Secondly, the ability of long-term financing to provide economies that require and growth and development enough capital to grow to their full potential.

Informal sector advances loans at very high rates of interest; the terms and conditions attached to such loans have given rise to an elaborate
Another major point in the analysis of this case is the competition of Rural Bank of Suares which are Manila-based banks the two other rural banks in the capital city. Manila bank branches don’t offer small loans. In that sense, RBS can use this to their advantage and cater to specific the loan market. However, the more pressing problem is that RBS shares this specific target market with other rural banks in the capital city. RBS aims to distinguish itself from competition through better service.
