Abstract:
Microfinance means providing financial services to low income group.
This paper highlights an overview of Microfinance Programs and Microfinance
Institutions in Bangladesh. In recent years, Microfinance Programs have attracted
so many poor people in Bangladesh as they were not able to borrow money from the
formal sector. There are some issues that have arisen recently regarding the
microfinance institutions in Bangladesh. This paper identified those issues. It has
been identified that there are some issues that could be managed only by the
Government of Bangladesh and some issues which could be solved by the
microfinance institutions themselves. In this regard some suggestions are given.
