Minimization of bank lending risks should be carried out by banks themselves through the use of active methods of influencing the probability of non-repayment of loans and interest on them in the direction of reducing and improving internal credit risk management. It should be noted that “overdue bank loans” as defined by the NBU do not include restructured and extended loans, so the actual level of problem debt.

The decrease in 2020 was mainly due to the clearing of loan portfolios from bad debts due to its write-off. This was due to the adoption by the NBU of a resolution on banks to reimburse bad debts from reserves, which in turn helped to reduce the level of overdue debts by strengthening the requirements for borrowers and banks’ attention to risk assessment.
