The Ministry of Economy and Finance offers an upgraded solution to debt settlement through the updated platform of the Extra-Judicial Mechanism
. This platform incorporates the latest legislative changes and enables debtors to settle their debts in a more simplified and automated way, avoiding complicated and time-consuming court procedures. Key changes incorporated into the platform include the application of an additional “haircut” of up to 28% for loans secured by collateral, thus improving debt restructuring prospects for debtors. This is done through automated proposals generated by the platform’s algorithm and voted on by creditors, ensuring a faster and fairer process. Another important objective of the upgrades is to protect vulnerable debtors, with the new arrangements seeking to improve the functioning of the Mechanism for the benefit of all debtors.

The upgradedOut-of-Court Mechanism represents a significant improvement in debt management and settlement, offering a holistic and sustainable solution to achieve financial stability and recovery for individuals and legal entities.
