Relationship between Capital Structure and performance of Micro-Finance Institutions

Poverty alleviation is the main objective of United Nations Millennium Development Goal and microcredit is used as an effective tool in poverty alleviation around the globe. Microcredit is one of the significant innovations in development policy and a key element for the 21st century’s socio-economic development as micro-credit helps improving socio-economic conditions of the poor. In an era of declining donor funding and public engagements, sources of funds for Micro-finance institutions (MFIs) and their performance and economic sustainability become an important topic for future of MFIs. This project will be focused on studying the relationship between Capital Structure and Financial Performance of Micro-Finance Institutions (MFIs). A dataset will be used to establish the relationship between the capital structure and performance. Multiple regression analysis will be used with the statistical tools such as SPSS and STATA. The study will show the relationship between capital structure and effects on performance and will enable policy makers to act accordingly.
