Delinquency Management and Interest Rate Setting

  

   

Based on the premise that microfinance institutions (MFIs) have to be sustainable for long-term impact, the Delinquency Management and Interest Rate Setting course concentrates on two areas that are especially important for MFI managers: controlling delinquency and defaults and determining a sustainable interest rate. During this three to four-day course, participants learn to determine causes and costs of delinquency, to measure and control arrears, to calculate the costs of credit for clients, among other skills, through exercises, group activities and case study analysis.
