Microfinance industry likely to grow at 20-22% in current fiscal: ICRA

24 Apr 2019 Evaluate

Highlighting good growth prospects, credit rating agency, ICRA in its latest report has said that the microfinance industry (MFI) is expected to grow at 20-22% in the current fiscal. The rating agency estimated Rs 3,500-4,700 crore of capital requirement for the industry over the next three years.

According to the report, the asset quality indicators of the microfinance industry should be supported by ensuring stringent group selection/elimination norms and adequate credit discipline at the borrower level. Further, it said that the segment remains vulnerable to income shocks, political interference, and event risks and the credit costs for the sector are likely to remain volatile with a mean level of 1.5-2 percent annualized.

Besides, the rating agency said that investors continued to support the MFI with equity infusion of around Rs 4,350 crore in FY19 as against Rs 4,100 crore in FY18. It said that more than 90% of the capital raised in the last fiscal was by the MFI with assets under management (AUMs) of greater than Rs 1,000 crore. This implies that larger entities have been able to attract capital, while the smaller less-diversified entities continue to struggle on this front.
