Three regions -- South Asia (SA), Europe and Central Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean -- still receive the highest amounts of cross-border funding.

The regional allocation of funding for microfinance is changing. Commitments to Europe and Central Asia declined during 2009-2011 while commitments to Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, and East Asia and the Pacific increased during the same period.
DFIs are the largest type of cross-border funders and most commonly provide debt to finance the loan portfolios of retail providers. During the period 2009 to 2011, their commitments grew at a slower rate as compared to 2007 to 2009.
