******************************** Muhammad Yunus, Banker to the World's Poorest Citizens, Makes His Case http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/index.cfm?fa=viewfeature&id=1147 Last year, a panel of judges from Wharton joined with Nightly Business Report to name the 25 most influential business people of the last 25 years. On that list was Muhammad Yunus, managing director of Grameen Bank in Bangladesh and a pioneer in the practice of microcredit lending. Grameen Bank received formal recognition as a private independent bank in 1983 and, as of this month, had dispersed close to $5 billion in loans to four million borrowers. Grameen's strategy is to offer miniscule loans to very poor people, giving them the means to generate income and work their way out of poverty. Yunus, featured in a book entitled, Lasting Leadership: Lessons from the 25 Most Influential Business People of Our Times, was recently interviewed by NBR's Linda O'Bryon at the World Health Congress in Washington, D.C.
