中国城市小额信贷业务初探

在我国全面建设小康社会的进程中,城市贫困问题应引起关注。城市小额信贷作为一种新兴的金融工具和业务,是与我国经济和社会发展阶段、发展目标、城市贫困人口现状和需求相适应的金融创新。我国开展城市小额信贷业务有重要的现实意义和现实可行性。其定位应以金融机构为核心,以城市贫困人口为目标客户,运用市场机制,为有劳动意愿与劳动能力的低收入者提供初始资金与相关帮助。应坚持自愿、公平和可持续发展原则。城市小额信贷是由政府专门机构与金融机构以及目标客户组成的运作系统,其运作模式应在坚持以上三个基本原则的前提下借鉴乡村小额信贷的成功经验并结合自身的特点来确定。城市小额信贷的具体运作应以金融机构居于核心地位,但在起步阶段政府的支持必不可少。
