Commercialization of Microfinance: Bangladesh
Charitonenko, Stephanie; Rahman, S. M. | September 2002
Abstract
This report analyzes the progress toward commercialization of Bangladesh’s relatively developed and competitive microfinance industry. It also explores the remaining challenges and implications for various types of stakeholders (including microfinance clients, microfinance practitioners, government officials, and funding agencies). In addition, it recommends positive approaches to the commercialization of microfinance while preserving the traditional social objective of microfinance institutions (MFIs) of expanding access by the poor to financial services.
