formation/operation of non-regulated microcredit
institutions, and regulatory and supervisory capacity for microfinance
among other gauge in the Regulatory Framework and Practices category.
Supporting Institutional Framework indicators include transparency in
pricing and dispute resolution which are principles of client
protection, and credit bureaus.
