Outlook of the European non-performing loans market
Hear from our panel of experts discussing the latest trends when tackling NPLs in Europe.
Large NPL volumes have been a significant risk to the stability of the financial system in the aftermath of the world financial crisis and have led legislators all over the world to set up legal rules and guidelines to prevent NPL volumes from rising too quickly.
With the exception of some Member States, non-performing loans on bank balance sheets were generally under control. In the last years, NPL volumes were in fact in decline and financial regulators all over Europe have kept a watchful eye on any negative developments. In addition, countries with high NPL volumes like Italy or Greece have set up successful securitisation schemes to manage systemic risks.
State aid programmes and insolvency moratoria have prevented a meltdown during the COVID pandemic. However, zombie lending has increased significantly due to the excessive use of state-aid measures, asset prices are likely to be fundamentally inflated, and rising interest rates to tackle inflation may lead to a significant rise in loan-default rates.
