Women lead in microfinance reach despite funding gaps
The article focused on the dominance of women among microfinance beneficiaries in Egypt, where they accounted for 53.01% of the total beneficiaries, approximately 1.824 million women. Although the amount of funding allocated to women was lower than that for men, women received 45.45% of the total funding, which reached 74.032 billion Egyptian pounds by the end of April 2026. Data indicates that men hold a larger share of the total funding value (54.55%), but women still represent the driving force in terms of numbers, with men's average loan amounts higher than women's. These figures highlight a relative balance between genders, despite some disparities in funding value, within a broader plan to empower women and promote financial inclusion.
