The government has decided to introduce new legislation to oversee Microfinance Institutions (MI) operating in the country. The decision was made due to the large number of complaints received against them, Central Bank officials said today

The new piece of legislation titled ‘Microfinance Bill’ will be presented in Parliament soon. This is in addition to another Bill, which provides for the regulation of banks and financial institutions operating in the country. (KB)

    Good move .. Also they need to consider few areas like Date protection within these institutes as some of the banks disclose personal details to other parties..

    There is a financial Ombudsman in our country but as there is no proper law set up its really hard to take action against them as per my knowledge.
