Abstract

This chapter deals with experience gathered in introducing the idea of ‘New Development Finance’ to the countries of transition in Central and Eastern Europe. In particular, the goal is to improve the access of micro and small enterprises, small farmers and other comparatively weak economic units – the so-called target groups – to credit, deposit facilities and payment services.
