Basel II sets rigorous risk management requirements

LiSim conducted a workshop for Triple Jump on the subject of
Basel II: opportunities and limitations for microfinance – evidence from
Latin America.

 

Lilian Simbaqueba – the CEO of the Colombian based LiSim conducted for the
employees of Triple Jump a workshop about Basel II and microfinance.
Opportunities and limitations of the Basel Accord for micro lending
activities were analyzed and discussed. Evidence from Latin American
countries was presented.

As Basel II sets rigorous risk management requirements that affect
directly and indirectly micro and small credits, Triple Jump contacted Ms.
Simbaqueba to prepare and present this workshop (internet link). She has
large experience in microfinance worldwide, especially in credit risk
management. Ms. Simbaqueba pioneered the work on credit scoring for micro
lending – technique meant to cut operational costs and increase the
outreach of the MFIs with the purpose to help them become self-sustainable
– key factor for a durable success of microfinance.
