The NAMMS Monitoring about the crisis influence on the microfinance market in Russia in the third quarter of 2009 was published at the Russian Microfinance Center (RMC) website, which was prepared by the National Partnership of Microfinance Market Stakeholders (NAMMS) in cooperation with RMC.

Growth of microloans volume is possible already in the first half year of 2010 as long as economy and consumer demand will be further redeveloped.
