Introduction to collecting debt in Bhutan

Do you have trouble getting people to pay you back in Bhutan? Do not worry; we will help you get paid by your Bhutanese customers. When collecting debt in Bhutan, the person who owes the debt is called “the debtor”, and the person who has issued the debt or invoice is called “the creditor”. If the original creditor collects the debt himself, this is called “first-party collection”. If the creditor outsources the collection process to a third party, this is called “third-party collections”.

The debt collection process in Bhutan

In Bhutan, people usually have to go through several steps to collect debt.

The image below shows the steps we take to collect debt in Bhutan:

1 Upload your claim:

Unless you want to pay the debt back yourself, you will need to find someone to help you. You can start by finding a debt collection partner and uploading your claim to their website. If you use Debitura, we will provide you with 3 quotes from local partners in the Asia country where the debt is owed. This is free - there is nothing else you need to do or pay for.

2 Amicable collection:

The collection process typically begins with sending reminders to your debtor via email, SMS, letter and other communication channels in the specific country. The goal is to get the debtor to pay or acknowledge the debt and start a payment plan. Debitura offers a no-cure-no-pay solution for amicable collection, where you only pay a small success fee if we recover your debt. Therefore, amicable collections with Debitura are 100% risk-free!

3 Evaluation:

If you still have not received payment from the debtor after trying to work things out, it is time to look at what to do next. We will look at how much money you are owed, the chance of getting paid and other factors. This will help us decide what the best next step is. There are three common next steps:

A: Surveillance:

If you are owed less than 2,000-5,000 Euros, it is often not worth it to take legal action. In this case, we recommend "debt surveillance." This means we will keep trying to contact the person who owes you money and try to reach an agreement.

B: Legal collections:

It's a good idea to start a legal process if you have a big claim. The steps you need to take will depend on the details of your claim. Usually, it takes about a year and a half for the whole process to be finished.

C: Debt enforcement:

If the person you think owes you money has said that they owe you money, or if there is a court order, you can go to the bailiff's court to get your money.

At Debitura, we can help you with all three steps in Bhutan.

The economic risk in Bhutan

Our analysis shows that the economic risk in Bhutan is high (5 out of 6). An economic risk of 5 out of 6 is relatively high in Asia.

GDP and economic growth are critical drivers for economic risk.
The GDP of Bhutan is bn. USD (2021), growing by % per year.

In terms of the size of its economy, Bhutan ranks #178 out of 183 countries and has a small economy.

You can see a more throughout picture of GDP and economic growth in Bhutan in the table below:

Another critical driver for the economic risk score is the inflation rate and the interest rates. You can see a more throughout picture of monetary KPIs in Bhutan in the table below:

Monetary KPI'sLatest value
Inflation: percent change in the Consumer Price Index7,3%
Business credit interest rate, percent14%

The inflation in Bhutan was 7,3% in 2021 which is considered a high inflation rate.

The interest rate for businesses is 14%.

The business environment risk in Bhutan

Our analysis shows that the business environment risk in Bhutan is medium (3 out of 6), which is a relatively low risk score in Asia.

Economic freedom and rights determine the business environment risk in a country. Take a look at the important facts for Bhutan in the table below:

Economic freedom indexLatest value
Property rights index (0-100)63
Freedom from corruption index (0-100)55
Fiscal freedom index (0-100)82
Business freedom index (0-100)67
Monetary freedom index (0-100)74,3
Trade freedom index (0-100)41
Investment freedom index (0-100)20
Financial freedom index (0-100)30
Economic freedom, overall index (0-100)58

In the above table, you can see, the property rights index is 63 in Bhutan, which is considered quite low in Asia.

The business freedom index is based on 10 indicators, using data from the World Bank’s Doing Business study. The Index is 67 in Bhutan, a pretty average score for a country in Asia.

Bhutan's overall economic freedom index is 58 out of 100 and is based on factors such as the rule of law, regulatory efficiency, and market openness.

The political risk in Bhutan

The political risk in Bhutan is medium, with a score of 3/6. This is a relatively low political risk score in Asia.

The governance and political stability indicators are critical drivers for political risk. An overview of Bhutan can be seen in the table below:

Governance and political stability indicators Latest value
Rule of law index (-2.5 weak; 2.5 strong)0,64
Government effectiveness index (-2.5 weak; 2.5 strong)0,8
Control of corruption (-2.5 weak; 2.5 strong)1,55
Political stability index (-2.5 weak; 2.5 strong)0,97
Corruption Perceptions Index, 100 = no corruption68
Shadow economy, percent of GDP20,28%

The rule of law index analyses to which extent agents have confidence in and abide by the rules of society, in particular the quality of contract enforcement, property rights, the quality of the courts, and the police's ability to enforce court orders.

When transacting business in a country, the rule of law index is critical as it describes your ability to enforce commercial contracts.

In Bhutan, the rule of law index is at 0,64 points, with the score going from -2.5 (weak) to 2.5 (strong). Bhutan has, therefore, a high rule of law index, which means you should have a good chance of enforcing your contracts. If your individual customers have good creditworthiness, you should therefore feel relatively safe when providing credit.

Other drivers for the medium political risks are the strong control of corruption, the average political stability index, and the medium-large shadow economy that is 20,28% of Bhutan's GDP.

The commercial risk in Bhutan

In Bhutan, the commercial risk score is 2/4, which in our model is a low score. This low commercial risk score is pretty average compared to the average in Asia.

The financing risk in Bhutan

We have calculated the financing risk to be 4/4, which equals a high risk. A high financing risk score is high for countries in Asia.

The country's banking system, efficiency, and stability influence the financing risk. Additional facts and info can be found for Bhutan in the table below:

Banking system efficiency and stabilityLatest value
Interest rates on bank credit to the private sector14%
Real interest rate: Bank lending rate minus inflation11,19%
Index of legal rights for creditors and borrowers (0 = weak to 12 = strong)4
Credit information sharing index, 0 (low) - 8 (high)7

In Bhutan, the credit information sharing index is 7 on a scale from 0 (low) to 8 (high). The result of this, is that the access and trustworthiness of the credit information in Bhutan is medium-high.

This makes it easy for you to understand the credit risk of your counterpart in Bhutan. You would be able to find a good local credit rating agency that can help you analyse the creditworthiness of your specific customers.

Your rights as a creditor are 4 out of 12 and, therefore, very weak.

The high financing risk for creditors also impacts the high interest rate in the private sector of 14%.
