MFIs
Microfinance has been touted as an instrument that can raise the incomes of those living below the poverty line.
A business based on the concept of doing well by doing good. MFI clients comprised primarily of low-income women who take loans to support tiny enterprises like neighbourhood shops, poultry farms, etc. The loans MFI clients seek are small – typically 10000 to 25000 – and the bank requires no collateral. It is a version of “microfinance”, the idea associated with Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank of Bangladesh, winners of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize. For Yunus, microfinance can unleash the productivity of cash-starved entrepreneurs and raise their incomes above poverty lines.
