New restrictions from 2026 – Russians with debts will be denied microloans

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Mainfin Bank –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Why are the authorities introducing new restrictions for microloan lovers?

Additional restrictions on the market loans from MFO will be introduced at the initiative of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. The State Duma explained the tightening of regulation by several reasons:

high level of indebtedness of the population – in 2024 alone, over 6.4 million people became new clients of microfinance organizations; easy access to microloans provokes Russians to make impulsive purchases; many borrowers find themselves in a debt hole, because they take out a new loan to pay off the previous one; also, due to low financial literacy, citizens fall into the trap of unscrupulous lenders and fraudulent companies.

Cooling the industry has been discussed by industry participants since 2024 – the Bank of Russia has planned a large-scale reform: MFIs are planned to be divided into three categories, which will determine the list of services offered and the amount of capital required.

How will the restrictions on issuing more than one loan work?

In 2026, it will become more difficult for Russians to get a loan from microfinance organizations – the State Duma is preparing to introduce several bans that will cool the market:

it will not be possible to have more than one loan in an MFI at the same time; a new microloan can be issued three days after the old debt is closed; the maximum overpayment will be reduced from 130 to 100% per annum; the authorities will introduce a three-day “cooling-off period” for microloans – this is already in effect for credit products of banks (money does not become available immediately after signing the contract).

“Tighter regulation could lead to the growth of the shadow segment, which will entail additional risks for borrowers – in pursuit of “easy” money, Russians could become victims of fraudsters,” experts express their concern.

Measures are also planned to be taken to combat illegal lenders – supervision of the industry will be strengthened and advertising of organizations that do not have a license but offer loans at high interest rates and property collateral will be prohibited. Such companies often disguise themselves as pawnshops and consignment shops, concealing fraudulent activity.

Take special control – the State Duma is concerned about migrant transfers

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Mainfin Bank –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Why do MPs want to limit migrants' money transfers?

The appeal of deputies to the Bank of Russia with a proposal to limit transfers by foreigners is due to the lack of effective legislative measures that would allow controlling the income of migrants. Legislators cite several reasons for introducing restrictions:

Foreigners transfer amounts from Russia that are significantly higher than their official incomes; the percentage of unofficial employment with salaries “in envelopes” remains high in the country – the budget does not receive enough taxes; migrant transfers are one of the channels for the withdrawal of capital obtained by criminal means; the lack of control leads to negative economic and social consequences for the country.

“The majority of migrants do not pay any taxes in Russia, but they take large sums out of the country: last year alone, over 14 billion dollars were sent to Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan – essentially, this is black cash,” MP Sergei Mironov previously stated.

The fight against illegal employment and money laundering are the key reasons why authorities want to introduce legislative restrictions on transfers.

What restrictions for migrants does the State Duma propose to introduce?

Deputies proposed to limit the amount of migrant transfers – foreigners will be able to send home funds not exceeding the amount of their own salary. If a migrant wants to transfer an amount greater than their official salary, the bank will be forced to request a declaration that will confirm the legality of the income received.

The government also proposed increasing a number of duties related to migration registration and taxing money transfers made by foreigners. Deputies recalled that last year alone, the number of foreigners in Russia increased by 9.5 million people, and another 700,000 migrants are in the country illegally.

They will link it to housing prices – the State Duma wants to increase the amount of maternity capital

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Mainfin Bank –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

What innovations do LDPR deputies propose for young parents?

The amount of maternity capital for the birth of a second child may be set in an unfixed amount, depending on real estate prices. LDPR deputies have prepared their proposals to stimulate the birth rate:

for the birth of a second child, parents will be paid the cost of housing with an area of 40 sq. m.; for the birth of a third child, full or partial repayment will be available mortgages in an amount equivalent to an area of 40 square meters; it is proposed to conduct an experiment on the implementation of initiatives in one of the regions in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the mechanism.

However, the proposal of the deputies is still just an idea; its implementation requires an assessment by the relevant departments, development and approval of the bill. The government has not reported on the consideration of the initiative.

How else does the State Duma plan to increase the birth rate in the country?

The Russian authorities are seriously considering stimulating the birth rate – for this purpose, the Demographic Council was created in early 2025. The members of this association proposed:

introduce corporate demographic standards at enterprises; create conditions for the resettlement of young families to villages; prohibit teenagers from having abortions without parental consent; change the Constitution, giving the embryo basic human rights; limit the commissioning of small apartments – developers must think about families.

“A good solution for large families would be to develop a domestic car – comfortable, large and roomy,” the People’s Front proposed.

Another bill currently under consideration in the State Duma proposes a 25% increase in the amount of maternity capital. The full amount is to be paid for the birth of each child, including 1.5 million rubles for the second, 2.6 million rubles for the third and subsequent children.
