Jakarta. Flow, an AI-enabled ethical credit management company, seeks to empower Indonesian borrowers to better manage their debt with a new self-service portal, dubbedFlowCares.

Indonesia is home to one of the worlds most unbanked populations, especially in rural areas. Its financial literacy is also of great concern. A 2019 nationwide survey by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) revealed that Indonesias financial literacy index stood at 38.03 percent, whereas the financial inclusion index was 76.19 percent.

At the same time, people now have better access to financial services, thanks to digitalization, emerging buy-now-pay-later e-commerce players, and peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platforms, among others. According to CEIC data, hou…

MUMBAI: The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) has proposed major changes in the insolvency process to bring more discipline and transparency and to address issues that have come up in recent cases.
The IBBI, which regulates both insolvency professionals and the process, has sought public views on amendments by September 17.
A key development is the introduction of a code of conduct for the committee of creditors (CoC) proposed by a parliamentary standing committee headed by Jayant Sinha.
The 31-point code of conduct, among other things, requires creditors to disclose any conflict of interest, maintain full confidentiality and not try to adjust funds of the corporate debtor against their dues during the resolution process. Howe…

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstalls television production company has collapsed, leaving behind millions of pounds of debts.

The River Cottage chef co-founded the award-winning KEO Films in 1995, which has made popular programmes such as Hughs War on Waste and Easy Ways to Live Well.

Corporate insolvencies continue to rise year-on-year according to insolvency and restructuring trade body R3 in the South West.

Although the figures show a slight fall between June and July 2021, it was the third consecutive month in which year-on-year corporate insolvency levels have risen.

R3 said the month-on-month fall in corporate insolvencies was a result of a drop in compulsory liquidations, creditors voluntary liquidations (CVL), administrations and company voluntary arrangements (CVA). However, the year-on-year rise continues to reflect the effect the Covid pandemic has had on the business community.

The statistics for July 2021 from the Insolvenc…

Speaking at an event organised by industry body Assocham, IBBI Executive Director Santosh Kumar Shukla said it is a joint effort of all the stakeholders and not only insolvency professionals for the revival of compa…
