Banco Solidario, formed in 1992 from the NGO PRODEM and a start-up loan from USAID, is one of the non-commercial micro-loan programmes proliferating worldwide which provides small credits at commercially viable rates to the poor who generally cannot access loans from the formal financial sector. In 1996, BancoSol was ranked fourth among a total of 13 private Bolivian banks in terms of solvency, liquidity and administrative efficiency, and had an active portfolio of US$ 59 million (Nueva Economia, 1997).
