We are also building a Credit Risk Database (CRD), which uses a variety of data to build statistical scoring models to sharpen credit assessment of banks and promote risk-based SME lending. The BSP continues to support the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) in capacity development for credit surety fund cooperatives providing credit enhancement for bank loans of cooperatives and their member-MSMEs.
Currently Lietuvos Bankas is working on a comprehensive National Payments Transformation Strategy and nonbanks, I expect, will be one of the key players there. The main objective of this conference from our side is to hear the views of a wider audience and to learn what the near future is about to bring.
