Bill Package for Unified Credit Rating Framework in Parliament

The Parliamentary Committee on Finance discussed a package of seven amending bills submitted by the Ministry of Finance, aiming to create a unified framework for the exchange of credit data and the introduction of a credit scoring system for individuals and businesses. This reform is a prerequisite for the disbursement of the 7th tranche from the Recovery and Resilience Plan. The bills amend key laws governing the banking and credit system, aiming to unify and simplify the provisions. A central pillar of the reform is the upgrade of the data exchange mechanism to produce a unified credit score. The Central Bank will have the authority to supervise the system and impose sanctions. At the same time, banking secrecy is ensured and it is determined which organizations submit and have access to the data. The aim of the reform is to improve the quality of lending, reduce credit risk, and reduce non-performing loans.
