Insurance, Pension and Mortgage markets - are the emerging markets with its financial instruments and institutions - savings institutions operating on a contractual basis.

Need for the provision of Mortgage Markets in the capital markets, which is characteristic for developed countries, due to a number of circumstances. Firstly, mortgage loans are always provided with real guarantee in the form of land or buildings. Secondly, mortgage loans are not standard parameters and therefore it is difficult to implement in the secondary market. Thirdly, - mortgage markets is strictly regulated by special government agencies in contrast to other long-term capital markets in developed countries.
