Career Opportunity

Post Name : Database Administrator

Background to the Microfinance sector in Bangladesh and the MF-CIB
Microcredit Regulatory Authority (MRA) was created by the Government of Bangladesh to regulate and monitor activities of all MFIs. A Microfinance Credit Information Bureau (MF-CIB) is being jointly established by MRA and Bangladesh Bank in response to regulatory concerns over client protection and systemic risk. Business Finance for the Poor in Bangladesh (BFP-B) is leading the establishment with financial support from DFID, while the project is being managed by Nathan Associates, London- a management consulting firm.

The MF-CIB will build credit history of individual borrowers to improve their creditworthiness and their integration to the formal financial sector. It will also help in fostering the synchronization process of financial data of microenterprises with commercial banks lending. Building and sharing the credit history of clients is central to promoting vertical integration of MF activities to micro-enterprises and Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) development. Consequently, it creates conditions for integration of MF-CIB under MRA and the CIB under Bangladesh Bank to broaden financial products and services.
