At the completion of the three-year study on ‘Comprehensive Rural Finance’ which is supported by the Bangladesh Bank (central bank), InM has prepared a total of 22 analytical and survey reports, policy papers/policy briefs, and background reports for Bangladesh Bank and relevant policy makers. These reports cover various aspects of the dynamics of rural finance as well as policy issues and recommendations for promoting access to and use of financial services by rural households and enterprises, using both field survey data/and secondary information on the country’s rural financial system. These reports are expected to assist Bangladesh Bank and other policy makers in designing future strategies and policies for ensuring inclusive rural transformation and fostering the country’s inclusive and sustainable development.
