Download or read book Holistic Active Management of Non Performing Loans written by Claudio Scardovi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-05 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the most critical issues relating to the recovery of bad loans – a major problem that European banks urgently need to address and resolve. The book describes, in an innovative but also pragmatic way, the new approaches, techniques, and models for optimal management of non-performing loans (NPLs) and the maximization of their recovery value. Drawing on a rigorous academic background and the latest real-life experiences of major European banks, it details a novel means of dealing with NPLs based on velocity, the holistic use of tools and “accelerators”, and the active management of collaterals. Also, there is a specific focus on the smart use of “big data” and on the development of “bad banks”, at both the single bank and the system-wide level. Ultimately, credit workout is defined as a core capability for any competitive bank – and as a quite interesting business opportunity for independent, specialized “alpha” players.

Book excerpt: Sub-Saharan African countries are facing an unprecedented health and economic crisis that is likely to severely hurt credit quality and raise non-performing loans from already high levels. Banks have a critical role to play not only during the crisis by providing temporarily relief to businesses and households, but also during the recovery by supporting economic activity and facilitating the structural transformations engaged by the pandemic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Recently business magazines and newspapers have reported regularely about settled NPL deals. NPL is the abbreviation for a non-performing loan and simply describes a situation in which the debtor stopped complying to the terms agreed upon with the lender. Depending on the specific credit terms, the borrower has to pay interest and to repay the principle at a certain time. If this does not happen at a specific time the lender will demand the debtor to stick to the agreed terms and finally, in the event that the debtor does not change his or her behaviour, terminate the underlying contract. At what specific point in this process the loan should be qualified as a non-performing loan is not standardized. The range of past due periods varies from 30 days, over 90 days, to even 180 days. Neither accounting rules nor supervisory law specify yet under which conditions a financial institution has to classify certain loans as non-performing loans. However, this will change with the enforcement of Basel II, and also thanks to international distressed debt investors which demand for global standards. From time to time financial institutions amass huge stocks of these loans which finally leads to a wave of NPL sales. The market for NPL s evolves and is active for three to five years. After resolving the stock of NPL s it breaks down and stays relatively inactive for a longer time before it might develop again. Beside this time-related feature, a geographic pattern can be detected. The market does not evolve at the same time all around the world, but moves from one country or economic zone to the other. Right now, Germany is the most active market in Europe. The question is why. The sale of NPL s belongs neither for mortgage banks nor for commercial banks to their ordinary business. On the contrary, these banks are selling part of their core business the credit business. Of course defaulting debtors are not the most attractive ones for banks, and therefore who would to question the bank that wants to get rid of them. On the other hand banks dispose of traditional instruments to deal with these customers. The work-out department is usually in charge of collecting receivables and also the transfer of the respective receivables to debt-collecting agencies is a long exercised practice among banks. Are these traditional means no longer able to deal with the indubitable tremendous stock on NPL s in German banks and will the outsourcing [...]

Download or read book Non Performing Loans and Resolving Private Sector Insolvency written by Platon Monokroussos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-26 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the issue of private sector over-indebtedness following the recent financial crisis. It addresses the various challenges for policymakers, investors and economic agents affected by applied remedial policies as the private non-financial sector in Europe continues to face increased challenges in servicing its debt, with the problem mainly concentrated in several countries in the EU periphery and Eastern Europe. Chapters from expert contributors address reduced investment as firms concentrate on deleveraging and repairing their balance sheets, curtailed consumer spending, depressed collateral values and weak credit creation. They examine effective policies to facilitate private sector debt restructuring which may involve significant upfront costs in terms of time to implement and committed budgetary resources, as well as necessary reforms required to improve the broader institutional framework and judicial capacity. The book also explores the issue of over indebtedness in the household sector, contributing to the literature in establishing best practice principles for household debt.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fundamental question posed by this book is why banks fail to maximize distressed loan collections where the distressed debt investor succeeds. The answer to this question is found in examination of the "Bank Arb.

Download or read book Management and Resolution Methods of Non performing Loans written by Dimitrios Anastasiou and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the financial crisis of 2007, many banks with high level of NPLs found their sources of capital dried up, which occurred because of bad management. Huge amounts of NPLs imply both a lack of management methods and lack of capital. Also, high NPL levels have resulted to negative effects to banks' lending activity, making bank officers-managers more concern for the future of the whole banking system. The purpose of this study is twofold. First, to present some NPL management methods that already exist in the literature and second, to make a clear distinction between the ex-post and ex-ante management of NPLs. I tried to collect in one paper what other researchers suggested for the proper management and fight against NPLs for different kinds of banking systems around the world. Hopefully, by examining these methods, banks will be able to cope with the problem of NPLs.

Download or read book Digital Transformation in Financial Services written by Claudio Scardovi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the set of forces driving the global financial system toward a period of radical transformation and explores the transformational challenges that lie ahead for global and regional or local banks and other financial intermediaries. It is explained how these challenges derive from the newly emerging post-crisis structure of the market and from shadow and digital players across all banking operations. Detailed attention is focused on the impacts of digitalization on the main functions of the financial system, and particularly the banking sector. The author elaborates how an alternative model of banking will enable banks to predict, understand, navigate, and change the external ecosystem in which they compete. The five critical components of this model are data and information mastering; effective use of applied analytics; interconnectivity and “junction playing”; development of new business solutions; and trust and credibility assurance. The analysis is supported by a number of informative case studies. The book will be of interest especially to top and middle managers and employees of banks and financial institutions but also to FinTech players and their advisers and others.

