In short

MFI made up the biggest part of the lending portfolio in June 2026. Their share was about 36% to 38% from June 2022 to June 2025, according to the summary.

This matters because it shows how bank lending is being split across loan types. The report does not say which institutions are covered or why the share changed.

What the reporting says

MFI constitute the largest share of the lending portfolio in June 2026, with their share staying around 36% to 38% between June 2022 and June 2025. The publisher-supplied summary says this was the most significant increase in five years. The reporting does not say which lenders are included or what drove the change, so the immediate market implication is unclear.

Why it matters

MFI constitute the largest share of the lending portfolio in June 2026, with the share holding near 36% to 38% from June 2022 to June 2025. That suggests a continued rise in microfinance’s role in bank lending over the period cited. The summary does not identify the lenders, borrower segments, or the drivers behind the increase, so the impact on specific banks or markets is not stated.
