This story comes to us here at MicroCapital.org courtesy of the May 2007 CGAP-MIX Capital Markets Update Newsletter. Oikocredit, based in the Netherlands, made a USD 50,500 equity investment in CAP Microfinance, which does not report to the MIX Market, the microfinance information clearinghouse. This equity investment is not typical of Oikocredit which supports sustainable microfinance institutions (MFIs) mainly through loans, but is not without precedent.
