More about Azerbaijan

As you may remember, in November, we told you that we were the finalists, along with CRIF, for a tender to become the operator of the First Credit Bureau in Azerbaijan.

Before selecting the winner, the Executive Committee wanted to clarify a few issues relating to the hardware of each organisation. In December, Tomáš Tichý,Radek Bittner, Paul Randall and Reynir gave a presentation in Baku.  According to Paul his presentation was fantastic and Reynir’s was OK! (how cheeky!).

Anyway, the Committee now want to visit both organisations, so at the end of January they will be going to IBCH in Kiev and to CRIF HQ in Bologna.   Afterwhich they will advise who will receive the tender. Watch this space….

On a side note, we bumped into William Haigh as we were leaving the IFC office.
