Yunus: Banking on the poor

尤努斯正在打破中国小额贷款多年来的沉闷局面。也许。

Muhammad Yunus never worries about money. His father was a jewelry dealer and he ran before a package plant. 'I can be a top businessman, if I want.' But he turns and devotes to poor people. Yunus believes poor people have also creativity, and their credits can't be worse than rich people. Poor people need only a chance, which is a loan. Yunus started this revolutionary idea in 1976, when he lent 27 US dollar to 42 women to help them buy weaving stools. Twenty years later, his Grameen bank had extended a total of 1 billion US dollar micro-credit loans. This figure keeps rising to 5.3 billion US dollar when another ten year is past. Grameen's micro-credit loans covered six million poor people (96 percent are women), and the repayment rate on loans is 98.89 percent-a figure that could astonish most bankers in the world.
