Poverty is multi-dimensional. So no single intervention
can defeat poverty. However, access to financial services forms a fundamental
basis on which many of the other essential interventions depend. The poor, like
everyone else, need a variety of financial services, not just loans. When poor
people have access to financial services, they earn more, build their assets and
cushion themselves against external shocks. Poor households use such financing
to move away from everyday survival to planning the future-that is , investing
better in nutrition, health and education. The multiples roles of the financial
services to the poor parallel the multiple dimensions of the poverty captured in
the Millennium Development Goals.
