Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the impact of the macroeconomic variables such as the Gross Domestic Product, the exchange rate and the interest rate over the quality of the loan portofolio. Therefore, the methodology of our research consists of applying the VAR model under the Eviews Statistical Software using the annual data collected from the European Central Bank Statistical Warehouse and from the National Bank of Romania for the period 2000 – 2009. Consequently, we reached to the conclusion that the good quality of a loan portofolio is due to a depreciation of the exchange rate. Instead, a high level of the interest rate raises the probability of the default risk.
