At present, the concept of proportional regulation of professional creditors’ activities is increasingly applied by financial regulators in different countries within the prudential supervision frameworks. For the Russian financial system, the experience of countries which are close to the Russian Federation as regards the standards of economic development, economic structure as well as socioeconomic and political conditions is believed to be more relevant.

Key words: мicrofinance, financial inclusion, prudential regulation, risk-based.
