Thanks for your post :) Micro-finance does not work everywhere, and does not suit everyone. No one is denying that :) Grameen Bank has however proven to be an amazing approach to empower people to lift themselves out of poverty. The Grameen bank's interest rate is currently at 11%. There are many aspects to the interest rate, but one is that the borrowers don't have to provide any collateral for their loan. I would say that it's an amazing thing if the bank gets richer since 95% of the bank is owned by its members. The other 5% are owned by the Bangladesh state. Here's some more reading for your :) http://www.grameen-info.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=0 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grameen_Bank http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/24/grameen-bank-and-the-public-good/ Thanks again for your input! All the best, Evelina Hej Hanna! Thanks for your post :)

I don't think so! Microfinance to poor with 30 % interest will not make our world to a better place. At least not when a Bank Like Greemen Bank grows richer and richer for every years.
