AnnotationThis paper is based on the second round of annual monitoring of Russia's microfinance market, using the same methodology as the first round. The paper provides comprehensive information on the current market situation, operators, structural and quantitative parameters which are key to designing effective policies to promote and monitor microfinance programs and to identify potential areas for investment.In addition, the paper provides a case-by-case analysis of key microfinance providers and to build their profiles.The findings of annual sample-based surveys of microfinance institutions demonstrate a progressive growth of this market segment. This method of debt financing is increasingly common in Russia, gradually becoming a part of the country’s finance system, complementing conventional banking and providing access to loans for those businesses and consumers who do not meet banks' requirements. The overall growth of microfinance operations is estimated to be 1.3 – 1.8-fold between 2003 and 2004. Credit cooperatives were the fastest growing type of MFIs in 2004. In 2004, alongside the growth of operations, MFI performance improved, making microfinance providers even more efficient and financially sustainable. Full Russian Version
