中國小額信貸聯盟簡介
中國小額信貸聯盟,簡稱聯盟,英文名稱:China Association of Microfinance (CAM),其前身是“中國小額信貸發展促進網路”,是中國小額信貸領域最早的全國性會員制協會組織。其引進並推動的普惠金融理念已經寫入十八屆三中全會決議,並成為國務院在金融改革領域的重點工作。聯盟堅持農村金融領域實踐,支援公益小額信貸機構發展,得到各方面讚賞。聯盟率先在國內成立網際網路P2P行業自律委員會,在普惠金融和小額信貸領域具有廣泛的影響力。
小額信貸作為一種有效的扶貧方式和一種金融創新,在中國經歷了十多年的實驗、示範和推廣過程。眾所週知,作為最初一批從事小額信貸實驗的國內小額信貸機構大部分是依靠國際組織援助或當地政府支援建立起來的一些非政府、非營利的組織,它們為中國小額信貸的發展起了積極的推動作用,為扶貧事業做出了很大貢獻。但是由於政策及法律方面的限制、小額信貸機構自身體制和能力的局限以及資金來源不足等方面原因,這些機構很難可持續發展。我們認為,作為一種有效扶貧手段的小額信貸,只有納入我國金融改革和發展的整體框架,才能可持續發展,也才能有長效的作用。
在2000年初期國內有關小額信貸的研討會上,小額信貸的研究者和實踐者們多次提出成立行業協會(或網路)的建議,尤其是在2003年9月于北京召開的小額信貸國際研討會上此呼聲更高,並得到了國內有關部門和有關國際機構的重視,在聯合國開發計劃署(UNDP)資助的人民銀行完成的小額信貸政策研究報告中就提出了成立小額信貸行業協會的監管政策。建議由小額信貸行業協會實行行業自律,政府提供一定的政策引導。2003年底,為適應小額信貸發展的需要,參考人民銀行政策研究報告的建議,作為最早開展小額信貸實驗示範及研究的中國社會科學院農村發展研究所和管理著國內規模最大的外援小額信貸項目的商務部中國國際經濟技術交流中心決定發起成立中國小額信貸行業協會(或網路)。後又得到全國婦聯發展部的大力支援。經徵求民政部意見,2005年11月在花旗基金會的資金支援下,中國社會科學院農村發展研究所、商務部中國國際經濟技術交流中心和全國婦聯婦女發展部聯合發起成立了“中國小額信貸發展促進網路”。
在2010年9月17日召開的中國小額信貸發展促進網路的年會上,經出席會員代表大會的全體會員機構代表一致通過,將“中國小額信貸發展促進網路”正式更名為“中國小額信貸聯盟”。聯盟成立初期,會員主要由公益性質的扶貧小額信貸組織構成,隨著中國小額信貸行業的發展,聯盟逐漸吸收了從事小額信貸業務的商業銀行和小額貸款公司等機構作為其會員。 截止2014年12月31日,聯盟的正式會員機構為193家,覆蓋全國29個省市。
自成立以來,聯盟與人民銀行和銀監會等政策和監管部門保持著密切的聯繫與合作,在政策倡導、行業自律、培訓與技術支援、資訊交流和籌資服務等領域開展了大量工作,為會員提供了卓有成效的服務。在花旗網路能力建設項目的支援下,聯盟自身的治理結構和服務水準也得到了改善和提高。每年舉辦的年會和花旗微型創業獎已成為中國小額信貸領域備受關注的重大活動,也是聯盟的品牌性活動。
在全球化背景下,聯盟參考國際小額信貸發展狀況和規律,將小額信貸定義成為貧困、低收入人群和微型企業提供的信貸服務,並進而將小額信貸服務拓展到包括儲蓄、匯款和保險在內的微型金融領域。在關注低端人群金融服務的同時,聯盟也積極促進為所有階層提供全方位金融服務的普惠金融體系的建設,並努力將微型金融納入普惠金融體系之內。
聯盟願景
成為一個有代表性的、可持續的、向會員機構和整個行業提供高品質服務的行業協會。
聯盟宗旨
通過為會員機構提供服務和支援,提高小額信貸機構的覆蓋面和可持續性以及行業的整體能力和水準,為沒有充分享受金融服務的群體(特別是貧困和低收入人群)提供普惠金融服務,促進和諧社會建設。

Introduction of CAM
The China Association of Microfinance (hereinafter referred to as CAM) is the first national member-based association in microfinance sector in China, and it introduced and promoted the concept of inclusive finance, which has been written in the resolution of the third plenary session of 18th Central Committee of CPC and also become the focus of the State Council in the field of financial reform. CAM advocates for the practice in rural finance and supports the development of public-interest microfinance institutions, being recognized by all the parties. CAM took a lead to set up a self-discipline committee of P2P and has a wide influence in the field of microfinance and inclusive finance.
