https://doi.org/10.21686/2500-3925-2014-4-129-132

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the discussion of the problems of microfinance in developing countries through a detailed analysis of the history and politics of development, operation and regulation of the microfinance sector. Further the article explores the reasons for the failure of microfinance development programs based on the experience of individual countries, and provides a theoretical basis for it. The article also examines policies of microfinance institutions (MFIs), which in some cases, cause significant harm to local production instead of maintaining it. In the final part the article discusses the negative derivative effects of the microfinance application, which is still relevant in many states.
