World Bank Technical Paper No. 295. The progress made by the countries of Central and Eastern Europe in privatizing state-owned enterprises has created millions of new shareholders. But for the citizenry to buy and sell shares, these countries must develop stock markets and related institutions such as brokerages, clearing and settling organizations, and regulatory agencies. This paper examines the role of capital markets in the new market economies of Central and Eastern Europe and to what extent governments in the region should encourage the development of such markets. The authors address questions of whether the capital markets will serve merely as a forum for trading stocks or become a source of new equity capital to help restructure the enterprises of the region and whether governments should take a hands-off approach by letting the necessary institutions develop as they are needed or should actively create stock exchanges and establish the overall legal and regulatory framework.

Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: A+, Harvard University, course: Business Management, language: English, abstract: The Grameen Bank is a financial organization that provides microcredit loans largely, but not exclusively, to women in rural Bangladesh. These small loans are provided to people who wouldn't normally have access to the conventional banking system. No collateral or legal agreement is required for those wishing to take out these small loans. Instead, lending is based on a system of mutual trust and accountability. The system of borrowing and lending is administered in a very different way from normal banks. Grameen looks to work with its clients and let them determine their repayment plans and help them should they have problems in meeting these. Surprisingly, the loan repayment rate is very high, even without formal agreements in place. The founder of the Grameen Bank, Professor Muhammad Yunus, believes that providing poor people, especially poor women, with credit can actually be an effective weapon in combating poverty and a tool for enabling socio-economic development. Conventional banking has tended to focus on men, but Grameen gives high priority to female borrowers, arguing that it empowers them and enhances their status in society. On the organization's website, Professor Yunus states that, "these millions of small people with their millions of small pursuits can add up to create the biggest development wonder".

Muhammad Yunus set up the Grameen Bank in his home country of Bangladesh with a loan of just £17, to lend tiny amounts of money to the poorest of the poor - those to whom no ordinary bank would lend. Most of his customers - as they still are - were illiterate women, wanting to set up the smallest imaginable village enterprises. It was his conviction that this new system of 'micro-credit', lending even such small sums, would give such people the spark of initiative needed to pull themselves out of poverty. Today, Yunus's system of micro-credit is practised around the world in some 60 countries, including the US, Canada and France. His Grameen Bank is now a billion-pound business. It is acknowledged by world leaders and by the World Bank to be a fundamental weapon in the fight against poverty. Banker to the Poor is Yunus's enthralling story of how he did it: how the terrible famine in Bangladesh in 1974 focused his ideas on the need to enable its victims to grow more food; how he overcame the sceptics in many governments and among traditional economic thinking; and how he saw his micro-credit extended even outside the Third World into credit unions in the West. Such is the importance of his book that HRH the Prince of Wales has contributed a Foreword in which he hails 'a remarkable man [who] spoke the greatest good sense'.

Analyzes the role of expected income in entrepreneurial borrowing. Poorer individuals are safer borrowers because they place more value on the relationship with the bank. The authors study the dynamics of a monopolistic bank granting loans and taking deposits from overlapping generations of entrepreneurs with different levels of expected income. Matching the evidence of the Grameen Bank, they show that a bank will focus on individuals with lower expected income, and will not disburse dividends until it reaches all the potential borrowers. The authors find support for their results using data from a household survey from Bangladesh. Various measures of expected income are positively and significantly correlated with default probabilities.

The Grameen Bank of Bangladesh has been extending small loans to poor borrowers (primarily women) to promote self-employment and income generation since 1976. The apparent success of the Grameen Bank (that is, recruitment of clients, investment of loans, recovery rates on invested loans and profit margins) has made microcredit a new model for poverty alleviation and sustainable development. Anthropological research results on Grameen Bank lending to women presented in this book, however, illuminates the link between the success of the bank and debt-cycling of borrowers. The priority of earning profits to insure institutional economic viability caused Bank employees at the grassroots level to emphasize increasing the number of loans disbursed and loan recovery. By using the joint liability model of lending, the Bank workers and borrowing peers impose intense pressure on clients for timely repayment. Many borrowers maintain their regular payment schedules, but do so through a process of loan recycling (that is, pay off previous loans with new ones) that considerably increases borrower debt liability. The debt burdens on individual households in turn increase tension and anxiety among household members and produce unintended consequences for many clients.This book examines women borrowers' involvement with the microcredit program of the Grameen Bank, and the grassroots lending structure of the bank; it illustrates the implications of Grameen lending for the borrowers, their household members and bank workers. The focus of the study is on the processes of village-level microcredit operation; it addresses the realities of the day-to-day lives of women borrowers and bank workers and explains informant strategies for involving themselves in this microcredit scheme. The study is on the power dynamics of everyday lives of informants as they affect women borrowers' relationships within the household and the loan centers, and bank worker relationships within the loan center and the bank.
