Training on Non-Performing Loans Management
As global economic uncertainties and market disruptions persist, managing Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) has become a critical challenge for financial institutions. NPLs not only tie up capital but also impact profitability, reputation, and long-term financial stability. Effective NPL management can improve asset quality, enhance liquidity, and boost investor confidence.
Given the growing complexity of credit risk, there is a pressing need for banks to adopt more sophisticated strategies to manage NPLs. According to industry experts, the future of banking will demand a shift toward more proactive and data-driven approaches to loan management, helping institutions anticipate risk and mitigate losses more efficiently.
This training focuses on equipping banking professionals with the tools and knowledge to effectively manage NPL portfolios. Participants will learn best practices for identifying, restructuring, and resolving NPLs, with special attention to the evolving regulatory landscape. The training will also explore innovative techniques for managing credit risk, improving recovery rates, and strengthening the overall balance sheet of the institution.
