Microcredit Bibliography
The bibliography has been catalogued under
six heads: (1) Informal Credit Markets, (2) Banks and the Financial Sector, (3)Rural Financial
Markets, (4) Urban Informal Sector, (5) Cooperatives and (6)Community participation. For more references, please look up Perera and Amin (1993), as well as the FAO Bibliography on Informal sector on Africa and Asia. Like most bibliographies, keeping it updated is a
BIG task ... please do send me any references that you have and didn't find
it here. Email: hsrinivas@gdrc.org
