Despite the boom and the government's efforts to increase access in rural areas, rural financial markets have shrunk in relative terms. As a result, access to finance by micro, small, and medium-size enterprises and marginal, small, and medium-size farmers - the ""missing middle"" - remains limited, which is significant because these groups are the engines of growth in rural Bangladesh in terms of employment, contribution to GDP, and prospects for future growth. 606 $aRural credit$zBangladesh 606 $aAgricultural credit$zBangladesh 606 $aBanks and banking$zBangladesh 606 $aFinancial institutions$zBangladesh 606 $aRural industries$zBangladesh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRural credit 615 0$aAgricultural credit 615 0$aBanks and banking 615 0$aFinancial institutions 615 0$aRural industries 676 $a332.7/1095492 700 $aFerrari$b Aurora$0892076 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452076403321 996 $aIncreasing access to rural finance in Bangladesh$92083101 997 $aUNINA
