Ranking of regional guarantee funds based on 2015 results

AK&M Rating Agency presents an up-to-date ranking of guarantee institutions providing infrastructure support to small and medium-sized businesses in Russian regions. Our review is based on the guarantee funds’ performance in 2015.

As usual, the basic background information was directly provided by the guarantee institutions agreeing to be officially ranked by AK&M Rating Agency. Besides, we used additional data accumulated from public sources (the Federal State Statistics Service, the Bank of Russia, etc.).

According to the existing comparative analysis methodology, AK&M Rating Agency ranked the guarantee institutions by an integral index factoring in both the funds' efficiency in attracting off-budget resources for the financing of SME businesses in the region and the exposure to potential risks related to the possible liquidity loss or financial destabilization of the guarantee institution.

In 2015, Russian guarantee funds had to operate amidst a continuing stagnation in the segment of small and medium-sized businesses in the wake of a general macroeconomic decline. A characteristic feature of the sustained recession is a 9.3% contraction in lending to small businesses, while the overdue debt percentage soared almost twice (from 8.0% to 14.8%).

This has affected, even though more implicitly, the performance of guarantee institutions. In particular, the consolidated surety portfolio of the ranking participants decreased by more than 7% in 2015. The guarantee capital multiple continued to slide reaching a mere 108% across the selected funds against 121% the year before, an evidence of the guarantee funds’ extremely low efficiency in using budgetary resources to support small and medium-sized businesses.

Note: For the guarantee fund of Stavropol Krai, we provide an indicative value of the surety portfolio as of October 1, 2015.

*) The Guarantee Fund of Primorsky Krai was included in the ranking following its official publication

Most of the changes in the ranking arise from a shorter list of funds ranked (50 funds against 60 the year before).

Just as we expected, almost all ranking leaders maintained their positions. The guarantee institutions of Russia’s two capitals were predictably on top of the ranking, despite their lower integral indices due to a contraction in the surety portfolios and an increase in the balance loss ratio.

Speaking about the advancement leaders, of special note is Belgorod region (which soared from the 41st to the 16th position owing to a more than twofold growth of the surety portfolio and an extremely low loss ratio of 0.17%), the guarantee institutions of Amur and Vologda regions which advanced 15 positions in step, as well as the Association “Business Support Center – Microfinance Institution of Kursk region” which moved 16 positions upwards as its surety portfolio increased by 116%.
