Microfinance and multiple borrowing in Sri Lanka: another microcredit bubble in South Asia? / Tilakaratna, Ganga; Hulme, David   Article
Hulme, David Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract In recent years, there has been an increase in multiple borrowing in the microfinance sector in Sri Lanka, while many microfinance institutions (MFIs) have experienced high levels of borrower turnover, deteriorating portfolio quality and weak financial performance. This has raised concerns about the microfinance sector. However, the debt levels for the majority of borrowers remain at moderate levels, while a number of mitigating factors such as mobilization of borrower savings by MFIs, wide use of pawning among clients and a reduction in donor funds to the sector suggest that a microcredit bubble in Sri Lanka is unlikely in the near future.

New development alternatives or business as usual with a new fa / Banks, Nicola; Hulme, David   Journal Article
Hulme, David Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract The state, market and civil society constitute the three main institutional domains of the 'development' landscape. Perceptions of these three actors have evolved over time alongside conceptualisations of what constitutes and best promotes 'development'. The array of contributions in this special issue points towards a worrying implication for the transformative potential of development activities and interventions. While the new diversity in actors and alliances brings new opportunities for development, we see the majority placing the responsibility for development in the hands of the state and market. Furthermore, the hollowing out of civil society - apparent from the lack of priority given to it in the Global South and the promotion of development as 'responsible consumerism' in the North - represents a missed opportunity for consolidating the progress made in the commitment to poverty reduction since the UN Millennium Declaration. Reaching greater transformative potential would require focusing as much on inclusive social development as on inclusive economic development. Doing so would tackle the big questions of power and inequality that remain among the root causes of poverty today.
