"IFC’s annual survey of its banking clients continues to provide insight into the potential size and financial performance of women-owned small and medium enterprises (WSMEs) and why financial institutions should pay greater attention to this segment". Survey results show that women SME loan portfolios consistently exhibit lower NPLs, average loan sizes to Women-SMEs were smaller than average loan sizes to total SMEs, and average size of deposits from W-SMEs was comparable to the average size of total SME deposits.
