The microfinance sector in Cambodia seems to grow fast, and the scale has been increasing rapidly over the last several years. However, it is uncertain that the industry of microfinance is growing with sustainability. This paper analyzes the outreach and sustainability of microfinance institutions (MFIs) in Cambodia. This quantitative research uses descriptive statistics and linear regression analysis to illustrate the trends and determinants of outreach and sustainability level of Cambodian MFIs. To achieve the long-term sustainability and outreach, the conclusion suggests that the MFIs should: 1) diversify profit and risk portfolio by targeting a wide range of clients in addition to the poor, 2) increase the cost efficiency, 3) maintain the growth of the loan at steady rate, and 4) pay attention to institutional experience, and 5) mobilize more savings. 2015-08-24 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1429731492 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1429731492 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
