DETERMINANTS OF BORROWING BEHAVIOR OF RURAL HOUSEHOLDS IN KAZAKHSTAN
Abstract
The majority of the Kazakhstani rural population earns their living through non-legally registered subsidiary small households (SSHs). Due to the poorly developed micro-crediting in rural areas, regulatory restrictions to participate in RCP scheme, and the lack of commercial bank branches, the impact of formal FIs on SSHs’ outcomes is still largely unknown and under-investigated. The main objective of this study was to explore the relationships that exist between the socio- economic characteristics of rural households and their borrowing behavior towards formal finan- cial institutions.
