REPORTING TEMPLATES FOR THE CREDIT MARKET MONITORING PROGRAMME
As you may be aware, the Bank of Zambia (BoZ) launched the Credit Market Monitoring Programme (CMMP) on 23rd September 2015. The purpose of the CMMP is to supply a repository of qualitative and quantitative data that would enable the BoZ to effectively measure access to credit, monitor important sector trends, identify problems and assess the impact of regulatory interventions.
The CMMP is structured around various regulatory data returns which will be periodically submitted by both banks and NBFIs. Accordingly, please find attached the reporting templates which will be used under the programme. Kindly familiarise yourselves with the templates in readiness for the submission of the first set of returns which will be due on 29th April 2016.
