ADB-ECB Workshop on NPL Resolution in Asia and Europe

10 February 2020 to 11 February 2020
Manila
Philippines

Previous financial crises have demonstrated the long-lasting negative impact nonperforming loans (NPLs) can have on financial stability and the economy. While the 1997/98 Asian financial crisis was a watershed moment for many Asian economies’ financial systems, the economic impacts of elevated NPL levels persisted well beyond the crisis period. The euro area’s more recent experience also illustrates the systemic and negative impact large NPLs can have on all economies in a region. Against this background, this workshop examined the macro-financial implications of NPLs, highlighted country case studies, and discussed policy lessons for the development of NPL resolution strategies in Asia and Europe.
