European Microfinance Week is the major annual event of the microfinance industry hosting high level and in-depth discussions by all sectors of the European microfinance community (banks and financial institutions, government agencies, NGO’s, consulting firms, researchers and universities) working in developing countries. It is organized by the European Microfinance Platform (e-MFP) and supported by the Luxembourg Government.

With this year’s theme of Developing Better Markets, the European Microfinance Week will feature:

  • a plenary discussing the complexity of balancing financial inclusion with the need for market stability with representatives of Central Banks and experts on regulation;
  • a plenary on applying cutting-edge research to improving microfinance practice, featuring some of the most prominent academics in the sector;
  • over 20 in-depth sessions exploring microfinance in conflict zones, post-disaster areas, working with individuals in poverty, agricultural value chains, as well as extending savings to the last mile;
  • sessions exploring issues relevant to microfinance investors, including managing social responsibility during equity sales
