About this statute

This provision says the law sets out how microfinance activities are organized. This article defines key terms used in the microfinance law. This article divides microfinance institutions into four categories. Informal micro finance institutions in this category do not need Central Bank authorization, but they must adopt internal by-laws and meet several registration and reporting obligations. Second-category microfinance institutions must follow the category rules, including a Central Bank-set deposit threshold and a limit of one point of operation.
