Supply Contd……
The Gap Rs.5,608 million excluding expected supply from wholesale institutions RSRF/NRB, RMDC and SKBBL.
Growing MF Sector• About 25 % growth,
•NRB’s DSL scheme, wholesale institutions- RMDC, SKBBL, RSRF are facilitating a lot on promoting and developing MF sector,
• Legal recognition to MF,
• MF sector getting importance in poverty alleviation
Drying up Resources • MFIs are in rush to catch financial resources,
• Finding difficult to get the money as and when needed
•When availed, interest rate is increasing (previously 4-6%, now 7-9% and in few cases up to 11 %)
•MFIs -seriously in pain to manage the financial resources and increasing cost
•MFIs either to consolidate/squeeze business or increase interest to poor clients,
• Hesitate to expand business in hills and remote areas
• Push the poor people living in remote area further back,
Probable Solution•Besides, DSL scheme and funding from wholesale sources,
•MFIs mobilize more savings from the clients,
•Deposit mobilization from general public- NRB to set criteria and limit ensuring security of public deposit,
•MFIs develop appropriate products and services and delivery methodology to reach more,
•MFIs to use IT - reduce cost, increase efficiency
Contd……………………..
•MFIs search international sources of funding, social investors are increasing,
•Major problems with international funding: High interest rate, Exchange risk, Many formalities, costly and lengthy process
•MFIs/NRB/Govt. need to make strategy to relieve MF sector’s dependency on subsidized funding and implement accordingly,
• Govt.- Relief in corporate tax so that the saved money could be
utilized to expand services in hills and remote area,
- Channelizing poverty related fundings through MFIs could be more effective,
- Take into consideration of MF sector while formulating policies specially in banking, financial and poverty related areas.
