Abstract

This study analyzes the dynamics of non-performing loans (NPLs) in state-owned and non-state-owned banks in the banking sector of Uzbekistan using annual and quarterly data for the period 2020-2025. We studied the relationship between total loans issued by commercial banks and NPLs separately, based on the banks' ownership structure. The results indicated that state-owned banks have lower risk management efficiency and are more prone to risk.
