Supporting the creation of access to formal financial services for low-income households holds out the promise of improving the living conditions of poor families and fostering economic development. Furthermore, it is claimed to be a very cost-effective approach because some non-governmental organizations (NGOs); that have been upscaled into microbanks have shown that financial services can be offered to low-income households while covering costs and even earning a moderate profit. Recent studies, however, are sceptical about the high expectations raised by the microfinance approach, since profitable microfinance institutions (MFIs); are the exception rather than the rule. Institutional innovation is called for in order to reproduce these rare successes on a larger scale. This article aims to offer preliminary insights into the potential of two rather new institutional alternatives to upscaling: the creation of microfinance departments at existing for-profit banks (i.e., downscaling); and the founding of greenfield banks. 2014-01-02T18:43:42Z 2014-01-02T18:43:42Z 2003-12 Texto Sección o Parte de un Documento http://hdl.handle.net/11362/10994 LC/G.2216-P en CEPAL Review CEPAL Review 81 application/pdf |
