Moratorium won’t hurt banks’ earnings badly


The difference between this latest moratorium and the first one from March to September 2020 is that the new moratorium is on an opt-in basis whereby interested borrowers would have to apply for it – though the approval process is expected to be much simplified – and borrowers may have to sign revised terms to the loan agreement.
