Hi Jami and Ben,
You can find pretty recent pricing data for Tanzania, including Selfina here:
Size of bubbles is how many clients for each product, at that loan size. You can see that you're pretty lucky to find a loan at under 100%.
You can find a detailed analysis report (which I think has amazingly interesting and useful information in it) here:

I think we'd all be more comfortable in a static world Ben: change is scary :)Because you are in Tanzania, I am curious to know how the micro-leasing concept is growing (or not) there.Several years back, I noted that Selfina seemed to be doing quite well and customers were content (though, I did not have a chance to interview them apart from loan officers).And, I have often wondered why micro leasing has not grown further, particularly in East Africa. Anyone have any thoughts on this?Thanks in advance.Best,JamiOn Wed, Jul 9, 2014 at 10:37 AM, Ben Laseko benlaseko@yahoo.co.uk [MicrofinancePractice] <MicrofinancePractice@yahoogroups.com> wrote:I am afraid negativists like Milford Bateman would be more comfortable with a static world than try anything new like Micro-enterprise financing and Microfinance. Microfinance is not perfect, neither is it a panacea to poverty alleviation; BUT it has a positive impact as far as financial inclusion is concerned. Its advent revolutionized the financial world, we can improve from there.
