    Otbasy Bank Chief Urges Timely Loan Repayments to Maintain Credit Score

    Chairman of Otbasy Bank Lazzat Ibragimova has appealed to Kazakhs to repay their loans and credits on time, including small ones, to maintain their credit score. She explained that every day of default can negatively impact the borrower's scoring rating and affect the bank's decision on future loan applications. The bank's scoring system automatically evaluates the client's previous loan history and payment discipline, and a low credit score may result in rejected loan applications. However, bank employees cannot manually change the scoring system's decision.

    Bank of Japan Considers Accelerating Rate Hikes

    Multiple Bank of Japan (BOJ) board members have expressed the need to speed up interest rate hikes at the July meeting, with some suggesting the pace could be faster than market expectations. The BOJ is considering additional rate hikes, potentially as early as the September meeting, due to rising inflation risks from factors such as artificial intelligence demand, a weakening yen, and higher crude oil prices. Some members warned that waiting could lead to a 'double shock' to the economy.
