PrintThe long-term outlook for equity investment in microfinance is positive, despite the financial crisis, says J.P. Morgan and CGAP (Consultative Group to Assist the Poor), a microfinance group based at the World Bank.
The analysis comes in a joint report, "Shedding Light on Equity Valuation: Past and Present," that challenges conventional approaches to equity valuation in microfinance and establishes the first benchmarks for microfinance equity valuations. After a downturn in 2009, the report predicts that valuations will bounce back in 2010.
