In the system of credit portfolio management activities important role played developing and conducting credit policies. Strategy and tactics of the credit policy is developed at the central office (the parent bank) by the credit department (management) in cooperation with the Credit Committee. The Credit Committee is created in each bank and is usually chaired by the Deputy Chairman of the Management Board in charge of the bank's credit activity.
