Cadez: New wave of investment in production announced
Sertic said that the objective is to get the banks interested in entering voluntary, out-of-court debt settlement processes and speeding up bankruptcy procedures.
Petrovic: We do not think 2015 will see economic growth
The amendments to the Law on Bankruptcy will be prepared for a public debate in agreement with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, he added.
Lubeck pointed out that Serbia has a high percentage of NPLs, whose share in the portfolio of Serbian banks reached 23 percent at the end of 2014 according to the IFC data.
On the behalf of the Serbian Chamber of Commerce (PKS), the agreement was signed by PKS Chairman Marko Cadez.
