Summary: Microfinance is a vast global industry employing hundreds of thousands of people and attracting the attention of large numbers of governments, banks, aid agencies, Non-governmental organizations and consultancy firms. Microfinance has become an important component of development, poverty reduction and economic regeneration strategies around the world. By the early 21st Century tens of millions of people in more than 100 countries were accessing services from formal and semi-formal microfinance institutions (MFIs). Much of the initial attention on microcredit came through work on Bangladesh's much-lauded Grameen Bank but, there are now many different models for microfinance and many countries have substantial microfinance sectors.
