Benchmarking for Russian MFIs

In January 2005 RMC has started pilot phase of MFI Market Analysis that is being carried out in cooperation with MIX Market. It is planned that 5 Russian MFIs will participate in this Project. They will be filling out specialized data collection forms. First part of the Project is assumed to be completed by the beginning of March, 2005. In accordance with the pilot phase results RMC and MIX Market will sign Partnership Agreement in April-May, 2005 for further implementation of the Project in the territory of RF.

Unfortunately, as of today, most of Russian MFIs are not represented in MixMarket network. Therefore, Russian segment of world microfinance market is practically inaccessible for most donors and investors involved in MFIs financial support. In order to contribute to improving current situation in this area, RMC has taken initiative of conducting this project in cooperation with MIX Market.

For more detailed information about the Project you may contact RMC Business Development Director Rigo Ovchiyan (rovchiyan@rmcenter.ru)
