Re: [MFP] Re: Fwd: FW: Unbanked News - South Africa

 

I think we'd all be more comfortable in a static world Ben:  change is scary :)

Because you are in Tanzania, I am curious to know how the micro-leasing concept is growing (or not) there.  

Several years back, I noted that Selfina seemed to be doing quite well and customers were content (though, I did not have a chance to interview them apart from loan officers).  

And, I have often wondered why micro leasing has not grown further, particularly in East Africa.  Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Jami

I am afraid negativists like Milford Bateman would be more comfortable with a static world than try anything new  like Micro-enterprise financing  and Microfinance. Microfinance is not perfect, neither is it a panacea to poverty alleviation; BUT it has a positive impact as far as financial inclusion is concerned. Its advent revolutionized the financial world, we can improve from there.
