EMN Annual Report 2022
2022 was certainly a challenging year: after the end of the COVID19’s restrictions, the inflation dramatically increased across Europe, the Ukraine-Russia war blew out, and new monetary policies were put in place.
At the European Microfinance Network we worked with our members to support Small and Micro Entrepreneurs (SMEs) in overcoming these times of crises. Over the year, we organised a series of webinars within the EasiTA projects and other events dedicated to various topics, such as green transitions, digitalisation, and financial inclusion.
We published a number of publications, including Policy Briefings, a Survey Report, and other working papers. Finally, we held our Annual Conference in Brussels, and organised the 8th edition of the European Microfinance Day Campaign.
