After the inaugural event held in India in 2008, the second edition of the MFNT Summit will take place on March 11th and 12th, 2010, at the Royal Mirage Marrakech Hotel, in Marrakech, in Morocco.

ICT: a main issue for the development of microfinance

Access to microfinance services has largely increased over the last two decades. Today, according to the World Bank, around 10,000 microfinance institutions reach out to more than 150 million people worldwide, providing them with financial and non-financial services. Some of the most renowned experts believe that this number could triple in coming years.

Microfinance in Morocco: a promising market for NICT providers

The Moroccan microfinance industry is important and becoming increasingly sophisticated; nevertheless, the demand for financial and non-financial services is far from being entirely met. Leading actors seek new solutions and technologies to: cut their costs, improve the quality of their services, and be more competitive.

PlaNet Finance is a leading international non-profit organization with the mission to alleviate poverty through the development of microfinance, therefore increasing the unbanked and underbanked’s access to financial services.

With its history, its architectural heritage, its exciting and enchanting atmosphere, Marrakech provides a marvellous setting to welcome the 2nd edition of the MFNT Summit.

No doubt that this unique town will fascinate and surprise you!
