| Abstract: | We analyze the process by which banks enter the microcredit market while still engaging in traditional credit practices. For this we study a competitive credit market with adverse selection, where lenders are endowed with a screening technology capable of extracting an informative signal about a borrower's quality if enough time is devoted to process the loan application. The time necessary for signal extraction depends on the borrower's informational transparency. In the presence of opaque and transparent borrowers, depending on economy parameters, either a separating equilibrium with standard credit or microcredit prevails or a pooling equilibrium with either loan contract prevails. |

In the microfinance sector, the definition of performance varies according to the purpose of the MFI : Is it to reach the maximum of the poor, or to achieve sustainability and financial performance ? The framework for analyzing the performance of MFIs has become a very broad field thanks to the remarkable growth experienced by the microfinance sector. In this work we chose the case of the MENA region. To be done we have to apply the DEA method. The study shows that the efficiency of the MFIs studied varies according to their legal status. |
