Analysis of the main directions of development of the market for collateral services as part of the system of the financial market of the Russian Federation is relevant in today’s economic realities. In this paper, the analysis allows to conclude that the institutional development of the market of the Lombards corresponds to the moment the requirements of the financial market. Key words: risks, pawnshop, microfinance, affordability. JEL classification: J40, J49. Financial market regulation in modern Russia is carried out by the Bank of Russia. The regulator performs the functions of regulation, control and supervision entities of the financial market, including such non-Bank financial institutions like pawn shops. They are the part of the credit system, which ensures the needs of the population in the segment of consumer lending. The Programme on the main directions of development of the financial market of the Russian Federation, adopted by the Board of Directors of the Bank of Russia 26.05.2016, identified the key objects, interested in the development of the Russian financial market, namely: – citizens of the Russian Federation, which should be available financial services, which in turn should improve the quality and living standards of the population; – the economy of the Russian Federation, which formed the financial market should contribute to growth, risk management and efficient allocation of financial resources; – the financial market as an independent part of the Russian economy, with potential for development core indicators [7]. 4 VOLUME 3, No. 1 (9), 2017 Lombard represents the oldest type of financial institution that provides the population’s access to Finance services which to this day are in high demand. The social significance of pawnshops due to the specificity of provided services. If a citizen could not just get the money back or decided not to return, loan, in any case will be considered suppressed, regardless of the amount that will be able to get the pawn shop in the sale of property held by it as collateral. Thus, the analysis of the main directions of development of the market for collateral services as part of the system of the financial market of the Russian Federation is relevant in today’s economic realities. The microfinance market in the Russian Federation is represented by three main players, which is a non-Bank financial institutions within the meaning of Federal law from 21.12.2013 No. 353-FL “On consumer credit (loan)”, namely, microfinance institutions (hereafter MFIs), credit consumer cooperatives (further-CPC) and pawnshops [24]. Control, supervision and regulation of the market of collateral services by the Bank of Russia.

  • Russia and the IMF: a Sordid Tale of Moral Hazard
    Russia and the IMF: A Sordid Tale of Moral Hazard STEFAN HEDLUND T he first summer of the new millennium was marked by renewed controversy around the issue of Russia's relation to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). As Swiss prosecutors pressed on with their probes into alleged Russian money laundering, suspicions again carne to the fore that billions of dollars of IMF funds intended to support the rutile had been illicitly diverted via a maze of accounts in Western banks, notably the scandal-ridden Bank of New York. Although allegations of this type constitute a serious embarrassment to those concerned, there appears to be little danger of anyone's actually having to accept personal blame. Given the massive amounts of money involved, the investigations are likely to drag on for many years, as are the debates on what really happened. But few if any significant truths or admissions of guilt are likely to come on record. There is, quite simply, too much high-level politics involved for truth or justice to prevail. However, there may be some benefit in mapping, as far as possible, the story of IMF involvement in Russia, how it unfolded, and how it was brought to such an embarrassing end. 1 argue that there have been significant problems of moral hazard involved that should have been taken into account from the outset. The merits of the argument should be sought in a different direction from sim- ply looking for the trail of a few billion dollars that are missing. At stake is the very essence of Western relations to Russia, at a crucial point in that country's development.

  • School of Autocracy: Pensions and Labour Reforms of the First Putin Administration
    Ivan Grigoriev, Anna A. Dekalchuk SCHOOL OF AUTOCRACY: PENSIONS AND LABOUR REFORMS OF THE FIRST PUTIN ADMINISTRATION BASIC RESEARCH PROGRAM WORKING PAPERS SERIES: POLITICAL SCIENCE WP BRP 24/PS/2015 This Working Paper is an output of a research project implemented at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE). Any opinions or claims contained in this Working Paper do not necessarily reflect the views of HSE Ivan Grigoriev1, Anna A. Dekalchuk2 SCHOOL OF AUTOCRACY: PENSIONS AND LABOUR REFORMS OF THE FIRST PUTIN ADMINISTRATION3 The early 2000s marked a surge in uncertainty in Russian politics caused by the succession crisis and the profound political turnover it triggered. This uncertainty could resolve in a number of ways, each leading to a different political development. We trace the actual way out of this uncertainty and suggest that the major factor to condition the further regime trajectory was the way reforms were conducted. The article questions the teleological approach that sees government as knowingly and purposefully building autocracy, and contributes to the tradition emphasizing the plurality of possible regime developments (Golosov 2011) and the role of contingency therein (Hale 2004) by providing a more systematic treatment of such contingency. We use insights from basic coordination game theory and cognitive institutionalism to show how local reform practices become accepted as a trusted way of interaction by political actors and stick with the regime in a path dependent manner. This intuition is substantiated with a case- study of pensions and labour reforms. Course of these reforms determined the major features of the Putin regime, such as building up a single party of power, crowding out the political market, opposition decay, and informal institutionalisation.
