The Association for the Development of Microenterprise "ADEMI" was established by a group of Dominican businessmen in 1983 who donated the start-up capital, later receiving support in form of loans and grants from local government, USAID, IDB, GTZ , EIB and other commercial banks. It became obvious in 1997 that ADEMI had become much more than a Micro-credit NGO. It had long reached operational self-sufficiency and its capital was already surpassing 5 of the 12 existing commercial banks. Monetary authorities and international organizations all backed the transformation of ADEMI into a Development Bank which came into effect in January 1998. ADEMI's main challenge has been the democratization of credit in the Dominican Republic. Hide
