Determinants of NPLs (Non-Performing Loans): A case study of Pakistan 1

CHAPTER # 1
Introduction
Determinants of NPLs (Non-Performing Loans): A case study of Pakistan 2
1. Introduction
1.1. Background
NPLs (Non-Performing Loans), is name given to loans which are
overdue for more than 90 days or any other period in the agreement. Loans
which are part of the default list or near the default date and entering the non
performing state are categorised as NPLs. his situation occurs when
!orrower shows reluctance in paying the interest and the principle amount of
the loan
"
.
his situation is not desira!le for the !an#s and other loan issuing
firms. $an#s and other loan issuing firms consider such activities as there !ad
de!t e%penses and want them to !e as low as possi!le. Large num!er of NPLs
causes failure for !an#s. NPLs increase the e%penses of !an#s and their net
income suffers !ecause of them.
&n the end !an#s have to sell off when their income statements start
showing negative values. &n such scenario 'sset management companies too#
charge of those !an#s on discount. his situation is always undesira!le for the
!an# and no one would li#e to stic# with such situations.
here are numerous varia!les which have their negative or positive
impacts on NPLs. &ndependent (aria!les which are !eing e%amined over here

are interest rate, inflation and e%change rate from the macro economic
varia!les. Loans to total asset and growth in loan are independent varia!les
which are !an# specific. his paper deals with that how all these varia!les
effect on NPLs (Non-Performing Loans) of !an#s.
1.2. Problem Statement
,any studies have !een done in the past related to the relation
!etween NPLs and macroeconomic indicators. ,any researchers have
conducted the study on what is the impact of macroeconomic or !an#
specific factors on NPLs. Past studies indicate that the macroeconomic
indicators and !an# specific factors have significant impact on NPLs.
he impact of macroeconomic indicators and !an# specific factors on
NPLs has !een assessed separately in the Pa#istani scenario, where as
no research has so far !een conducted comprising !an# specific as well
as macroeconomic indicators together in the case of Pa#istan,
herefore- still there is a need to e%pand the study the impact of !oth
macroeconomic factors as well as !an# specific factors on NPLs in the
conte%t of Pa#istan.
1.3. Reearc! "b#ecti$e
he o!.ective for commencing this study is to figure out the
determinants of non-performing loans in the !an#ing sector of Pa#istan.
,oreover, the ma.or purpose of this research is to highlight the possi!le
effects of NPL in the economy. &n addition, this research will put light on the
Determinants of NPLs (Non-Performing Loans): A case study of Pakistan 4
fact that how NPL is playing its role in ma#ing companies and !an#s
defaulters. his research will also throw light on how !an#s and companies
can avoid such mishaps.

2.1. T!eoretical Background
,any theories have !een identified as real interest rate has ma.or
impact on the non performing loans. /hen real interest rate of !an# is too
much high, investors fail to pay off the loans. 1esearchers have empirically
and theoretically analy2ed that the NPL and real interest rate is having
negative association
*
.
&nflation is very important macroeconomic varia!le considering when
the policy ma#er wants to sta!ilise the economy, especially the central
authority li#e state !an# regulate the economy with the help of commercial
!an#s as all the lending and !orrowing ta#es place, continuous rise in price
will cause the inflationary trend in the environment which put the economy
towards down turn and soon the economy face depression.
&nflation has shown positive impact on the non performing loan. 's
inflation enhances the NPL also enhances. heory has shown that as inflation
increases, investor have to pay more money for the raw materials. hus their
production cost enhances. his enhances the chances of ris# of NPLs. Profits
shrin#s and chances of loss increases. his reason lays ground for enhancing
the NPL.

's growth in terms of loan increases, the chances of NPL )ecrease.
his is due to the fact that the ratio of NPL is very low as compared to
Performing loans. ,ore loans increases the ratio of performing loans and thus
decrease NPL.
2.2. Em(irical Studie
8r#ens et al. (*0"*) investigated the effect of corporate governance on
financial firms of 30 countries for the period of *006 to *009. 1egression
analysis was applied on the data. he adoption of this analytical techni:ue has
facilitated the researchers in foreseeing the results and reaching to the
conclusive remar#s, with assistance of this empirical analysis. &t was found
firms which have more independent !oards and high num!er of institutional
ownership are e%periencing poor stoc# returns during period of crisis. &t is
!ecause of the firms which have more institutional ownerships ta#e many ris#s
which result more losses in times of crisis. ;n the other hand firms which
have more independent !oards can earn more num!er of capitals as e:uity in
time of crisis. he researchers have suggested to replicate the same research

(aria!les which were part of the study were 1eal >)P per capita, inflation
and total loans. 'll of the varia!les which were part of the study were found to
have significant impact on NPLs. $eta values were although low in the results
found. &n the end it was suggested that !an#s should change their policies if
they want lower NPLs ratio which is of course desira!le for them. he

facilitated the researchers in foreseeing the results and reaching to the
conclusive remar#s, with assistance of this empirical analysis. Loans growth
rate, NPLs growth rate, investment, capital growth rate and deposit growth
rate were the varia!les of the study. he result showed that with high level of
NPL to loan ratio !an# !ecome unwilling to the ris# which made them ris#
averse when it@s a!out loan dis!ursal. /ell over all NPLs have negative effect
on creations of loans. he researchers have suggested to replicate the same

varia!les were part of the study which includes unemployment, lending rate,
>)P growth rate and various !an# specific varia!les were also considered in
the research. hey resulted that all there a!ove mentioned macroeconomic
varia!les have their strong effect on NPLs. &t is also seen that different

