BUCHAREST, ROMANIA
14-25 July, 2008
The International Development Law Organization (IDLO) is running a new development program in Bucharest in Romania, which will compare and analyze the impact of commercial legislation and regulatory policies in various Eastern European and Central Asian States on the microfinance industry.
The course will analyze the effects of microfinance-specific laws, non-bank financial institutions acts, company laws, non-profit/charity and NGO laws, debtor/creditor rights, consumer protection, (foreign) investment laws, insolvency/bankruptcy, and leasing laws, in addition to comparing various banking regulatory policies and the ultimate effects on the microfinance industry. Innovative instruments designed to increase the flows of commercial capital to microfinance entities, will also be discussed. IDLO will review the latest advancements in internet and cellular phone micro-banking and the regulatory implications of these new mobile banking techniques and relationships.
The training program is designed to be very interactive, therefore participants should come prepared to present and analyze their own national commercial legislation, and its impact on the practice of microfinance. Participant selection is based on educational background, experience in the microfinance sector and participant's willingness to be involved in the sector in the long term, and collaborating on other future IDLO microfinance related activities in his/her country of origin.
The training is designed primarily for legal professionals who advise MFI’s; or who advise commercial banks seeking to downscale; telecom corporations entering the MF industry; or researchers for government law and policy makers, including ministries of finance and central banks. A law degree, though desirable for participation, is not required. Participants should familiarize themselves with the above-mentioned legislation, however, in their own countries prior to the start of the course.
