Bellon, Fotis ; Gutiérrez Chvalkovská, Jana (advisor) ; Inostroza Pino, Luis Ernesto (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the debate on microfinance commercialization, using the case of Chile. Another purpose of this thesis consists in mapping the field of microfinance in Chile. The hypothesis that is examined in this study is whether the commercialization of microfinance in Chile has brought opportunities and trade-offs with respect to poverty alleviation in the country. The methodology used in order to gain understanding of several aspects of commercialization of the microfinance sector in Chile is descriptive statistics accompanied by a qualitative analysis of the demand side of microfinance. To this end, interviews were conducted with several microfinance institutions and specialists. The results of the study indicate that the commercialization of microfinance in Chile has indeed brought opportunities and trade-offs with respect to poverty alleviation in Chile. Two opportunities that this study defines, are the increase in the scale of outreach and the increase of geographical outreach. Secondly, in contrast to these opportunities, a tendency for the commercialized microfinance institutions to pay less attention to the poorest segment of the Chilean population, is defined as a trade-off of the commercialization of microfinance.
Microfinance and microcredits in developing countries
Adamcová, Eva ; Zetek, Pavel (advisor)
The main objective of the baccalaureate thesis is to compare through selected financial analysis ratios two leading approaches to financing the low-income population of the third world. The first approach is based on financial self-sufficiency of microfinancial institutions, the second is dependent on obtaining grants and donations. It was found out that financially self-sufficient institutions are able to serve more clients and have higher repayment rate on loans than non-self-sufficient institutions, however both types have lower portfolio at risk and write-off ratio than commercial banks. The work also deals with history of microfinance, its benefits such as positive impacts on health and education or possible drawbacks, e.g. abuse of power by group leaders. The globalization of the world's microfinancial system is taken into account in determination of alternative source for financing the microentrepreneurs, namely participation of small investors via internet.
