>> The threshold above which people no longer regress into poverty is 9,309 BDT (504 USD PPP)

Am I understanding PPP correctly--this is a value equivalent to what $500 buys in the US?

That's surprising because the paper states this is above the amount available for conventional microfinance; I didn't realize it was indeed that "micro".



Yes. You'll be surprised by how much $100 can get you in a developing country and how few people actually have access to even that amount of money.


But that doesn't matter here, read the previous comment again
