3 1. Index of tables and figures 1.1. Georgia Georgia is one of the fastest growing market economies among post- Soviet countries. It has stable exchange rates, a liberal currency regime, low predicted domestic inflation and an investor friendly investment regime without any restrictions on profit repatriation. The World Bank s Doing Business 2007 Report awarded Georgia the status of the fastest reformer in the world. In the global ranking of World Bank s Easy of Doing Business Georgia is ranked at 12 th place out of 183 economies in Corruption is at one of the lowest levels among the CIS countries. Georgia enjoys rapidly increasing banking intermediation fueled by a fast- growing SME sector, expanding household consumption and developing infrastructure. Dynamism is underpinned by large scale structural reforms, improved tax administration, liberal tax environment with one of lowest tax rates worldwide, robust legal/regulatory reforms and a new wave of privatizations Summary and key economic figures Area 69,700 sq km GDP real growth rate 2011 {7%} Population 4,46 million GDP per capita 2011 (PPP) US$ 3,

Georgian economy key points The Rose Revolution in November 2003 brought political stability and economic transformation, paving the way for rapid consumption-driven economic expansion and increased demand for banking services. From 2003 to 2007 the GDP growth rate on average was 8.0 %. It had a sharp fall in 2008 due to the war with Russia and dropped further in 2009 due to the global financial crisis. In 2011 International monetary fund expects a GDP growth of 5.5 %. Credit ratings by leading agencies: Standard and Poors - B

5 The number of taxes was cut from 21 to 7 with taken to eliminate exemptions as well as to broaden VAT and profit tax. In 2007 The World bank assessed Georgia as a top reformer, improving in 6 out of 10 areas studied by Doing Business. Georgia has improved its performance by scoring 18 th place in 2008 and 11 th place in According to the Heritage Foundation`s Index of Economic Freedom, Georgia jumped from 105 th place in 2005 to 32th in After the short war of 2008 and the loss of two ethnic regions supported by Russian Federation last year the political relations with Russia remain nearly unchanged, but the political situation itself is stable in Georgia. The IMF reports that irrespective of the tensions with Russia, Georgia`s economy maintains strong economic growth trends. Favorable macroeconomic conditions and sound government policies have positively impacted on the banking sector, which is set to experience sustained growth. It remains underdeveloped by CIS standards but is growing fast. The regulatory environment under the management of the National Bank of Georgia is rather strict but favorable for foreign investors. Local banking institutions have already set up a centralized Credit Bureau. Georgia has a consolidated property registration system allowing users to obtain a title in as little as one day. Foreclosure was complicated, as it required a court order and a public sale of the collateral; however, the Georgian Parliament has passed a law targeted at simplifying foreclosure practices. Technical assistance provided by the NBG, equity investments and credit lines from International Financial Institutions such as International Finance Corporation, Deutsche Entwicklungsgesellschaft, World Bank and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, has improved confidence and facilitated further institutional development in the sector The need of micro financial organizations in Georgia Georgia is a small post soviet country with a population of 4, 4 million and a GDP per capita A citizen`s wealth or poverty mainly hinges on the possibility of being able to borrow money in Georgia. Borrowing from banks is often problematic. Georgian banks operate compared to Western industrialized nations under a rigorous monitoring regime and observe strict lending restrictions from the National Bank of Georgia. Poor people and the people, who can t prove source of revenue, typically have collateral and therefore no chances to take out a loan. Many Georgian citizens especially people with low education levels and from the low-income bracket cannot meet the requirements of the banks and therefore have no access to credit. Micro-finance organizations build a bridge to credit and wealth. While under the supervision of the NBG, they have no strict lending guidelines. Thus, the micro-finance organizations can 4

6 hand out private loans to budding entrepreneurs and corporate loans to companies that are new on the market or have no audited accounts MFO Market Overview The micro finance market in Georgia The micro-finance market is one of the most stable sectors in Georgia. The short war between Georgia and Russia in August 2008 had a negative impact on almost all sectors, including the banking sector. The micro finance sector in one of few which continued to grow despite the war and the financial market crisis is growing. From Q to Q the microfinance sectors grow by 56% (Pr). And Asset growth rate is 47%. At the moment there are 61 registered micro financial organizations in Georgia, most of them are solely operating in Tbilisi. To become a Micro Financial Organization registered under the National Bank of Georgia, the organizations have to fulfill requirements in accounting and restrictions in services. Many small MFOs simply provide Lombard loans or consumer loans. At the end of 2011 (1Q) Total assets of MFO was 316 mln Gel. 5
