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

“…The result may be partly due to the fact that we use impaired loans (instead of non-performing loans) in our regression.

“…As pointed out by Goodhart and Schoenmaker (1995), in fact, the effectiveness of governance arrangements may depend on the particular banking structure of a country. Moreover, country fixed effects allow me to account for the potential cross-country differences in accounting standards used to identify loans as non-performing highlighted by Bholat et al (2016) and Baudino et al (2018).
