The People’s Bank yesterday denied reports that the Non-Performing Loans of certain high profile companies and individuals have been written off.

“Relating to recent views expressed on People Bank’s non-performing loan write-offs, as shared in certain social media groups, the Bank’s Management hereby wishes to categorically deny such statements as being true.
