Micro-credit and Grameen Bank: A Pragmatic Approach to Global Poverty Alleviation and Sustainable Socio-Economic Development
Publisher: World Scientific com., U.K.
Micro-credit is small loans offered to the poor segment of people in the society who could not otherwise get loans from the conventional banks due to too many restrictions and requirements. It has been proven to be an effective means in an ongoing fight against poverty. Grameen Bank provides credit to the poorest of the poor people in rural Bangladesh without any collateral. 2006 Nobel laureate in Peace, Dr. Muhammad Yunus, the founder of “Grameen Bank” argues that the credit provided by the Grameen Bank is a cost effective weapon to fight poverty and serves as a catalyst in overall socio-economic development. According to Dr. Yunus, “if financial resources are available to the poor people on terms and conditions that are appropriate and reasonable, these millions of people with their millions of small pursuits can add up to create the biggest development wonder.” As of March, 2007, Grameen Bank(GB) has 7.06 million borrowers, 97 percent of whom are women. With 2,399 branches, GB provides services in 76,848 villages, covering more than 91 percentage of the total villages in Bangladesh. The positive multi-dimensional impact of GB on the poor and formerly poor borrowers has been documented in many independent studies done by external agencies including the World Bank and The International Food Research Policy Institute. The purpose of this edited volume is thus to document further evidence and studies so that the policy makers can apply the pragmatic approach to alleviate poverty in order to achieve sustainable socio-economic development.
