Evidence as well suggests a negative relationship between external governance and the microbanks' social success measured by the depth of outreach. In this context, our analysis reveals that a country's political stability, governance effectiveness, regulatory quality and rule of law are significant key elements of external governance affecting the MFIs' functional performance. Moreover, results from sensitivity analyses indicate that the relationship between external governance quality and microfinance functional performance significantly depends on the microbanks' business concepts, their lending methodologies and sources of funding.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"journal_article","date_updated":"2023-01-10T09:38:58Z","publication":" International Journal of Monetary Economics and Finance ","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"volume":6,"title":"External governance outcome and microfinance success","_id":"4398","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1752-0487"]},"department":[{"_id":"186"},{"_id":"188"}],"user_id":"21810","citation":{"ieee":"A.
