The Future of Microfinance: A Discussion

On October 1st, 2020, Calvert Impact Capital hosted a webinar to discuss the recently published book, the Future of Microfinance, with co-editor Paul DiLeo, Managing Director of Grassroots Capital Management; co-editor Ira Liberman, former Calvert board member; contributor Jennifer Isern, Calvert Impact Capital board member and founder and CEO of Catalyze Global Impact LLC; and Kathy Stearns, Calvert Impact Capital board member and chair of the Investment Committee, who moderated the conversation.

The panelists discussed the evolution of microfinance over the past four decades from a niche service in a few countries to a massive industry that provides financing to some 200 million people globally, the majority of whom are in the developing world.
