Christine Engstrom, Bart Raemaekers, and Sabine Spohn of ADB’s Private Sector Operations Department shared the key features of the Microfinance Risk Participation and Guarantee Program. They also discussed how using credit enhancements and working with private commercial banks can improve access to finance for the bottom of the pyramid. Until September 2017, USD575 million of new loans have supported 3.32 million microborrowers, mostly women.

This event is part of ADB's in-house Insight Thursday lecture series.
