0

Relaunch focuses on rich data visualization and downloadable data

The launch of the new MIX Market is a big win for open data in international development, and it vastly improves how rich financial data sets can be accessed. The MIX Market is like a Bloomberg for microfinance, publishing data on more than 1,500 microfinance institutions (MFIs) in more than 190 countries and affecting 80,021,351 people. Additionally, each MFI has as many as 150 financial indicators and in some cases going back as far as 1995. The goal of this tool is simple - to open this information up to help MFIs, researchers, raters, evaluators, and governmental and regulatory agencies better see the marketplace, and that makes for better international development.

There are profiles for every country that the MIX Market is hosting. Take a look at the country landing page for India, showing how India stacks up to other peer groups and listing out all MFIs, networks, and funders and service providers.

Country profiles give a quick overview of the performance of its microfinance institutions.
