InFiNe.lu participated in Convergences World Forum where the Microfinance Barometer is traditionally launched.
The 10th edition of the Barometer analyses the key figures of the evolution of the financial inclusion sector and its main trends.

The digital revolution is still ongoing and is clearly the key to transforming the sector.

In 2017, 60% of MFIs were experimenting in some ways with digital channels. 2018 has seen services multiplied by 9 by digital.
