Financial sector development and poverty reduction:
KfW’s lessons learned in 38 words
a. Financial sector development has to bring financial services to the masses in order to contribute to poverty reduction (Micro = Macro)
b. Professional microfinance institutions can succeed in imperfect markets (“governance matters”)
c. Sound local financial markets need bottom-up development
26
Advancing Microfinance:Results and future challenges
Our Results
Microfinance financially sustainable (e.g. ProCredit Banks, BancoSol, Compartamos, UMU)
Good instrument to contribute to the millenium development goals
Cooperation with private (ethically motivated) investors necessary and possible, catalytic role of development banks
Challenges Securing the double goal of financial sustainability and increased outreach
Further develop rural finance, especially for smallholders
Attracting more private capital and know-how to scale-up microfinance

Microloans in Germany – Framework Conditions and Current Developments
36
The German Banking System
Three-pillar structure: 1. Commercial banks, 2. Public-sector banks (savings banks and Landesbanks), 3. Cooperative banks (credit cooperatives and cooperative central banks)
Bank-based financial system: Companies and private individuals obtain finance mainly through bank loans, and not through the capital market (so-called “house bank principle”)→ Balance-sheet total of all credit institutions in Germany is about three times the GDP
Legal basis for the credit institution is the KWG (German Banking Act). A written permission from the German Financial Supervisory Authority BAFIN is required for banks to conduct banking transactions (§ 32 KWG).
Total number of credit institutions (as defined in §1 KWG ) as of 31 December 2005: 2,344
Total number of bank branches (headquarters of legally independent credit institutions plus all their branch offices, including Postbank) as of 31 December 2005: 46,444
High density of banks in Germany ensures that loans and other banking services are provided on a broad scale everywhere in Germany
37
Framework Conditions for the Extension of Microloans
Microloans are extended under all thee “pillars“ of the banking system and through the promotional banks. Non-banks are usually not entitled to grant loans.
The promotional, cooperative and savings banks play a major role in micro-lending. Commercial banks play only a minor role.
There is no special “law on micro-lending” in Germany
→ Micro-loans are extended by the credit institutions in accordance with the
framework conditions of the banking system: The BAFIN supervises the extension of microloans (promotional
banks are supervised by public authorities (federal government/federal states)
The KWG provides the legal basis Promotional banks, mortgage banks and credit guarantee companies may facilitate
the banks’ micro-lending activities by assuming liability and reimbursing part of the commission (promotional banks).
38
Problems in Microloan Financing
Though there is a broad-scale offer of bank services due to the high density of banks in Germany, access to microloans is often hampered.
Reasons for these problems:
1. High processing costs for the credit institutions- fix process costs in micro-lending - particularly high need for information and advice on the part of business start-ups/small
entrepreneurs - low interest earnings from small-volume loans → unfavourable cost/revenue ratio for the banks
2. Micro-lending involves high risk- relatively high default rates - information asymmetry between lender and borrower- often no collateral can be provided
3. Interest ceilings- problem of adverse selection- current account lines as a competitive product- “usury paragraph“
Credit institutions often show great restraint in their micro-lending activities
39
Microloan Programmes in Germany
In reaction to the financing gap in the area of micro-financing a number of microloan programmes have been set up since the 1990s, which are supported by public authorities, foundations and banks (number in 2004: 24)
The programmes are very heterogeneous: Many ”niche suppliers“ with activities limited to specific regions and/or groups of persons (unemployed persons, foreigners, youths)
In many cases microloan programmes are established in cooperation with banks, advisory firms and institutions for economic promotion. This facilitates the lending process for the banks, though the loan decision still remains with the banks.
In some cases the ”lending“ is implemented via local and municipal authorities. Usually this does not involve loans in a narrower sense but repayable grants extended to special target groups (unemployed persons, foreigners).
In individual cases loans are extended by MFIs without cooperation with a bank. In these exceptional cases the BAFIN has granted permission to non-banks to extend loans under certain conditions (e.g. complete equity capital financing, customary bank reporting, maximum loan amounts).
No uniform, broad-scale offer of micro-loans
40
Current Developments
Micro-lending is basically possible under the existing framework (high density of banks, good promotional infrastructure, special permissions to engage in micro-lending are possible)
To offer microloans on a broad-scale all over Germany process and risk costs have to be reduced further. Two different strategies are pursued in this area:
1. Exemption from liability and reimbursement of part of the commission
Example: KfW ”Micro Loan“ / ”Micro-10“
2. Linking financing and advisory offers
Example: Micro-finance Fund Germany
