Notes
1. Donor funding in Bangladesh enabled microfinance institutions to offer poor people rates of interest on loans that are significantly lower than those charged by microfinance institutions in some other countries (Morduch Citation1998, Citation1999b).
2. The consequences for people with problems repaying loans have been played out with tragic consequences in India, Bangladesh and elsewhere with a spate of suicides of people unable to repay their loans (Bateman Citation2012; Karim Citation2011; Taylor Citation2012).
