Mix And The Value Of Comparitive Analysis

The document summarizes information from the Microfinance Information Exchange (MIX) about trends in the Asian microfinance sector. It shows that the Philippines rural bank sector leads in size and outreach compared to regional peers. While a hypothetical "MIX Super Bank" achieves high returns through strong portfolio yield and asset allocation, its high salary costs lead to greater expenses. Overall the analysis finds the Asian microfinance industry has grown steadily with stable performance, though returns are increasing in the Philippines.
