1 MicroWATCH A quarterly update on microfinance OUTREACH in Pakistan ISSUE 9: QUARTER (JULSEP 8) U nlike the previous two quarters, the sector's growth in microcredit decelerated marginally in the third quarter of 8 as active borrowers grew by only 7 percent. This decline was more pronounced in terms of value than active borrowers, coming down to 9 percent from the 9 percent growth of the last quarter. In absolute 8Q terms also, the net increase in active borrowers was the lowest this year. This is attributable to Increase (Net) which after being the biggest contributor to sector expansion over the past few months Increase (%) posted its lowest absolute increase in active borrowers for this year i.e. 9, compared to 8, for the past three months. In other s, BRAC continued its rapid expansion and posted the highest percentage increase in active borrowers for the second consecutive quarter. In terms of active borrowers, rural support programs (RSPs) maintained their position as the dominant peer group (for definitions of peer groups please refer to the back cover of the report), while microfinance banks (MFBs) marginally increased their market share once again. This steady expansion of MFBs is due largely to the modest yet consistent growth of. Most of the credit indicators remained essentially the same: group lending heavily outweighed individual lending and the urban/rural divide tilted slightly in favor of rural borrowers. As female focused s have slowed expansion, the gender distribution of the sector's borrowers has once again begun to favor the male clients compared to December 7 and March 8 when the sector posted an even gender distribution of the borrowers' portfolio. Bahawalpur once again emerged as the most active microfinance market with the highest penetration rate of all districts, with Lahore as a close second. The overall penetration rate in the country increased. Growth in savings picked up in terms of active savers, increasing to 7 percent from the percent in the last quarter. Interestingly however, growth in the overall value of savings decreased significantly, falling to 6 percent from the percent posted previously. This dip can be accredited to as the bank only added Rs. 7 million to its deposits compared to Rs. 5 million in the second quarter. The biggest contributor in terms of increase in active savers was once again, which continues to dominate the market with a 54.4 percent share. Largely because of this, RSPs continued to be the dominant peer group in terms of active savers, despite marginal increases in the market shares for MFBs and NGOs. Microinsurance outreach once again posted astronomical growth with an increase of 6 percent in policy holders, and 6 percent in insured sum. However it is important to note that made a few adjustments in the reporting of its insurance portfolio (see end notes). The apparent growth, therefore, is more indicative of these adjustments as opposed to an actual increase in insurance outreach. Similarly, growth in the share for RSPs in terms of policy holders and insured sum, as well as 's share in the market, are also largely accountable to the abovementioned adjustments. Another major change was the increase in the market share for Khushhali Bank () 6.4 percent from the 8. percent posted last quarter. As with, this is largely due to alterations in their reporting rather than actual growth (see end notes). 's apparent growth is the major reason the gender distribution favored female policy holders more than the previous quarter as their share rose to 64 percent from 59 percent. With a percent increase in policy holders, Bahawalnagar emerged as the district with the highest percentage growth; followed closely by Bahawalpur at 9.5 percent.
