The Bank of Greece is preparing a new Code of Ethics regarding non-serviceable loans, which it intends to present within the next few weeks.
Amongst the the new Code’s provisions are the permanent reduction of interest or the bank’s profit margin, being able to change the type of interest without penalties, replacing the old loan with a new one and transferring the loan to a different bank.
The plans for the new Code of Ethics were published in late March, after a series of consultations with the banks and customer unions.
The customer unions requested the new Code clarifies bank obligations when suspending legal action and measures, as well as details regarding the grace period when a borrowed is unable to pay.
