CreditAccess Grameen is a leading Indian microfinance institution (MFI), offering credit largely to women across rural and semi-rural India.
Being in the NBFC/MFI space, key variables for the business include: credit cost, asset-quality (NPAs), funding rates (especially for borrowings), growth of the loan portfolio (GLP), and regulatory/sector-cycle risk.
The MFI sector is sensitive to macro-economic shocks, interest-rate changes, rural income trends and collections. Thus even though the business has a strong mission, the sector is inherently higher risk compared to traditional banking.
