The Central Bank of the Republic of Kosovo issued this regulation to standardize how licensed lending financial institutions calculate and charge interest on late payments for credit instruments. It establishes a biannually published reference rate plus an 8 percentage point fixed rate, mandating a mathematical formula based on the overdue principal, annual interest rate, and calendar days. The rule also defines a maximum 21-day tolerance period, requires clear contractual disclosure of late payment consequences, and applies to both new and existing credit instruments.
