7 Cambodia Microfinance Association Lender Guidelines Project

8 An initiative of the Cambodian Microfinance Association led by the CEO Task Force and CMA CEO Club With the Technical Support of the Credit Bureau of Cambodia and Daniel Rozas (MIMOSA) Funded by ADA, BIO, FMO, Incofin Investment Management and PROPARCO

9 Progress CMA Board approves the MoU in December 2016 Endorsed and supported by CBC Endorsed by investors/lenders Endorsed in principle by NBC Signed by 39 CMA members Started monitoring data from Jan 17 to develop and improve monitoring compliance dashboard, which CBC is handling and reporting to CMA Collected data for monitoring dashboard since July 2017, individual report has been sent to each signatory (dashboards exist for April Dec 2017)

10 Lending Guidelines summary Broader data reporting to CBC Prevent unhealthy competition Client protection Income sources supporting loan Parties to the loan (co-borrowers, guarantors) More timely reporting (within 5 biz days) Caps on multiple lending Metrics on loan refinancing Implement rescheduling/restructuring policies Limit asset sales of poor clients to exceptional cases only End use of local authorities for collections

11 CBC Lender Guidelines Dashboard

12 Growth, unabated Portf size (bln 7 USD) Num Portfolio 2 2 CMA member growth Num brwrs (mln) 2.5 S

13 Loan sizes 3,000 2,500 2,000 CMA Members: Avg loan size Ln Size Growth (%) 34% 40% 30% 1,500 1, % Avg 20% 10% 0% Sep-17 Source: CMA; excludes large loans from ACLEDA and Sathapana

14 but multiple lending is low. what s going on?

15 Hypotheses: 1. Loan size growth is key risk in Cambodia 2. Refinancing is riskiest part of loan size growth

16 Competition via refinancing Lender 1 Lender 2

17 And in Cambodia, usually: Lender 2 = Lender 1

18 Refinancing: measuring time risk 1 st trimester 2 nd trimester 3 rd trimester Loan 1 Loan 2

19 Refinancing: measuring size risk Loan 1 Loan 2

20 Proposed Limits for Refinancing Current lending distribution Time Size <=110 >110 >120 >140 >160 >180 >200 1st trimester 2nd trimester 3rd trimester 21% 10% 19% Max level with proposed limits Time Size <=110 >110 >120 >140 >160 >180 >200 1st trimester 2nd trimester 3rd trimester 30% 10% 1% Ø 18% reduction in current disbursements, all at the highest refinancing risk level

21 CBC Lender Guidelines Dashboard

22 Next Steps Revise dashboards to include matrix and industry averages so that MFIs can see where they stand Encourage social investors to collect dashboards during monitoring visits and to have a dialogue with investees Discuss with SMART Campaign on how to include such risks in upcoming certification renewal Keep regulators updated on the trends Lenders to slow growth

23 A new way forward for self-regulation? Identify key risks Clear indicators to monitor Independent monitoring Oversight by interested stakeholders Encourage regulator engagement Loan size growth Refinancing Multiple borrowing Loan-toincome ratio Refinancing matrix Multiple borrowing Credit bureau Social investors MF association Continuously update on project outputs CBC providing dashboard to regulator

25 Agenda : Welcome and Updates : Understanding the risk for over-indebtedness in India : Implementing the Universal Standards in India : Responsible Exits : Lunch : SPI4 and ALINUS : Update on lender guidelines monitoring in Cambodia : Assessing S&E performance of SME finance : Coffee Break : Digitalization & Fintech : Data Platform : Aligning efforts with the impact investing field : Wrap up and conclusions

26 Assessing social & environmental performance of SME finance institutions Objective Map the relevance and applicability for SME finance of the Universal Standards (SPTF), investors due diligence tools and other frameworks. Identify possible opportunities for SME tailored analysis. Consolidate the information available on how to evaluate social &environmental performance of SME finance institutions. Source 5 MIVs, 3 DFIs, MFR data, Universal Standards, Cerise SBS and IRIS metrics. Timeline In person meetings at: SPTF 2017, SAM 2017, EMW 2017, SPTF 2018, SPTF SIWG

27 Assessing social & environmental performance of SME finance institutions # Activity Where 1.1 Kick-off meeting with investors to collect feedback on their priorities, preferences, concerns SPTF 1.2 SME literature review, collection and review of ESG SME finance tools publicly available MFR SME assessments review: analysis of social ratings of SME finance FSPs, FGD with MFR analysts Analysis of 200 SME clients survey conducted by MFR in 20 Countries (profile typical SMEs financed) Investors due diligence review: NDAs signed with investors, one-on-one calls, documents and tools Interim meeting to share the initial findings SAM, EMW 1.7 Processing the information and data collected Draft paper (Apr 2018) Feedback period: share draft paper, collect feedback of participants, e-mfp and SPTF Feedback meeting with investors on the draft paper SPTF 1.11 Integrate feedback Final paper, edit and publish Disseminate the paper results EMW, SPTF 2.1 Identify the most appropriate solutions to overcome the gaps highlighted in phase 1: adapt the - existing indicators, introduce new ones to complete the SME assessment add-on for investors 2.2 Draft the list of indicators for the SME module and share it with investors for feedback Incorporate investors feedback to the draft the list of SME indicators Incorporate the lessons learned from the test to the list of SME indicators (Dec 2018) - 27

28 Preliminary findings Segment Employees Assets Small and very small 5-45 <3M USD Medium enterprises M USD Gaps in E&S assessment tools for institutions serving very small and small enterprises (ofterupscaling MFIs) In this segment, high level guidance (e.g. E&S risk management system proportional to risks and affordable by ticket size) may be useful cause majority of FSPs are yet to build and E&S systems. The general guidance should then be translated into a customized ESG risk management system (sector, geo, SME size) It may be beneficial and sustainable for FSPs serving very small and small enterprises to manage E&S risk at portfolio level, with individual analysis reserved to high risks only. 28
