Debt Restructuring and NPL Resolution Workshop
Budapest, 3 March 2015
- Piroska M. Nagy (EBRD) and Ádám Balog (MNB)
The Central Bank of Hungary (Magyar Nemzeti Bank, MNB) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) held a prominently attended workshop under the Vienna Initiative on ways to assist banks’ and the authorities’ efforts at the resolution of non-performing loans (NPLs) through concrete and sustainable actions. Leading bank groups operating in Hungary, potential investors and IFIs discussed the legal, tax and regulatory environment in Hungary for NPL resolution. They also examined in-house NPL management, including out-of-court restructuring and ways to facilitate sales of corporate NPL portfolios as well as experiences with asset management companies (“bad banks”). International professionals set out examples of international best practice.