As an effective method for poverty alleviation and a financial innovation, microfinance has experienced ten-year process of experimentation, demonstration and expansion. As we know, most of the very first domestic MFIs engaging in microfinance experiments are those non-government organizations (hereinafter referred to as NGOs) or non-profit organizations (hereinafter referred to as NPOs), relying on the aid from international institutions or the support from the local governments. Although these MFIs have played an active role in facilitating the development of microfinance in China and made a great contribution for poverty alleviation, they can hardly achieve sustainability owing to the restriction by policy and law, the constraint about their own system and capability, and the insufficiency of fund sources etc. We believe thatmicrofinance, as an effective measure for poverty reduction, is unable to realize its sustainable development and exert its lasting function until it is included in the whole framework of financial reform and development of China.
In the domestic microfinance workshops during the early 2000, some researchers and practitioners ofmicrofinance put forward a suggestion to set up a guild or a network for many times, the voice of which was higher especially in the international workshop of microfinance held in Beijing in September of 2003. The relevant domestic departments and international organizations attached importance to this suggestion, subsequently, UNDP assisted the People’s Bank of China (hereinafter referred to as PBC) to completemicrofinance policy research report, in which the supervisory policy pertaining to microfinance guild was raised, which advised the guild to conduct self-discipline and the government to offer certain policy guidance. At the end of 2003, in order to accommodate the development needs of microfinance and with reference to the advice in the policy research report of PBC, Rural Development Institute (hereinafter referred to as RDI) of China Academy of Social Sciences (hereinafter referred to as CASS) that was the earliest one to undertake microfinance experimentation, demonstration and research in China, and China International Center for Economic and Technical Exchanges (hereinafter referred to as CICETE) that governed foreign-aid microfinance program with the largest scale in China, decided to initiate the formation of microfinance guild or network in China, and later obtained strong support from Development Department of All-China Women Federation (hereinafter referred to as ACWF). After requesting the opinion of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, RDI of CASS, CICETE and ACWF, with the fund support of Citi, jointly set up the CAM in November, 2005.
At the general assembly of CAM held on September 17, 2010, all the members present reached a consensus on the Chinese name change of CAM. At the early stage, CAM’s members mainly comprised public-interest microfinance institutions for poverty alleviation. With the development of microfinance in China, CAM has gradually absorbed financial institutions involving in microfinance business, such as commercial banks and microfinance companies. As of December 31, 2014, there were 193 formal members, covering 29 provinces and cities across the country.
Since its setup, CAM has maintained a close relationship and cooperation with policy and regulatory departments like PBC and China Banking Regulatory Commission (hereinafter referred to as CBRC), and undertaken lots of activities in the fields of policy advocacy, self-regulation, training and technical assistance, information exchanges and fundraising services, serving its members in an effective way. With the support of Citi Network Strengthening Program, the governance structure and service level of CAM have been improved. The annual conference and Global Microentrepreneurship Award held by CAM every year have been regarded as significant events in China’s microfinance sector and also been marked as the brand events of CAM.
Under the background of globalization, CAM defines microcredit as credit services provided to the poor and low-income people and microenterprises and then expands the definition of microcredit services to microfinance field including savings, money transfer and insurance by referring to the international microfinance development and rule. While focusing on the financial services targeting the lower-end population, CAM also actively promotes the construction of inclusive financial sectors offering complete financial services to all levels of people and strives to include microfinance into inclusive financial sectors.
