- Description
- This report examines the prevalence and risks of microcredit borrowing in Bangladesh, considering the debt-asset ratio to determine whether borrowers are taking out loans that they cannot repay and becoming over-indebted. It concludes that repeated borrowing, while it affects short-term liability adversely, does help increase assets more than debt over time. This report was published by The World Bank in 2013.
