Early this year, we published a newsletter on the interest rate that applies pursuant to the Law of 2 August 2002 on combating late payment in commercial transactions (the so-called ‘Late Payment in Commercial Transactions Act’). This interest rate rose from 8% to 10.5%, effective from 1st January 2023.[1]
For the second semester of 2023, the interest rate rose further to 12%.[2]
