The Central Bank explained that the postponement of the non-transferability of savings certificates issued to Baninter clients does not imply delays in the payment of these commitments. The Central Bank deferred the transferability of the RD$20 billion savings certificates until March 2004, but clarified that “the titles will be honored once they are due, according to preset procedures and following agreements signed with Scotiabank, so as to extend the services to the clients of Baninter.”
