dc.description.abstract | The levels of financial inclusion in Kenya have continued to increase due to robust financial
structures that have seen the number of MFIs grow. These MFIs contribute immensely in
creating seamless flow and access of affordable financial products to the common people at the
bottom of the pyramid. But despite their huge contribution, many of these MFIs still struggle to
stay afloat. It remains unclear whether such growth in the financial levels contributes to the
financial performance of such firms. Therefore, this research work provides theoretical and
conceptual background on the relationship between financial inclusion and the financial
performance of MFIs in Kenya. It uses total loan value and deposit accounts to measure financial
inclusion levels and data collected from the 14 registered deposit-taking MFIs. However, from
the regression analysis done, the paper concludes that, indeed, financial inclusion does not
guarantee financial performance. Therefore, the study indicates the need to have empirical
research to identify the contributors to the proper financial performance of MFIs. | en_US |
