Beschreibung
This book is about credit allocation, risk management and loan portfolio performance of Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs) in Uganda. The book brings insights relating to how different MFIs are performing and how credit allocation and risk management affects their performance. A cross-sectional research design was adopted which involved descriptive, correlation and regression approaches. Data were analysed through Statistical Package for Social Scientists. Simple random sampling was used to select a sample of 40 MFIs from the population of 45 in Kampala and Wakiso districts of Uganda. Findings indicated that credit allocation and risk management had a significant relationship with loan portfolio performance. Results from the regression analysis showed that credit allocation and risk management significantly predicted 23.9% of loan portfolio performance. Practical implications: it was recommended that managers of the MFIs should conduct per-disbursement trainings through workshops and seminars for all successful loan applicants which would enable them on how to utilize the loan facilities.
