Microfinance Information Exchange

Since its founding in 2002, MIX had built the digital information infrastructure needed to bring greater transparency to financial sectors serving low-income populations in emerging markets, including providing market data on over 3,000 financial services providers (FSPs).

MIX also produces a variety of publications covering the sector such as Barometer Forecast, Annual Benchmark Reports, and Quarterly Factsheets, as well as a number of ad hoc publications each year like the Global Outreach and Financial Performance Benchmark Report.

Examples of efforts to support the healthy development of financial markets through better information include One Acre Fund's Smallholder Finance Product Explorer,[4] the Council on Smallholder Agricultural Finance's State of the Sector[5] report and analysis, and the CGAP Cross Border Funder Survey;[6] all are initiatives supported by MIX's custom data analytics.

Those financial service providers total 116.6 million borrowers, corresponding to a gross loan portfolio of USD 92.4 billion.

These financial service providers also have savings products that reach 98.4 million depositors and account for USD 58.9 billion in deposits.
