Experts described the imbalance between the limited incomes and the daily consumption is one of the main factors of this suffering. Families always talk about economic policies and strategies of the government. The Government exerts more efforts to fill this gap or imbalance. Many economic programs are set to solve these issues. Microfinance is one of these supportive programs.
To increase product in any developing country will support the national economy and support the sustainable development in rural areas as well as the urban ones. Microfinance is one the mechanisms to support poor families to increase their incomes to face the daily increase in prices.
There are many requirements to make such programs successful including the reducing the long process of complicated procedures in these banks to enable these poor families to benefit from these programmes. It is the commitment of these banks to provide these funds according the schedule programs and to reduce waiting of these families for months to benefit from these funds.
