Microfinance Index 2024

The Microfinance Index is a landmark financial inclusion study that provides high-quality, comparable impact data for the microfinance industry, driven entirely by client voices. This annual initiative has expanded to collect more than 1.4 million unique global data points in 2024.

The 2024 MFI Index includes data from more than 126 participating financial service providers (FSPs) and is supported by 27 Partners. Now in its third year, the 2024 Microfinance Index has surveyed 36,000+ microfinance clients in 45 countries representing 32 million people globally, with deeper dives into client protection, gender impact, and climate resilience. This year’s survey gathers quantitative and qualitative data along six key dimensions of impact, including Access, Business Impact, Household Impact, Client Protection, Resilience, and Agency.
