  worthiness of MSME-clients

  expanding demand for financing

Financing, coupled with BDS, can be a unique

Financial Institutions—a business solution to
addressing poverty.


  “If we can spend the early decades of the 21st century finding
    approaches that meet the needs of the poor in ways that
generate profits and recognition for business, we will have found
       a sustainable way to reduce poverty in the world.”
                                        Bill Gates (2008), Davos.
“PBSP aims to combat poverty through enterprise development via job
  generating programs, and by creating and assisting micro, small and
  medium enterprises through credit and non-credit programs. This
recognizes the role which enterprise plays in development, democracy
                and in the protection of human rights.”
                                                  Manuel V. Pangilinan
