Abstract: Banks in the European Union (EU) continue to operate in a vulnerable macroeconomic environment. Despite accommodative monetary policy, factors as modest economic growth, political risks and economic uncertainty continue to affect the quality of bank assets, bank profitability, and investor confidence in the banking system. Against this background, the rate of bad loans remains high at EU level, limiting the banking sector's ability to contribute to economic recovery. Although the quality of credit portfolios of EU banks continues to improve, progress is rather slow and the dispersion of nonperforming credit ratios between EU Member States remains significant.
