The bi-annual EMN magazine provides clear insights into European microfinance programmes, with a specific focus on policy measures that could support the development of the sector. Its in-depth articles offer up-to-date commentary on what is happening in the different European countries, how policies and practices are implemented and evolving, and what recommendations can be made by practitioners, researchers and academics to promote microfinance and microenterprise development in the European Union.

In this edition, subjects include asset building and microfinance, creating and investing in asset building throughout Europe and its policy dimensions, micro-insurance as a way to cover risk for small entrepreneurs and the adaptation of the "individual development account" methodology in Hungary.
