Who Is Muhammad Yunus?

Muhammad Yunus, an economist and banker from Bangladesh, is a globally influential figure in the fight against poverty and financial inclusion. Founder of the Grameen Bank, Yunus is widely recognized for pioneering microcredit, a financial model that has transformed the lives of millions of disadvantaged people worldwide. In 2006, Yunus and the Grameen Bank received the Nobel Peace Prize for their commitment to poverty eradication and their promotion of sustainable social and economic development.

Muhammad Yunus’s career is a story of innovation and social transformation. Following the success of the Grameen Bank, Yunus exported the microcredit model to over 60 countries, allowing individuals in poverty to access economic opportunities and entrepreneurial finance. Additionally, he introduced the concept of “social business,” founding over 50 social businesses in Bangladesh dedicated to solving issues like access to healthcare, education, and technology. Yunus is also the author of influential books such as Banker to the Poor and Creating a World Without Poverty, where he shares his vision of ethical capitalism.
