The largest microfinance institutions (MFI) are sound, but smaller ones are weaker and need to be consolidated and better supervised. Commercial banks and large MFIs provide credit to small- and medium-sized enterprises, but their access to financial services suffers from asymmetries of information and flaws in the judicial system. The development of the regional capital market has not met expectations.
