THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF FACTORS INFLUENCING THE EMERGENCE OF NON-PERFORMING LOANS IN COMMERCIAL BANKS

Abstract

This article highlights the factors contributing to the emergence of non-performing loans in commercial banks and their impact on the quality of bank assets. The study systematically analyzes the micro and macro factors leading to the formation of non-performing loans. In addition, strategies aimed at the effective management of non-performing loans and the mitigation of their negative consequences are examined. The article emphasizes that the increase in non-performing loans directly undermines the financial stability and profitability of banks. Therefore, the role of specialized departments, the assessment of borrowers’ financial condition, and restructuring mechanisms are of crucial importance in managing such loans.
