12 Rural Savings and Credit Banks Evaluate Their Performance 2024

In January 2025, the Agrolíbano Foundation, along with the Center for Business Development for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (CDE MIPYME) of the Gulf of Fonseca, began evaluating the performance of 12 rural savings and credit banks. This analysis includes aspects such as internal organization, administrative management, sustainability, and finances at the close of 2024. The savings banks presented documentation on their progress and strategic achievements, highlighting their impact on the local economy by offering accessible financial services to communities excluded from the traditional banking system. This effort supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 1, 5, 8, 10, 16, and 17.
