ASA’s Position in Bangladesh

ASA benchmarks itself against its peer NGO MFIs in Bangladesh on a continual basis - this is both to reorient itself to better serve it clients and to keep itself relevant in the Bangladesh development context.

According to the Annual Microfinance Statistics of Bangladesh (Volume-19, December 2006) published by the Credit and Development Forum (CDF) there are 611 NGO MFIs in Bangladesh (including ASA). ASA's standing in the sector is as follows:

	611 NGO MFIs	ASA	%
Members	16 million	5.16 million	32%
Cumulative Loan Disbursement	US$ 8,171 million	US$ 2,593 million	32%
Loan Outstanding	US$ 1,076 million	US$ 309 million	28%

As can be seen from the statistics above:

ASA's clients account for 32% of the borrowers in the NGO MFI sector
ASA accounts for 32% of ALL loans given out by the NGO MFIs
ASA accounts for 28% of the portfolio outstanding in the microfinance sector in Bangladesh

ASA Branches throughout the Country up to December 2009
