Tatarstan has become the leader in the Volga region in lending to small and medium-sized businesses.

      The Republic of Tatarstan has become the absolute leader among the regions of the Volga Federal District in terms of lending to small and medium-sized businesses. According to the latest data from the Bank of Russia, in April, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the republic were granted 39.5 billion rubles in loans. This figure is almost 30% higher than that of the nearest competitors – Nizhny Novgorod (30.6 billion rubles) and Samara regions (23.3 billion rubles). Meanwhile, the total loan portfolio for businesses in Tatarstan reached 404.5 billion rubles. A key factor in the region's attractiveness to banks remains the high quality of borrowers. The share of overdue debt in Tatarstan is only 3.0%, which is significantly lower than the average level in the Volga Federal District (4.1%) and the national average (4.1%). Experts from the Central Bank attribute the republic's leadership to the high share of manufacturing industries and an active construction sector in the region's economy, which traditionally receive the main support from the banking sector. Against the backdrop of an overall contraction in the SME credit market in the country (-1.0% annual portfolio growth), Tatarstan maintains its status as one of the most reliable and rapidly growing corporate lending markets in Russia.
