While growing literature discusses social capital and economic development, there is a recent debate on whether or not social capital is capital of the poor. This study assesses the extent of social capital among sample households and its contribution in facilitating access to credit.

Moreover, the formal financial institutions and the government sectors with attention of addressing liquidity problems with rural and urban poor can benefit from this study, significantly.
