The Central Bank will tighten the requirements for issuing loans
Economy
From 1 July, the Central Bank will tighten the rules for issuing loans to the population.
The regulator explains the introduction of the new rule by the fact that it will help assess household incomes, taking into account unofficial sources, and encourage commercial banks to issue loans responsibly.
The average monthly income will be calculated based on the last 6 months' data, including salaries, pensions, income on bank accounts, taxes paid and other financial indicators. If the loan term exceeds 36 months, the average monthly income will be calculated for the corresponding period.
For mortgage loans, the Central Bank sets the loan term at 180 months (15 years) instead of the originally planned 120 months.
The new requirements will apply only to 85% of the banks' loan portfolio, with the remaining 15% left at the discretion of credit institutions. At a meeting with journalists, Central Bank First Deputy Chairman Nodirbek Saydullayev noted that the new rules will affect only commercial banks and microfinance organisations connected to the Credit Information Bureau.
The Central Bank does not expect that the tightening of rules will affect the pace of lending to the population after the introduction of new restrictions.
