Task Force
NPL Directive
The primary objective of this task force is to thoroughly evaluate the NPL Directive and related legislation and subsequently develop an actionable roadmap for its implementation by the end of the year.
As part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen the resilience of the banking sector and promote financial stability, the European Parliament and the Council have adopted Directive (EU) 2021/2167 on credit servicers and credit purchasers which is to be implemented into national law by 29 December 2023 (the NPL Directive).
The implementation of this Directive in Luxembourg requires careful consideration, analysis and reasoned action. The NPL Directive Task Force is a dedicated team responsible for ensuring the effective implementation of the NPL Directive in Luxembourg.
This group, composed of experts from various financial institutions and regulatory bodies, works to develop and implement strategies to align Luxembourg’s regulations and procedures with the requirements of the NPL Directive and to create a post-implementation market practice.
