MFTransparency, founded in July of 2008 as part of a global initiative to promote transparent pricing in the microfinance industry, has launched a blog to complement its website. The blog will provide an informal venue where MFTransparency can discuss its “insight into transparency initiatives as well as developments in the broader microfinance industry.” Viewers are invited to comment on posts and share their opinions.
Initial blog posts have addressed microfinance in Haiti and the correlation between loan size and portfolio yield in Russia, Mexico and India.