'. Concluion and Recommendation
'.1Concluion.
his research is a comparative study a!out the non-performing loans of
Pa#istan. his chapter will put light that what conclusions are o!tained from
the results derived in chapter no +. &n addition, this chapter will highlight the
matching of the results with the previous studies.
&n Pa#istan, real e%change rate has shown the positive relation with the
NPL. he same results have !een o!tained in the previous researches of
(1an.an 5 )hal, *003) and (?ohn, ,ehran 5 Eian, *009).
Positive relation of e%change rate with NPL is that when e%change rate
increases, the importer pays higher amount for the goods imported, which
results in inflation and ultimately impacts on the profita!ility of the importer
who !orrowed the money from financial institution, thus the importer !ecome
una!le to pay de!t.
he rate of inflation is showing positive association with the NPL. he
same results have found from the researches of (Chang, *00D) and ($ara#o 5
>atere, *009).
Positive association among the NPL and inflation rate sustains as found in our
results.
/hen price of goods increases, the !usinessmen who !orrowed the money
increase cost of goods, due to which the sale decreases, which results in low
profita!ility of the !usinessmen and thus chances of getting defaulter.
Determinants of NPLs (Non-Performing Loans): A case study of Pakistan 34

7imilarly, NPL and rate of interest is also having positive relationship.
his is !ecause when !an#s increase the rate of interest it creates hindrances
for the !orrower to pay de!t easily, thus the chances of getting defaulter are
very high.
his shows that positive association among interest rate and NPL.
1esearchers who have derived the same results are (8r#ens, Fung 5 ,atos,
*0"0), (/aweru 5 4alani, *009) and (,a 5 Aung, *00*).
he loan to the assets in Pa#istani !an#s is showing negative
association with the NPL. he same results have found from the researches of
(>reenidge 5 >rosvenor, *009) and ('ndreeva, *00+).
's per the results NPL and Loan to asset (L') have negative
relationship. /ith the p value of 0.0"D. his negative relationship shows that
!an#s with high L' ratio have low NPL. his result is a !it change from
previous studies.$an#s with high L' ratio have more li:uidity ris#. 7o they
provide loans to the applicants who are a!le to pay their loans installments on
time.$an#s also they also have recovery teams to collect more of their
loans.he NPL decreases as a result.
he growth in loan in Pa#istani !an#s is showing negative association
with the NPL. he same results have found from the researches of ()riga,
*00+) and (racey 5 Leon, *0"").
he relationship !etween NPL and grwoth in loans showsn negative
relationship along with p-value of 0.0"9. 's the policies of !an#s are their
Determinants of NPLs (Non-Performing Loans): A case study of Pakistan 35
procedures are so tough that the ratio of NPL is very low as compared to the
performing loans. 7o with the growth in loans the perfoming loans increases
and NPL decreases in the ratio. $an#s with higher NPL use this techni:ue as a
tool to decrease NPL. his also demonstrates the conservative lending
!ehavior of !an#s, as they will not give more loans to sectors where they have
!ad e%perience (4hemra. and pasha *006).
'.2 Recommendation.
/ith the derived conclusion, following recommendations are made in
this research. &f !an#s want to ensure the interruption free !an#ing, they
should have high controls over their NPL. hey must have esta!lished strict
policies to ma#e certain that companies and !usinesses who have !orrowed
money would not get default.
&nterest rate should !e offered with the great ease to the !orrower so
that it will !e easy to pay !ac# the principle amount and the interest on it. his
can reduce the !an#@s NPL.
&n addition, !an#s must re:uire to carefully analy2e the pro.ects !efore
lending the loans. hey must have get securities and chec# the documentations
!efore lending the money. &n this scenario, they will !e a!le to guarantee that
if !usiness who has !orrowed money gets default, they will sell the security
and fulfil their losses.
Central !an# must not issue e%tra money in the mar#et. 's money
e%cess money is directly related to inflation . 's a policy ma#er state !an#
should control the money supply that will help !an#s to decrease NPL
Determinants of NPLs (Non-Performing Loans): A case study of Pakistan 36
&f there is inflation in the economy, it is the duty of central !an#s to
implement effective and strict monetary policy to control the inflation. hey
must enhance the rate of interest so that people !elieve in ta#ing less loans and
less chances of NPL occurrence will result.
1is# free !an#ing is only possi!le when central !an#s of Pa#istan will
closely wor# with their !a!y !an#s and assure the implementation of the
already esta!lished policies.
'.3 ;uture Recommendation.
)ue to lac# of time duration we were una!le to wor# on
comparative study. ' comparative study is re:uired that covers
'sia region to find the trend in the su! continent.
,ore !an#s should !e included in the research to find the more
accurate trend.
he study does not include all of the varia!les due to its
limitations, further macro economic and !an# specific varia!les
should !e included in the research to identify their impacts and
their significance on NPL.
