Bank Regulators Believe that Commercial Loan Modification Agreements Can Benefit Both Lenders and Borrowers

Bank regulators in the United States have declared that judicious commercial loan modification contracts could benefit both lenders and borrowers. The regulators stressed that just because the property owners are experiencing financial difficulties does not mean that they are no longer willing to repay the loan, nor have they lost the capability to repay it. However, the regulators warned the banks that it does not mean that they will not ensure that proper rules are followed in evaluating the risks involved. The lenders will have to comply with the usual lending standards that include the reporting requirements, loan collection procedures and management information systems.
