Tool for Assessment of Cooperatives for Wholesale Lending
Abstract:
In Nepalese context, micro-finance institutions and cooperatives are playing an instrumental role in expanding the frontiers of financial access and reach-out to the rural areas as they are working across the country. There are approximately 34 thousand cooperatives spread all over the country, out of which, some 14 thousand are savings and credit cooperatives. Despite their huge numbers, they have not been sufficiently able to lend their members because of lack of adequate fund and also due to their limited capacity. The commercial banks, on the other hand, have not been able to maintain the high comfort level in lending the cooperatives due to the absence of proper system to rate their efficiency and credibility. #MicroFinance #Cooperatives
