This guy says “serious projects”. Now what type of serious business can someone really do with K40,000? These are the types of questions our journalists do not ask. What about interviewing some of the loan recipients to find out how they have fared? Have they really been able to boost their businesses with these types of loans?

Good development as such loans really get impact on beneficiaries. In Lilongwe the SSLLP with support from Kiva provides livestock loans to borrowers (farmers) of up to USD600, however there is no interest and is payable in 18 months. Need t share notes between these organisations.

The other existing banks should borrow a leaf from the interest chargeable by this bank

That’s cool of you Mr Sibaud. Malawi needs people who can wholeheartedly invest in the SME sector. Keep it going!
