*講者簡介:

穆罕默德‧尤努斯(Muhammad Yunus),孟加拉格萊珉銀行創辦,被譽為「窮人的銀家」。 1940 年出生於孟加拉吉大港,於達卡大學獲得經濟學學士和碩士, 1969 年取得美國範德比爾特大學經濟學博士學位。 1972 年尤努斯回到孟加拉,發現傳統銀行不願意貸款給沒有任何擔保的窮人,但尤努斯認為,窮人也有權利獲得金融服務,只要在經濟上獲得自主權,他們便有能力改善生活。 1983 年,尤努斯創立專為人服務的格萊珉銀⾏(Grameen Bank,意為「鄉村銀行」),現時已成為世界規模最大的小額信貸機構之一。 2006 年,尤努斯和格萊珉銀⾏共同獲頒諾貝爾和平獎,表彰他們「從社會底層推動經濟和社會發展的努力」。

*Speaker’s Biography

Muhammad Yunus, founder of Grameen Bank in Bangladesh, also known as the "Banker to the Poor". Yunus was born in Chittagong, Bangladesh in 1940 and finished his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Economics in Dhaka University. In 1969, he obtained doctoral degree in Economics from Vanderbilt University in the United States.

Yunus returned to Bangladesh in 1972 and found that without any guarantee, the poor were excluded from loan services provided by traditional banks. With the vision that the financial systems could and should also serve those with economic disadvantages, Yunus founded the Grameen Bank ("Village Bank" in Bengali) in 1983 to serve the poor. It is currently one of the world’s largest microcredit organisations. In 2006, Yunus and Grameen Bank were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize "for their efforts through microcredit to create economic and social development from below".
