The result of this study shows that domestic credit affects the poverty reduction statistically significant and positively in the long run. But in the short run, the effect of domestic credit negatively and the response of domestic credit to interest rate is positively. It is because, there is high spread interest rate margin between borrowed and lending rate, in the other side, it were caused financial intermediaries having not expand credit to ¡he pm-poor sectors of economy thus, it will influence poverty rate.
