Gli alti livelli di NPL indeboliscono la capacità delle banche di erogare credito?

Abstract: It has recently been argued that high non-performing loan stocks can limit banks’ lending ability, and thus impair the effectiveness of monetary policy. The present article questions this claim and argues for a more nuanced view. It points to the lack of serious theoretical analysis of the relationship between non-performing loan stocks and credit dynamics; the empirical evidence is also scarce. Policy should focus on maximising the ‘cure rate’ rather than eliminating non-performing loans entirely.
