Development of the non-banking market in the Republic of Moldova

Abstract

The qualitative and continuous consolidation of the non-bank lending sector indicates a trend of transforming microfinance intermediaries into institutions that provide financial services professionally, these entities being an affordable alternative for lending to the population as well as small and medium enterprises. The significant dependence of the enterprises on the bank financing and the limited access to alternative financing sources determine that these enterprises are extremely vulnerable in the conditions of restricting the bank credit. The purpose of the research is to describe the situation in the field of research by elucidating the existing problems at the current stage of financing on the non-banking market in the Republic of Moldova.
