Central Bank releases new list of companies with frozen accounts

, News

The Central Bank of Montenegro (CBCG) has released an updated list of companies with frozen accounts, which includes one more company compared to the previous list.

The new list, which CBCG publishes monthly in accordance with the Payment Transactions Law, features approximately 20,630 companies with blocked accounts, as recorded in both the Central Register of Business Entities (CRPS) and CBCG. Out of these, 3,460 companies are listed solely in CBCG records and not in CRPS. CBCG is required by law to disclose information about the enforcement process, including company or entrepreneur names, registration numbers, account freeze amounts, and the duration of the account freezes.

CBCG has explained that registration numbers for entrepreneurs are not published because they are recorded under a unique personal identification number (JMB) in the Central Bank’s Transaction Account Register, which is not in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Law.

The data is made available on CBCG’s website on the first working day of the month following the end of the month, with a status snapshot as of the last day of the month, listed alphabetically by company and entrepreneur names.

Since CBCG began publishing this data in July 2012, the list included only companies or entrepreneurs with account freezes exceeding ten thousand EUR and lasting more than 30 consecutive days.

Company names are published on the CBCG website, www.cbcg.me, in alphabetical order to ensure impartiality.
