1. BackgroundReview of international academic literature on
microfinance. Particular interest in the debate about potential trade-off
between MF financial sustainability and poverty reduction. Cull et al (2007): 124 MFs in 49 countries. Evidence of
trade-off based on loan methodology (group vs individual), MFI size and age. Larger and older individual-based MFIs performed worse on outreach to clients.
Mersland and Strom (2008): 32 NGOs, 68 private MFIs, in 54 countries. They find little evidence of importance of ownership but regulation matters.
Karlan and Morduch (2010): Financial inclusion. From simplest form (micro-credit) to broader inclusion (savings, insurance, remittances, etc). Links with poverty.

2. The importance of the studyOne of the first studies on financial inclusion –
taken as a specific subject of research. Applied to one of the most dynamic
microfinance markets in the world, i.e. Peru. Obtained exclusive information about financial
inclusion of all regulated MFIs in Peru. We employ the simplest concept of financial
inclusion, i.e. access to micro-credit. The determinants include: MFIs’
characteristics (i.e. size, age, branches); performance; strategic alliances

5. Hypothesis and Empirical modelResearch questions: How far has the Peruvian population
gained financial access to microfinance? Main hypothesis:
Financ.incl. = f(MFI charact; MFI profitab.; MFI social perf.; (+) (-) (+)
MFI strateg connect, econ sectors, ). (+) (¿?)
Methodological issues:Main variablesData basesEmpirical model

Positive correlation between newly-bankable clients (TOTPERS) and MFI profitability (ROE, rTOTPERS, ROE= 0.73), number of MFI branches (NSUC, rTOTPERS,NSUC= 0.92) and the MFI total asset value (ASSETS, rTOTPERS,ASSETS= 0.95).

Positive relationship between the newly-banked clients and the value of total assets of MFI: For each million of New Soles increasing the MFI assets, around seven new clients will be banked, ceteris paribus.
Positive relationship between the newly-banked clients and the number of MFI branches: For each new MFI branch open, around 64 new clients will be banked, ceteris paribus.
Number of newly-banked clients closely associated to the MFI growth in Assets and # Branches; still estimated values are small.
