11 1. Drivers of NBFI credit growth Estimated elasticity coefficients of NBFI credit growth Variable Coefficient t-statistic Prob. GDP growth (-1) MFI credit growth MFI interest rate EURRON exchange rate NPL rate of NBFIs (+2) R-squared GDP growth EURRON exchange rate MFI credit growth MFI interest rate NPL rate of NBFIs Multivariate regression analysis NBFIs complementary role in financial intermediation NPL volume significant impact on NBFI sector activity Source: own estimation
