Politique monétaire, croissance économique et microfinance : une analyse théorique et empirique sur données de panel de pays en voie de developpement

Tout d'abord, cette thèse examine les relations d'une part entre la politique monétaire et la microfinance et d'autre part celles liées à la croissance économique et le secteur de la microfinance. Nos résultats montrent dans le premier cas que les taux des institutions de microfinance (IMF) à vocation non commerciale sont moins sensibles à la politique monétaire contrairement à ceux des IMF à vocation commerciale. Ce résultat peut s'expliquer par la possibilité des IMF à vocation commerciale à avoir un accès plus important au financement bancaire contrairement aux IMF à vocation non commerciale. Quant au deuxième cas, nous trouvons que la microfinance affecte la croissance économique à travers les canaux de transmission que sont la consommation et l'investissement. Ensuite, nous avons analysé l'impact des indicateurs de gouvernance notamment le nombre de personnes au conseil d'administration, le statut juridique et les ratios de prudentielles sur les performances financières et sociales des IMF dans un premier temps et dans un second temps nous examinons l'effet de la structure du capital sur l'activité de microcrédit à court, moyen et long terme. En ce qui concerne la gouvernance, nous trouvons que les IMF ayant le statut de « société anonyme » dégagent des marges bénéficiaires plus importantes que les institutions mutualiste et coopérative d'épargne et de crédit (IMCEC). Quant aux travaux sur la structure du capital, nous remarquons que les prêts aux populations à faibles revenus sont refinancés par les emprunts bancaires dont la conséquence est le renchérissement du taux prêteur. Enfin, nous constatons que les IMF qui se refinancent par les dépôts ont une activité de prêt plus importante que celles qui se refinancent par des emprunts bancaires.Firstly, this thesis examines the relationships between monetary policy and microfinance on the one hand and economic growth and the microfinance sector on the other. Our results show in the first case that the rates of non-commercial microfinance institutions (MFIs) are less sensitive to monetary policy than those of commercial MFIs. This result can be explained by the possibility that commercial MFIs have greater access to bank financing than non-commercial MFIs. As for the second case, we find that microfinance affects economic growth through the transmission channels of consumption and investment. Then, we analyzed the impact of governance indicators such as the number of people on the board of directors, legal status and prudential ratios on the financial and social performance of MFIs first and then we examine the effect of capital structure on microcredit activity in the short, medium and long term. With regard to governance, we find that MFIs with "public limited company" status generate higher profit margins than mutual and cooperative savings and credit institutions (IMCEC). As for the work on the capital structure, we note that loans to low-income populations are refinanced by bank loans, the consequence of which is the increase in the lending rate. Finally, we note that MFIs that refinance themselves through deposits have a higher lending activity than those that refinance themselves through bank loans

Microfinance institutions, banking, growth and transmission channel: a GMM panel data analysis from developping countries

FNEGE 4, HCERES CInternational audienceThis paper aims to analyse the statistical significance of MFIs’ and banks’ performance on economic development through a GMM panel analysis between 1999 to 2016. Our main contributions to previous literature are twofold. Firstly, we consider a greater variety of indicators to capture different aspects of the banks’ and MFIs’ performance. Secondly, besides traditional channels of transmission such as investment and human capital, we account for an important potential transmission channel, which is consumption. We mainly find that despite their relatively small size, MFIs’ performance contributes to economic development even when banks’ performance is taken into account. Furthermore, our results suggest that by improving their social and financial performance, MFIs increase investment and consumption. Especially, we show that women use their loans to consume rather than to invest. Finally, we also find that banks’ performance improves GDP per capita through investment, consumption and human capital

Internal determinants of the performance of microfinance institutions in Ivory Coast: a panel data analysis

This article aims to identify and analyse the internal determinants of the financial and social performance of microfinance institutions (MFI) in Ivory Coast. For this purpose, we have collected a database of twenty-two Ivorian MFI with financial data covering the period 2011-2014. Our results highlight the positive influence of the legal form on the financial performance of MFI. Specifically, we show that MFI with the status of "public limited companies" have higher profit margins than mutual and cooperative savings and credit institutions (IMCEC). On the other hand, the prudential ratios, the maturity of the MFI, the size of customer deposits and the number of points of service appear to have no influence on the financial performance of the MFI; social performance, the maturity of the MFI, the number of points of service and the geographical coverage of the MFI play a positive role in its attractiveness to customers. Lastly, the capitalisation ratio, geographical coverage and deposit size play a major role in the size evolution of the loans granted to customers
