Another in our occasional series on "Why flexible deposit services are of value" There was an old man in Sri Lanka who kept his false teeth with his banker. Secure in her vault they remained by default, and he only retrieved them to thank her.

In Hrishipara, our Diarists, for the first time in many months, felt that the current month (May) was much worse than the previous month. See the detailed resons at Hrishipara Daily Diaries - Corona virus (google.com) #financialinclusion #covid19

More Hrishipara Diarists thought that March had been better than February this year and fewer thought it had been worse, but a third of them detected no change. See more at sites.google.com/site/hrishipar… #covid19 #financialinclusion

The Hrishipara Diarists thought February 2024 somewhat better than January. See more at sites.google.com/site/hrishipar…

The outrage of this- when thousands of Bangladeshi factory owners break labour with total impunity daily. Pure vindictive pettiness against a Bangladeshi the whole world respects and admires.

The Hrishipara Diarists didn't see much difference between December and November - and income remains the main reason. See more at sites.google.com/site/hrishipar… #financialinclusion #COVID19

The Hrishipara Diarists retreated from the highs of October and fewer than half of them considered November better than October. See more at sites.google.com/site/hrishipar… #Covid_19 #financialinclusion
