Global X has had many chats with Muhammad Yunus, but most of the time when the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize laureate was talking to other interesting people, such as Peter Gabriel, Pamela Hartigan, Vera Cordeiro, Rachel Payne, Sakena Yacoobi or Albina Ruiz.
Global X even met his daughter Monica Yunus, a soprano with the Metropolitan Opera in New York who sang in French just for him (and a few thousand other people): a piece from Gounod's Romé et Juliette. Her French was very good, thought Global X at that time.
At last, a few weeks ago, Global X had a chance to sit down with the Professor to have a little chat. Just the two of them (and a movie crew).
Global X, for once, was mesmerized and actually became speechless. Listen to Professor Yunus as he tells the story of the first US$27 loan in a village of Bangladesh, the loan that launched the microfinance movement. Watch him as he recalls how surprised he was that it took so little money to free village women from modern-day slavery, humiliation and torture.

the information costs and risks are much higher than in the commercial credit lending. Therefore many commercial banks are not working in the area of microcredits. The interest rates capture these costs.
Not sure if you've gotten an answer to this yet, but as I understand it it's because of the fees required to administer a loan - a loan takes say, $200 to set up - this fee doesn't change no matter how large or small the loan. $200 is a small percentage of a large loan, but it's a huge percentage of a microloan. Thus the higher interest rates are needed to cover costs. (Keep in mind the average microloan is like, $500)
Got to thinking it's nice that a brown person is taking the lead instead of a white person. I'm a white person and I get tired of seeing the nice white people running around trying to help the brown people.
Don't get me wrong - we all need to help each other out to bring peace and justice to people everywhere!!! But it's refreshing to see a leader from the area taking charge. Peace and love to all.
This is good news. Media are you listening? Why not plaster this across front pages for a month rather than war and hate??? I'd bet the whole world changes OVERNIGHT seeing some GOOD NEWS for a positive change.
