KNOW YOUR CORPORATION | Explainer No. 4: Which loans does ECAMC acquire?
October is Financial Information Month across the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union. The fourth explainer in the Corporation’s series sets out which loans come to ECAMC.
ECAMC acquires loans only from Approved Financial Institutions. These are licensed institutions approved by the Monetary Council of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank. A loan is acquired only with the consent of the institution selling it.
Not every loan comes to the Corporation. A loan must meet three tests. It must be a commercial loan. The amount still owed on it, the outstanding principal, must be EC$300,000 or more. And it must be adequately secured by collateral, such as land or a building, that can be transferred. These criteria are set by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.
The Corporation acquires loans in collaboration with the Approved Financial Institution and an independent expert appraiser.
After an acquisition, the borrower is notified and the collaborative process with the Corporation begins. Settlement and restructuring are the first options considered.
More in this series in the weeks ahead.
