Working in microfinance

Ashley Lait interviews Onindita Islam, an economics graduate from Queen Mary, University of London, who is now working in microfinance

AL Please tell us a little about yourself and where you first studied economics.

OI I’m from Bangladesh, a thriving developing country in South Asia. I have lived in its capital, Dhaka, most of my life. Right now, I am working at BRAC, one of the country’s largest microfinance institutions and the world’s largest non-governmental organisation. I was first exposed to economics at secondary school. I fell in love with the subject and there was no looking back from it. In my GCE O-levels, I scored an A in economics and that’s when I decided to study the subject for my undergraduate degree.
