Instructions No. 51 of 2019 Regarding the Rescheduling of Loans and Financing Granted to Public Sector Employees in the Southern Governorates

The Palestine Monetary Authority issued Instructions No. 51 of 2019 to amend the rescheduling framework for loans and financing extended to public sector employees in the southern governorates. The directive explicitly waives the mandatory down payment requirement during the second rescheduling cycle, provided both parties consent, while preserving all other conditions established under the 2018 regulations. These amendments take effect immediately upon issuance and remain valid until formally repealed or modified by the Authority.
