“…The link between microfinance elements and women entrepreneurs' business performance is the opportunity for entrepreneurial activity, be it a new venture or expansion (Anoke, 2023). Microfinance elements facilitate income generation for entrepreneurs (Bhatia & Singh, 2023). The identification of a business opportunity and deciding to pursue it initiates a search for external funds, and securing these funds creates opportunities for income-generating activities (Popa et al, 2023).…”

Women’s empowerment is globally recognized, with economic empowerment being a key aspect—enabling decision-making, income growth, and asset ownership. This study investigates the mediating role of opportunity and microfinance elements, along with social capital, in enhancing women’s economic empowerment. Data was collected from 205 female clients across three microfinance banks in Pakistan using closed-ended questionnaires. Employing Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the study reveals strong positive correlations between women entrepreneurs’ sales performance and their ability to secure loans, acquire new skills, and establish networks. Social capital plays a pivotal role in boosting business outcomes. The relationship between loan availability, savings, skill development, social capital, and bonding is mediated by opportunities for business improvement. Vulnerability moderates the relationship between opportunity and women entrepreneurs’ sales success, allowing for business expansion. Microfinance components positively impact women’s economic empowerment.

“…Babajide et al (2015) investigated the determinants of financial inclusion and its impact on economic growth in Nigeria and the evidence shows that financial inclusion is considered as the significant determinant of output in the economy. Bhatia and Singh (2015) postulated that inclusive growth is considered as the long-term phenomenon that can help to promote the living standard of the deprived sections of the society in the perspective of India. Onaolapo (2015) examined the relationship between financial inclusion and economic growth in Nigeria using the data from 1982 to 2012.…”

Land management has gained the utmost importance in the development arena worldwide in recent years. Land-related targets and indicators were incorporated in 5 goals, 8 targets, and 12 indicators of SDG. Different studies have identified the conventional land management system as a reason for inefficient land management in Bangladesh. The government of Bangladesh has taken some initiatives to digitise the land management system. Since 2018, the Land Administration has launched an E-mutation system to update land records. The objective of this research is to investigate the impacts of E-mutation on the service recipients and their perception about it. The research covers 03 circles in Savar Upazila, Union Land Offices, and their service recipients. The target respondents of the study are mutation applicants, Assistant Commissioner (Land), and Union Land Assistant Officers. Both quantitative and qualitative data are used to validate the results of this research. The study reveals that the impact of E mutation on the service recipients is positive, being pleased with the E-mutation system; as it reduces time, cost, and visit (TCV). In addition, it reduces the nuisance by brokers and ensures better service quality. However, nearly four- fifths of the service recipients are dependent to apply for E-mutation due to a lack of knowledge of land-related documents and poor ICT skills. This paper would aid the policymakers to devise further strategies for efficient land management in Bangladesh.

This study aims to investigate the role of inclusive financing practices on poverty eradication in the developing countries context like Bangladesh by utilising annual time series data over the period from 1995 to 2020. The empirical evidence from the study indicates that the macroeconomic influences of inclusive financing on reduction of poverty is not statistically well justified, meaning that no significant statistical relationship has been found between inclusive financing and poverty alleviation in Bangladesh over the study period. But the expected sign of the variables that possess in the specified model gives the remarkable indication regarding the presence of true economic relationship. However, the right direction of the variables related to financial inclusion show that to some extent there have been economic implications from which we could remark that poverty alleviation is positively associated with financial inclusion in Bangladesh similar to many other developing countries across the world.
