This research investigated the effects of microfinance interventions on micro and small enterprises (MSEs) development in Pakistan and Malaysia.

Moreover, this study also determines the mediating relationship of social capital between micro finance interventions and micro enterprises development. In response, this study develops a model of microfinance interventions based on reviews of empirical literature to investigate through one single model.

Copies of well-structured questionnaire were distributed to sampled entrepreneurs.
