The aim of the research is to identify the ways of the cluster, the dynamics of its variability, the growth rates as well as the realization of its potential and obstacles for it. The study investigates to identify the unity of the interrelated institutions involved in the financial services as being a necessary condition for the formation of the clusters in the sector. For the purposes of this work, a financial cluster is defined as a unity of sub-clusters, such as commercial banks, microfinance institutions, credit unions, insurance companies, pension funds and the stock market.
