Who we are

The digital review Progreso was launched in 2014 by the BBVA Microfinance Foundation (FMBBVA), a non-profit that has, since its creation, supported over 6 million low-income entrepreneurs with more than $22 billion in loans for their progress. 

Progreso provides a quarterly summary of the current landscape of the microfinance sector in Latin America, with a specialized focus on current legal developments, ESG criteria, and the evolution of corporate governance.

Each issue also includes key news from the most recent quarter. Also, each edition includes an interview with a renowned personality and an op-ed signed by relevant personalities from the microfinance, development, social and economic inclusion or technology sector.

Progreso is a pioneering initiative in Spain. This publication is aimed at the main players in the sector: governments, regulators, supervisors, legislators and members of international multilateral organizations, universities, rating companies, media, foundations, Spanish and international non-profit financial institutions, associations and financial institutions, among others.
