This situations bounds not only big financial institutions such as Banks but as well as Microfinance and Micro-credit institutions, ones that operate under the medium and lower scales of operations based on their capital and populations. However, the population facto tend to change and affect the microfinances and micro-credit institutions as well as SACCOS being the financial institutions that happen to accommodate the huge number of clients in the present days. This is because they provide loans at least affordable rates of interest compared to those of Banks, although not always true in practice. But also they lend small amount of money which happens to be the most required by their clients, in other word their terms of lending as less complex compared to those of the Banks.
Tanzania as well happens to be not on an island of her own, she shares the global economic challenges and changes as any other country.
