Using as examples Bolivia's three largest microfinance institutions (MFIs) "BancoSol, Caja los Andes and FIE" this article describes challenges microfinance has faced from economic recession and borrower revolts; how it stacks up against the rest of the banking sector; and how the industry evolved under those pressures.
