Paperback. In the dry season of 2025, I sat in the manager's office of a microfinance institution on Commercial Avenue, Bamenda. The fan was not working. The lights were cutting in and out because of ghost town days. On the desk were three things: a ledger of unpaid loans, a newspaper headline about ongoing insecurity, and a framed certificate that read "Best MFI in the Northwest Region, 2019."The manager looked at me and said a sentence I have not forgotten: "We are not failing because we don't know how to lend. We are failing because we don't know who we are when things go bad."That sentence is what this book is about.Between 2020 and 2025, I watched six commercial banks, fourteen microfinance institutions, and three credit unions in Bamenda navigate a prolonged convergence of shocks: armed conflict in the Northwest and Southwest regions, the aftershocks of COVID-19, inflation, capital flight, and a youth population that represented both the greatest credit risk and the greatest market opportunity. Some institutions closed branches or surrendered their licenses. Some merely survived. And a few, against all expectations, grew their loan portfolios and reported positive returns.The difference was rarely the interest rate. It was rarely the core banking software. It was rarely the donor grant.The difference was culture. Specifically, _risk culture_: the shared assumptions, values, and behaviors about how risk is identified, discussed, and acted upon inside an institution when no supervisor from Yaounde or COBAC is present.This book asks the question that kept me up at night during those five years: Does risk culture explain why some financial institutions in Bamenda remain profitable in crisis, while others do not?The answer matters because Bamenda is not an outlier. I believe it is a preview. Cities across the Sahel, the Great Lakes, and other fragile and conflict-affected contexts face the same combination of insecurity, informality, and financial pressure. If I can understand how culture protects profitability here, maybe we can protect livelihoods in similar settings elsewhere. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
