Popis: The regulation of short-term consumer credit markets is heatedly debated around the world. This article uses economic research as a basis for a qualitative assessment of the regulation of the short-term consumer credit market and discusses the experience of the recent regulations implemented in Finland. According to research, the interest rate ceiling is an inefficient way of regulating the short-term consumer credit market. In contrast, the regulations should be based on price transparency and results from behavioral economics.
