Debitum Investments in Dienas Bizness: What’s Next for Latvia’s Alternative Finance Sector?
Our Chief Operations Officer Anatolijs Putņa was featured in this week’s Dienas Bizness, offering a professional perspective on the evolution and growing maturity of investment platforms in Latvia.
Strengthening the Foundation of Alternative Finance
In his commentary, Anatolijs underscores the critical need to distinguish between licensed investment platforms and unregulated providers, especially in a market where investor trust and regulatory alignment are paramount. As he points out, investor protection and compliance frameworks are not optional – they are the foundation of sustainable long-term growth.
“It’s crucial for companies to understand the difference between unregulated platforms and licensed brokerage firms,” said Anatolijs. “Standards and investor protection vary significantly, and this impacts trust, stability, and long-term results.”
Latvia’s Emerging Role in European Alternative Finance
The article highlights how platforms such as Debitum Investments, Mintos, TWINO, and others are playing an increasingly important role in supporting Latvian SMEs and attracting international capital. Each year, these platforms help raise tens of millions of euros, enabling local businesses to scale, innovate, and build resilience in the face of global economic shifts.
Anatolijs also notes that more international companies are choosing Latvian platforms for their financing needs – a testament to the country’s robust infrastructure, transparent business environment, and maturing fintech ecosystem.
Looking Ahead
At Debitum Investments, we remain committed to building a safer, smarter, and more transparent investment environment. We’re proud to stand alongside our peers in helping shape the future of p2p investments and alternative finance in Latvia – and across Europe.
