Small Customers, Big Market: Commercial Banks in Microfinance
- Used Book in Good Condition
* First comprehensive look at commercial bank experience in microfinance
* Shows commercial opportunities for banks in a new market
* Worldwide case studies and applicability
This book shows commercial bankers that they can profitably provide microfinance services to the poor. It illustrates, through the experience of particular banks, why banks have become involved and how they have made a success of their involvement.
The eighteen case studies all show that banks can earn good profits at the same time as serving the needs of people who previously lacked access to financial services.
The authors also demonstrate to foreign aid donors, policy makers, NGO staff and microfinance practitioners that it is often quicker, less expensive and more effective for microfinance services to be provided by commercial banks than by specialist microfinance institutions

Can I break a commercial lease if the government closes my business?
Question by Hugh U: Can I break a commercial lease if the government closes my business?
I lease a storefront and operate a payday advance business from it. The State government recently passed legislation which forces me out of business because they reduced the fees I can charge by 93%. It’s impossible to pay my expenses, let alone make a profit, under these circumstances. I have two more years left on the lease – do I have any legal grounds to break the lease under these circumstances?

Answer by acermill
Not a chance, unless your lease agreement covered such a situation, which is highly doubtful. You took a business risk and conditions changed. It’s not the landlord’s fault that such occurred. Cough up and learn a lesson.

Optimal Risk-Return Trade-Offs of Commercial Banks: and the Suitability of Profitability Measures for Loan Portfolios (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems) Reviews
Optimal Risk-Return Trade-Offs of Commercial Banks: and the Suitability of Profitability Measures for Loan Portfolios (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems)
This book criticizes the fact that profitability measures derived from capital market models such as the Sharpe ratio and the reward-to-VaR ratio are proposed for loan portfolios, although it is not proven whether their risk-return trade-offs are optimal for banks. The authors demonstrate that even the reward-to-VaR ratio, which is developed for valuating loan portfolios, can be highly misleading. They also show how market discipline, capital requirements, and insured deposits affect decision-making.
