Although the Bank is expected to contribute to the development of microfinance, this will eventually be phased out so that the Bank can revert to its core roles as supervisor & regulator of the financial system. Whilst contributing to the development of the microfinance sector, the Bank does not at all compromise its primary roles and responsibilities.
