Description

People’s Credit and Finance Corporation (PCFC) provides microcredit loans to various financial partners who in turn help marginalized people finance their microbusinesses and other needs. But Erwin Idong, Head of PCFC’s treasury department, wonders if there is more that PCFC could do to reach more poor people in the Philippines through its credit facility channeling to Microfinance Institutions (MFIs). Students learn about the structure of microfinance programs and the progress of poverty alleviation as they help Idong determine what strategy to use to increase PCFC’s target MFIs and end-clients.
