Microfinance in China

This is a compendium of papers compiled in 2008 by World Microfinance Forum Geneva (WMFG) that describe the present and possible future states of microfinance in China. The compendium is part of the intellectual input into two events that WMFG organized in 2008, namely a workshop on investment in inclusive finance in China, and an international symposium in Geneva on the same topic. 

The papers in the compendium examine policy and regulatory framework, demand and supply of microfinance products and services, and role of networks and patterns of cooperation. These papers can be read on the following pages of the downloadable compendium:
