Third: Amendment to the Financial Facility File Structure (TXT.File)

Due to the increased number of private sector companies benefiting from the credit systems at the Palestine Monetary Authority, efforts have been made to expand the fields for bank numbers, lending institution numbers, and private sector company numbers. Accordingly, the financial facility file has been amended as follows:

• Item 7 in the facility file structure, "Institution Number", has been modified to consist of only two digits. For example, previously the institution number was declared as "0100", whereas currently only "01" should be declared.
• Item 8 in the facility file structure, "Branch Number", has been modified to consist of only two digits. For example, previously the branch number was declared as "0112", whereas currently only "12" should be declared.
