Prof Yunus identified three zones of Interest Rates: Poverty Focused MFIs fall in the
Green and Yellow zones.
CASHPOR has reduced its interest rate to 26%, and entered the “Yellow Zone” as a
poverty focused MFI with an interest rate of no more than 15% over cost of funds; and
plans to get into the “Green Zone” by reducing its interest rate further to 24%.
Green Zone
• Interest to clients equals the cost of Funds at the market rate
plus up to 10%
Yellow Zone
• Interest to clients equals the cost of funds at the market rate
plus 10 to 15%.
Red Zone
• Interest rate higher than the Yellow Zone
