Abstract

Since its independence the government of Bangladesh had taken various measures to reduce the intensity of poverty on rural people in Bangladesh. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine whether rural financing played any role in reducing rural poverty and thus increased sustainable economic development in Bangladesh. The detreminants of rural poverty is identified here. In this study, priority sector lending such as agricultural sector credit, rural employment, female employment, agricultural production, and credit to gross domestic product and per capita income have been used as independent variables to examine the determinants of rural poverty in Bangladesh for the sample period from 1984 to 2014.
