(Davos, Switzerland) — Bangladeshi economist Muhammad Yunus won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for founding the Grameen Bank in 1983, born out of a pilot project he started in 1976 to alleviate poverty and empower the country’s marginalized poor through microcredit. Last year, at the age of 84, Yunus stepped into a new role as a politician. After the resignation of Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Aug. 5 following weeks of nationwide protests against her 15-year rule, President Mohammed Shahabuddin appointed him to form an interim government and to be its chief advisor. He took the oath of office on Aug. 8.
