Credit Interest Can Be Reduced - Zakir Nuriyev
Baku / 06.10.17 / Turan: Solving liquidity problems created an opportunity to lower loan interest, said Zakir Nuriyev, President of the Association of Banks of Azerbaijan, at the Fifth Fair of Investors in Baku.
He noted that microfinance organizations issue loans at 40% per annum, but due to the formation of liquid funds, these percentages can be reduced.
"Currently, the banking sector has a liquidity of 4 billion manat and therefore there is no need to raise funds from abroad. In the near future, the auction mechanism between banks will be involved and liquid funds will be distributed among the market participants, he said.
Z. Nuriyev noted that the banking sector had a task of raising funds before, but now the priority is to transfer these funds to the economy at favorable conditions. -71D-
