Abstract
Islamic Microcredit is still an emerging concept even in Bangladesh, the motherland for Microfinance. This study reviews empirical evidence on the common findings from the existing literature on Islami Bank microcredit performance on the borrower's poverty alleviation in Bangladesh. We first examine the Islami Bank microcredit impact with respect to its member's progress on poverty alleviation and socioeconomic development. In general, most of the findings from the literature have shown that Islami Bank microcredit borrowers are doing well to reduce their vulnerability and poverty as well as improved socioeconomic status after access credit. However, the paper also identify existing literature gap of Islamic microfinance study and provide recommendation for future scope of study in the field of Islamic microfinance in Bangladesh.
