- Abstract
This study aimed to examine the credit risk in microfinance institutions in Gunungkidul Regency, considering both internal and external factors that may affect the repayment ability of borrowers. The study used the Ordered Logit Model analysis to investigate the relationship between credit risk and loan types, gender, and education level of borrowers. The results indicated that group loans had a higher level of credit risk compared to individual loans, indicating that the shared responsibility system, which should encourage group members to repay loans on time, has become less effective. Moreover, male borrowers were found to be more at risk of default than female borrowers, and higher education levels were associated with lower credit risk. These findings have important implications for microfinance institutions to improve their credit risk management strategies and develop more effective loan products to minimize the credit risk of borrowers.
