To contain the negative economic impact of COVID-19, financial institutions have swiftly reviewed their lending protocols, adjusted their risk assessment and debt collection strategies to minimize costs and avoid losses. Credit scoring models have been reviewed and adjusted. The regulators have imposed and, in some cases, subsequently extended mandatory and/or voluntary moratoria on debt collections.
On Thursday, July 9, 2020, at 8 a.m. EDT, a panel discussion with a featured speaker, who is a Global Head of Collections at the Standard Chartered, which operates in 60 countries around the world; and two discussants – a Specialist in Banking Strategy and Risk Assessment from IFC and a Co-founder and Co-CEO of Lidya, a fintech platform working to ease access to finance for SMEs across frontier and emerging markets; will analyze in depth how the unfolding COVID-19 pandemic influenced risk assessment and debt collection since over the past four months.
