microfinance · Dhaka
The biggest issue currently facing Grameen Bank involves ongoing legal and regulatory scrutiny regarding its governance, ownership structure, and microloan interest rate policies.
Grameen Bank celebrated its 50th anniversary and the 20th anniversary of its Nobel Peace Prize win.
The High Court of Bangladesh issued a rule regarding Grameen Bank’s microloan interest rates.
Grameen Bank is a statutory microcredit bank created by the Grameen Bank Ordinance 1983 (originating from Muhammad Yunus's 1976 Jobra pilot); it is not an MRA-licensed NGO-MFI but a government-chartered specialised bank, hence mra_licensed=false and regulator='other'. Operational figures (members 10.88M, 2,568 branches, 24,485 staff, outstanding loans BDT 177,839.95 million) are as of April 2026 per the official site introduction page; outstanding loans, not annual expenditure, used for loan_portfolio_bdt.
