As I have already noted, I currently judge that U.S. economic growth is likely to be sufficient over the next year or two to result in further improvement in the labor market.
This is because the microfinance industry has evolved from a narrow focus on microcredit to a more holistic, sustainable and “value-adding” provision of financial services to our target market. For example, 69 of the 183 banks with microcredit operations now hold 1.7 million microdeposit accounts. In early 2012, there were only 22 such banks.
