Passage 4 =
Today, with a Noble Prize to its credit, Grameen is one of the largest micro-finance organisations in
the world. It started out lending small sums to poor entrepreneurs in Bangladesh to help them grow
from a subsistence living to a livelihood. The great discovery its founders made was that even with few
assets, these entrepreneurs repaid on time.
Grameen and micro-finance have since become financial staples of the developing world.
Grameen's approach, unlike other micro-financers, uses the group-lending model. Costs are kept down
by having borrowers vet one another, tying together their financial fates and eliminating expensive
loan offices entirely. The ultimate promise of Grameen is to use business lending as a way of people to
lift themselves out of poverty.
Recently, Grameen has taken on a different challenge by setting up operations in the US Money
may be tight in the waning recession but it is still a nation of 100000 bank branches. Globally, the
working micro-finance equation consists of, borrowing funds cheaply and keeping loan defaults and
overhead expenses sufficiently low. Microlenders, including Grameen, do this by charging colossal
interest rates-as high as 60% or 70% which is necessary to compensate for the risk and attract bank
funding.
But, loans at rates much above the standard 15% would most likely be attacked as usurious in
America. So, the question is whether there is a role for a third world lender in the world's largest
economy? Grameen America believes that in a few years it will be successful and turn a profit thanks
to 9 million US households untouched by mainstream banks and 21 million using the likes of payday
loans and pawn shops for financing. But enticing the unbanked won't be easy.
After all, profit has long eluded micro-financiers and if it is not lucrative, it is not microlending, but
charity. When Grameen first went to the US, in the late 1980s. it tripped up. Under Grameen's futelage,
banks started micro loans to entrepreneurs with a shocking 30% loss. But, Grameen America says that
this time results will be different because Grameen employees themselves will be making the loans,
not training an American bank to do it.
More often than not, the borrowers, Grameen finds, in the US already have jobs (as factory
workers c.g.) or side businesses-selling toys, cleaning houses, etc. The loans from Grameen, by and
large, provide a steadier source of funding, but they don't create businesses out of nothing. But,
money isn't More many for everything. importantly. entrepreneurs, group members are tremendous
sources of support to one another. So, even if studies are yet to determine if Grameen is a clear-cut
pathway out of poverty it still achieves something useful.
66. What has adversely affected the success of micro- finance institutions in the US ?
a) The focus of these institutions is on making a profit at any cost instead of being charitable to the
needy.
b) American banks engaged in micro- lending were the most severely hit during the recession
c) Widespread perception among bankers that these institutions are better suited to developing
countries.
d) Their failure to attract those outside the formal banking system as customers
68. Why has Grameen made a second attempt to launch itself in the US ?
a) The willingness of US banks to provide the necessary staff and funds to facilitate the spread of micro-
finance.
b) The rates of interest on loans in the US are exorbitant making it easier to recover capital
c) The realisation that a large percentage of the American population not reached by mainstream banks
can be tapped.
d) Recognition of the fact that disbursing credit in developing countries during the recession is too risky.
