On October 20-24, 2009 the Russian delegation was invited by the SANASA Development Bank to get acquainted with the experience of Sri Lanka microfinance development. This visit is timely and topical since microfinance is one of the anti crisis priorities of the Russian Federation Government as an instrument of struggle with unemployment and small enterprise development, which underlines the importance of getting acquainted with successful international experience in this sphere.
During the visit the delegation held two official meetings with the management of regulatory authorities responsible for the Sri Lanka microfinance development. The issues of creating favourable conditions for microfinance performance development by corresponding regulation of banking sector, credit cooperation sector and other microfinance organizations were the main topics for discussion.
The meetings resulted in necessary analytical materials about the condition of banking and microfinance market of Sri Lanka, as well as the list of main regulatory acts given to the Russian delegation.
Thus, the visit was useful both from theoretical and practical points of view. For further development of the international cooperation and experience exchange between the National Partnership of Microfinance Market Stakeholders (NAMMS) and the SANASA Development Bank, it was agreed to invite the top management of the SANASA Development Bank to Moscow on November 17-19, 2009 to participate and speak at the VIII National Conference on Microfinance organized by NAMMS and supported by the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation and the RF Ministry for Economic Development.
