Description
”Microfinance comprises financial intermediation targeting the enterprising (economically active) poor. These normally have no access to formal financial services.
The target group (mainly women) are offered a number of financial products, like savings, credit and insurance. Loans are given mainly for productive purposes and are repaid after a short period and at (relatively) high interest rates. Guarantees are normal individual or social/group guarantees.
Such financial intermediation is offered by a variety of institutions from big banks to small NGOs.”
