What is the role of financial regulation in the field of micro- finance? This paper identifi es two features of micro- finance which call for unique treatment in policy considerations as compared to policy thinking in the mainstream body of financial law. These features are credit re- covery and the credit risk of the MFI, when credit access is enabled through the structure of the joint liability group. The paper goes on to o ffer draft law which embeds a regulatory treatment of micro- finance that flows from this analysis. [WP-2012-005].