Download or read book Approaching Non performing Loans from a Macroprudential Angle written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence and accumulation of non-performing loans (NPLs) on banks' balance sheets is commonly considered a microprudential issue. NPLs come to the attention of macroprudential authorities when they weaken a significant part of the financial system, threatening its stability or impairing one or more of its core functions, such as the provision of credit to the real economy. On a conceptual level, various imperfections may call for policy actions on the management of NPLs. These include unaddressed externalities, economies of scale and coordination failures, institutional distortions (stemming from the accounting, regulatory and tax treatment of NPLs or the judicial and market structures needed for their efficient resolution) and moral hazard vis-à-vis the providers of the banks' safety net. Externalities arise when banks neglect part of the social benefits or costs of actions affecting the origination and management of NPLs when individually deciding on such actions. For example, individual banks and society as a whole may differ in their assessment of the benefits and costs of generating more credit in a boom, with the potential implication of having to cope with a larger NPL problem in a bust (potentially damaging credit supply during the bust and the subsequent recovery). Externalities may be due to the way an unresolved stock of NPLs impairs investors' perceptions of the health of the financial system or prolongs a debt overhang problem, making bank funding more expensive and discouraging banks from taking up new lending opportunities. Other externalities may operate through the impact of the sale of foreclosed assets on prices of similar assets or through a generalisation of forbearance and evergreening strategies damaging banks' reputation as debt collectors and producing a deterioration in borrowers' payment culture. Coordination and collective action problems emerge in the presence of technological or strategic complementarities between agents' decisions. They are conceptually related to externalities and increasing returns to scale. In the absence of a coordinating institution, agents acting in a decentralised manner in their own best interests may become blocked into an inefficient allocation. For example, if creating a secondary market for NPLs requires setup costs that can only be recovered if the volume of trade in such a market is sufficiently large, the economy may be trapped in a situation in which such a market never gets started because it is always too small for the individual agents deciding at the margin whether to establish it. A similar argument has been applied to justify policies promoting the creation of (public and private) asset management companies (AMCs) specialised in buying and managing NPLs.

Download or read book Problem Loans in the Caribbean Determinants Impact and Strategies for Resolution written by Ms.Kimberly Beaton and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The high level of nonperforming loans (NPLs) in the Caribbean has been, in large part, a legacy of the global financial crisis, but their persistence owes much to the weak economic recovery in the region, as well as to structural obstacles to their resolution. A comprehensive strategy is needed to address these impediments to sever the adverse feedback loops between weak economic activity and weak asset quality. This paper finds that NPLs are a drag on Caribbean growth and macro-financial links are strong: a deterioration in asset quality hinders bank lending and dampens economic activity, undermining, in turn, efforts to resolve problem loans. A multifaceted approach is needed, involving a combination of macro- economic policies to support growth and employment; strong supervisory frameworks to ensure macro-financial stability and create incentives for resolution; efforts to address informational gaps and deficiencies in insolvency and debt-enforcement frameworks; and development of markets for distressed loans. The institutional capacity constraints require coordination of reforms within the region and support from international organizations through capacity-building.

This book was released on 2015-02-06 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing the buildup of nonperforming loans (NPLs) in Italy since the global financial crisis will remain a challenge for some time and be important for supporting a sustained, robust economic recovery. The buildup reflects both the prolonged recession as well as structural factors that have held back NPL write-offs by banks. The paper discusses the impediments to NPL resolution in Italy and a strategy for fostering a market for restructuring distressed assets that could support corporate and financial restructuring.

Download or read book Banking Lending and Real Estate written by Claudio Scardovi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals directly with the risk/return multiple trade-offs coming out of the closely intertwined relationship between banking and real estate. The authors explore how banks could embrace a more proactive approach to make the most of their, mostly ‘long only’, exposure to real estate, and create positive spillover effects on their real estate counterparts and the sector as a whole. It provides a "state of the art" representation and analysis of the strategies that best practices in banking are adopting to manage these issues and plan for a new set of interrelations, driving a "virtuous circle" as opposed to the current one. Banking, Lending and Real Estate is built on the academic knowhow and professional expertise of the authors, who have been researching, writing and working on this joint topic for over a decade. With its pragmatic approach, it allows the reader to capture which leading hedge active and holistic approaches are available today and proven to treat, for example, the banks’ overexposure to this asset class; to manage "unlikely to pay" and sub-performing positions; and to optimize the recovery value coming from the work out of real estate related NPL (and underlying assets). Case studies and relevant examples are provided, leveraging on the authors’ experience in consulting projects in the EMEA region and from working with global, regional and domestic banks and the real estate players acting across its value chain. This book will appeal to both academics and business practitioners within the banking, financial services and real estate sectors, as well as professionals from financial and strategic/industrial advisory working in those fields.

Download or read book Principles of Household Debt Restructuring written by Thomas Laryea and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2009-06-26 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the estimated compliance with the macroeconomic convergence targets for 2008, based on estimates contained in the IMF’s Regional Economic Outlook: Sub-Saharan Africa (the REO). SADC’s regional economic integration agenda includes a macroeconomic convergence program, intended to achieve and maintain macroeconomic stability in the region, thereby contributing to faster economic growth and laying the basis for eventual monetary union. Targets for key macroeconomic variables have been set out for 2008, 2012, and 2018. Most SADC member states have recorded solid macroeconomic performance in recent years, in general coming close to, and in many cases surpassing, the convergence targets specified for 2008. A notable exception in this regard is Zimbabwe, which was in the grip of hyperinflation. The macroeconomic targets for 2012 are ambitious and, in some cases, warrant further evaluation, given that achieving the targets may be neither necessary nor sufficient to achieve good macroeconomic results.
