The objective of this research is to determine the relationship between the concentration of the Peruvian microcredit market and the financial margin of the firms. In view of the differences in the performance of microfinance institutions, an analysis focused on municipal savings banks was carried out due to their participation in microcredit and their seniority in the sector, since an aggregate study will not allow a correct analysis of this relationship. For the analysis, financial information was used from the Peruvian municipal savings banks during the period Jul10 - Dec19 through a static linear panel data model. The results indicate a negative relationship between the concentration of the credit market and the financial intermediation margin of the municipal savings banks. One possible explanation is the increased competition in the microcredit market. In this way, the effect of the concentration on the margin would be overshadowed by the increase in competition in the sector, reducing their market power, which allowed them to increase their margins. The results obtained are relevant since they indicate that the increase in concentration in the Peruvian microcredit market has not had a detrimental effect on the main clients (micro and small companies) of the CMACs thanks to the increase in competition, which makes sense. since spreads like interest rates have been decreasing instead of increasing. In addition, it is found that the operating cost variable has a great impact on the margin of the municipal savings banks.
