Yes, Credit Risk Management System (CRMS) was established by law to strengthen the credit appraisal procedures of banks, for monitoring banks exposure to borrowers and facilitating consistent classification of credits. The CRMS requires mandatory reporting by all licensed banks on a monthly basis of all credits, including principal and interest of N1million and above (previously N100, 000). The CRMS is a regulatory mechanism established for the purpose of monitoring policy compliance, rather than a business and credit information provider. The CRMS is limited to bank credits and excludes non bank exposure and payment behaviour, from non-banking institutions and the non- financial sector credit grantors Going forward, the CRMS system will submit data to CRC as a public credit registry and this data will reflect in the Credit Information Report pulled from CRC.
