Non-Performing Loans: Regulatory and Accounting Treatments of Assets

Abstract: Asset quality is an essential part of sound banking. However, asset quality is difficult for banking regulators and investors to assess in the absence of a common, cross-border scheme to classify assets. Currently no standard is applied universally to classify loans, the most sizable asset on many banks' balance sheets. As a corollary, no common definition of non-performing loans (NPLs) exists. This paper documents divergences in the definition of NPLs across countries, accounting regimes, firms and data sourc… Show more

“…This inefficiency was mainly caused by high non-performing loans because of adverse borrower 2 It may be argued that, instead of the non-performing loans (NPLs), the loan loss provisions are an alternative representation of the undesirable output in the model. Note, however, that the loan loss provisions are also calculated on the basis of non-performing loans (Bholat et al 2016). The previous studies employed non-performing loans as an undesirable output in measuring efficiency through directional distance functions.…”

“…As a result, there is no universal definition of non-performing loans (NPLs). (Bholat, Lastra, Markose, Miglionico, & Sen, 2016) According to the Basel Committee (2016), non-performing exposures include all situations in which the debtor is 90 days overdue or is unlikely to pay its debts.…”

“…Although the PRA has not explicitly provided guidance on non-performing loans, the EBA (2020b) has encouraged banks to make use of existing flexibility in its guidelines on the management of non-performing and forborne exposures and to engage in a close collaboration with their supervisors on these matters. There is no universal definition of a non-performing loans (Bholat et al 2016), although the ECB's approach is to treat loans past due for 90 days as non-performing (ECB 2017). This is suggested to be capable of flexibility.…”
