Abstract:
|
The case explains Bangladesh based Grameen Bank's two microfinance
models - Grameen Classic System and Grameen General System (GGS). For
over two decades, Grameen Bank extended loans to poor people in
Bangladesh under its Grameen Classic credit system. In 1998, the floods
ravaged the country which led to many poor people default on their loan
payments. This led to the need for a new, more flexible credit system.
The result was Grameen General System which allowed the borrowers to
remain as the member of the bank even when they were unable to pay their
loan installments. The case gives an overview of the GGS and the success
Grameen Bank achieved after implementing the new credit system.
