On 9 February, EMN and the Microfinance Centre are announce the official release of their core publication Microfinance in Europe: Survey Report (2020 Edition).
Covering 143 institutions from 29 countries, this Survey Report presents a detailed snapshot of the microfinance sector up until the very beginning of the COVID19 crisis, with information gathered in 2018-2019. However, based on additional data collected during the first semester of 2020, we were also able to produce a chapter on the preliminary impact of the pandemic on European MFIs. While the effects of the current crisis remain largely uncertain, this unique scope makes this Survey Report the most comprehensive and up-to-date source of information available at the moment.
