"In particular Assifact - underlines the president Rony Hamaui - has collaborated intensely with the Ministry of Economy and Finance for the development of the Platform which allows the creditors of the Public Administration to request the certification of the credits relating to the sums due and to trace the any subsequent advance, offsetting, assignment and payment operations based on certified credits".
