Global Microfinance Investment Conference

February 4, 2009 No Comments

gmclogoPlaNet Finance will be hosting the annual Global Microfinance Investment Conference in New York on May 19th and 20th. The event draws the heavy lifters in microfinance: funders, executives, and government representatives who facilitate the vast majority of the loan capital for microfinance institutions.

I will be reporting from the event and encourage you to attend if you are interested in finding loan capital for your MFI, if you are looking to invest in microfinance on a large scale or as an institution, or if you are interested in connecting with others in the microfinance investment community.

Here is a quick blurb about the event from the conference sponsors:

“In an era of increased economic uncertainty, Microfinance remains a powerful and growing sector. But as the market matures, it raises new questions about future investment strategies and sources of finance. Join your peers at the only event that brings together the key players from the investment and banking community with Microfinance networks and funds.
