| | Les produits financiers sont au coeur de l’entreprise des fournisseurs de services financiers - ils représentent ce qui est“ vendu ”aux clients. Comme beaucoup d’autres entreprises, le fournisseur de services financiers est guidé par les forces du marché et cherche à identifier et satisfaire les besoins de sa clientèle tout en optimisant sa rentabilité. Les clients peuvent être des individus ou des compagnies et leurs besoins en services financiers varient entre le besoin de mettre de l’argent de côté en lieu sûr, d’emprunter par déficit d’argent ou bien en envoyer à un parent dans une zone rurale. Quelqu’un qui fournit des services financiers doit donc décider quelle panoplie d’offres de produits proposer à ses clients, et quels montants d’intérêts et commissions exiger pour assurer une entreprise durable. | |

| Type de Document | Technical Guide | | Abstrait/ Desciption | Traditionally, policies towards rural finance have been centered on the extension of credit, often subsidized and directed, to rural areas, and have ignored the reality that rural people demand a diverse array of financial services, including savings, money transfers, insurance and credit. Today’s financial systems approach to rural finance recognizes that a wide menu of financial services (priced to cover costs) is needed, as part of a broader farmer support package, in order to reach out to the greatest number of people in rural areas. Successful microfinance organizations have had to tackle, not only the problems of delivering products and services to low-population rural areas, but also to take into account the wide diversity and seasonality of their client’s income sources (beyond simply agricultural production and on-field labour). This guide by the World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU), draw on cases of innovative practices in rural finance in Central America, Brazil, Ecuador, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and the Philippines, and makes a number of recommendations relating to the successful operation of sustainable rural finance institutions. Recommendations include the need to: - Assess the demand of rural clients for multiple financial services;
- Identify and examine all income sources and expenses of their clients at the household level; and
- Assess environmental credit risks associated with production and market cycles.
The guide also reviews a range of rural finance products and delivery mechanisms including: - Long-term agricultural investment loans, short-term rural enterprise and farm loans;
- Lending against warehouse receipts and group-based lending;
- Buyer and supplier credit;
- Savings;
- Leasing;
- Insurance – including credit, savings, funeral and crop insurance options;
- Remittances – exploring how to best to link remittance receivers to formal financial institutions.
This is a short document which provides a useful introduction to the subject of financial products that meet the needs of rural populations. | | Mots-clé | FINANCIAL PRODUCTS; AGRICULTURAL LENDING | | Pays | Ouganda; Le Salvador; Brésil (le) | | Date de publication/ de sortie | décembre 2003 | | Télécharger | | |
