http://www.eiu.com/site_info.asp?info_name=Global_Microscope...This report outlines the findings of the Economist Intelligence Unit’s in-depth analysis of the microfinance business environment in 55 countries.

This study uses a methodology that has been employed for the last two years in a microfinance report on Latin America and the Caribbean, and is being piloted for the first time on a global basis.
