KOLKATA: Fusion Microfinance has raised 10 million euro (about Rs 88 crore in local currency) in debt from Bank im Bistum Essen (BIB), a Germany-based cooperative bank.
It's BIB's first ever debt funding in India as the overseas firm looks to be a part of India's microfinance story, which is facing challenges as income generation takes a hit among the weaker section of the population amid a raging second wave of the covid pandemic.
