Abstract

The microcredit (MC) market in Argentina shows a low development, compared to its neighboring countries. This situation, although it can be seen as a problem or an obstacle, also represents an opportunity to grow. When inquiring about the causes of such underdevelopment, it is observed that information about MC offer is scarce and insufficient to conduct a thorough analysis of said market. Therefore, the objective of this work is to provide evidence about the structure of the MC offer in Argentina from a descriptive analysis. The main contribution of this work is to establish the main parameters that will allow laying the foundations to respond to the poor development of microfinance in Argentina.
