Microfinance Voices: Calling all Stakeholders: How to Prevent Over-indebtedness

At what point does multiple borrowing result in over-indebtedness? How do we know clients are over-indebted if they are still making payments on their loans?  These are just some of the key questions raised during a recent virtual conference organized by CGAP, IFMR, and MicroSave. 

The Microfinance Gateway’s latest Microfinance Voice article "Calling all Stakeholders: How to Prevent Over-indebtedness" compiles outcomes of this robust conversation where several insights emerged from the nearly 700 comments posted during the conference.
