About us
Our network
The Italian Microfinance Network – RITMI – was created in February 2008, on the initiative of institutions operating in the microfinance field. In particular, subjects operating in Italy, microcredit and microfinance consultancy companies, study and research centers, private and public associations, solidarity and charitable organizations, promoters, and donors.
The creation of new entrepreneurship, programmes promoting equal opportunities, ethical finance experiences are the activities developed within the Network. Among the working priorities of Ritmi, besides credit to the non-bankable, there is the issue of over-indebtedness and the mortgage crisis.
RITMI is committed, among the institutions practicing microcredit and microfinance, to satisfy the operational needs of these institutions at the political level, to give more political, economic and social visibility to microcredit and microfinance in our country.
