WHO approves vaccination of children

The debts of young Russians began to fall more often to collectors

In 2021, banks and microfinance organizations (MFOs) began to actively sell bad debts of borrowers under 25 years old, according to the data of the National Association of Professional Collection Agencies (NAAPCA). Collectors began to work more often even with the youngest recipients of microloans at the age of 18-20 years.

In the first quarter of this year, the share of such non-payers in the total number of cases offered by MFIs to collectors under cession transactions (assignment of rights to collect) reached 20%. For comparison: in the first quarter of 2020, before the pandemic, the share of young debtors was almost half as much - 9.7%.
