The president of the Mortgage Bank (BHU), Casilda Echevarriawarned this Wednesday at a press conference that the institution did not could lend funds for new mortgage loans for two years If any of the bills that seek to address the situation of the debtors in readjustable units (UR) was approved by Parliament.
The official disagreed with the three initiatives that are receiving parliamentary treatment and argued that, due to their characteristics, it would be impossible to unify them.
He recalled that one of the texts proposes the freezing of debts in UR in pesos. “Do any of you ask when you take out a credit or when you are late with the card that the debt be left without adjustment?” She asked.
“If any of those projects were successful, the Hipotecary Banc, for two years, I couldn’t lend money,” warned Echevarría.
“First, because all the people (because of the bank’s employees) would have to deal with each one of those loans to establish the conditions of each one. On the other hand, the entire system created by the Office of Planning and Budget is so that there is no more personnel income, with which I agree”, he expressed.
Finally, he stated that if the debts were forgiven “all that mass (of silver) could not be lent to all the new people who touch them credit now.
Debtors in UR of the BHU are around 7,000 as reported by Echeverría in interview with The Observer in March.
The BHU discarded the initiatives proposed by the National Party, the Colorado Party and Cabildo Abierto for address the claims of debtors of the financial institution in UR.
