Abstract: This paper investigates the correlation between banking sector non-performing loans and the level of sustainable development. The findings reveal a significant positive correlation between banking sector non-performing loans and the level of sustainable development measured by the sustainable development index. The significant positive correlation is evident in European countries and in countries in the region of the Americas. There is a significant negative correlation between banking sector non-performing loans and achieving SDG3 and SDG7 in African countries and European countries. There is also a significant negative correlation between non-performing loans and achieving SDG10 in European countries. There is a significant positive correlation between banking sector non-performing loans and achieving SDG4 and SDG7 in the region of the Americas. There is also a significant positive correlation between non-performing loans and achieving SDG10 in African countries and in countries in the region of the Americas.
