Which leaves a lot of space for IDBs which are already consistently expanding their presence in SME financing market. Slide 12

14 High borrowing costs are cited as the main obstacle for availability of SME financing Key obstacles for SMEs financing Obstacles from SME s side Obstacles from Bank s side High borrowing costs 20% 48% Inability to provide necessary collateral or guarantees Financing is inavailable in principle Decrease of control over company Other No obstacles 2% 6% 1% 3% 2% 10% 11% 22% 22% 34% high interest rates on loans inability to provide collateral or guarantee inability to provide necessary package of documents financial position is not sound SME financing non-transparency of borrower shortage of potential borrowers with sound financial position bad quality or absence of collateral higher loan reserves insufficient economical and legal literacy of most small entrepreneurs shortage of qualified personnel insufficient experience in the area of SME risk management Reject to answer 5% 14% Russia EU Europe High borrowing costs is the major obstacle for obtaining financing in the SME segment (48%).The next significant obstacle is the inability to provide collateral (22%) Bank loan is the main source of financing but there is a room for growth due to considerable share of financing received from relatives and friends Slide 14

17 According to our estimations, about 1 million SMEs currently require external financing SME segment (turnover, EUR mln) Economically active SMEs, thousands Major industries Share of non-trade entities, % Major SME segments requiring external financing from institutions, thousands (%) Mid-sized (10 25) Small (1.5 10) Micro (<1.5) ~ 15 ~ ~ ~ Manufacturing, Agriculture, Construction Services, Manufacturing, Construction Trade, Services, Transport and Communications 69% 65% 50% Competition and penetration of bank services and external financing ~150 ~600 2 ~10 ~90 ~150 1 = ~10 (~67%) = ~240 (~50%) = ~750 (~38%) = ~2 500 = ~ Matured industrial SMEs 2 Emerging / developing SMEs of all sectors Slide 17

19 The majority of SME financing markets in Russia is in the developing or emerging stage, and there is potential for EIB to make a considerable impact on the SME sector (1) Product for ultimate clients (SMEs) Scenario = (1) product + (2) appropriate distribution technology Three-level financing* (2) Distribution technology Two-level financing** Guarantee Securitization Market maturity level Impact assessment Potential market size Potential impact Short term loans n/a Developed Very large Low Long term loans Developing Very large High Long term loans to nontrade segment Emerging Large Very High Long term loans to innovative segment n/a Emerging Large Very High Leasing to SMEs n/a n/a Developing Medium High *Three-level financing implies work with local development institutions (e.g., VEB and its subsidiary SME Bank) which will supply financing to commercial banks (2 nd level) and after that commercial banks provide loans to SMEs (3 rd level). This option will give EIB the access to a broad client network without establishing direct relations with commercial banks and will significantly reduce cost and risk. This option, however, will lead to lower level of control and will limit the ability for direct SME market impact. ** Two-level financing implies work with Russian commercial banks (including State-owned, privately- owned and international banks) which will provide loans to their ultimate clients (SMEs).

20 Conclusions The development of the SME sector is very important for the Russian economy Diversification from the current concentration on large companies and on natural resources Creation of new workplaces while one-quarter of the employable population already works in SME sector SME sector potentially is a considerable taxpayer a diversified income base for state budget SMEs output demonstrated high growth rates in recent years, about 19% p.a., and is expected to remain double digit in mid-term perspective The Russian government is making efforts on providing support to SME sector by improving business environment and financing activities but the system of state support is still fragmented and not fully transparent Many SME financing markets and financing instruments in Russia are in developing or emerging stage, e.g. long-term financing, financing of emerging businesses, securitization, etc. There is potential for development institutions to make a considerable impact on the Russian economy through enhancement of financial services for the SME sector Slide 20
