Supervising and regulating micro-finance institutions—the Bolivian experience
01.09.1996
This article begins with an overview of regulation of the Bolivian financial system, describes the types of financial intermediaries active in it and the existing supply of credit, and offers an overall assessment of the potential demand for financial services. The final section describes the creation of a new financial intermediary, the Private Financial Fund, which specializes in micro-credit, and provides a description of the regulations which are designed to allow these PFFs to cover a greater number of MSEs than are currently served by the formal financial sector.
