How does the demand for collateral affect poor person’s capacity to borrow?

Answer»
  • Bank loans require collateral. 
  • Absence of collateral is one of the major reasons which prevent the poor from getting bank loans. 
  • In such cases, they approach the moneylenders.
  • However, the moneylenders charge high interest rates. 
  • Finally the poor may be pushed into a situation from which recovery is very difficult. 
  • Hence the demand for collateral against loans may force the poor to approach informal sources.
