    Overview: The New Microfinance Handbook

    By World Bank Publications

    ()

    About this ebook


    The original Microfinance Handbook provided a very useful guide for practitioners and students of development finance. Since that book was published in 1998, there have been concentrated efforts to broaden outreach of financial services to poor households and microenterprises. The New Microfinance Handbook takes a market systems approach to financial inclusion, oriented by client needs. Framing the book with the client as the central element recognizes the emerging awareness that the financial service needs of poor people, like those not so poor, are many. Increasing financial inclusion requires a multitude of market actors working together to make the system work better for the poor. The New Microfinance Handbook brings together leading industry thinkers and organizes their ideas into a concise reference for all development finance stakeholders. The book methodically outlines all the considerations for increasing financial inclusion, with a particular focus on understanding the needs of poor households.
