17 Findings of 212 NPLs Report Factors behind slow resolution of NPLs include: Delays and weaknesses in enforcement of collateral Underdeveloped frameworks for going-concern or out-of-court restructurings lead to lengthy and inefficient liquidations Absence of insolvency frameworks for natural persons leaves debt lingering on bank books Weakness in legal institutional frameworks delay resolution and overload court systems Tax systems disincentivize recognition of losses Lax banking supervision provides disincentives for NPL resolution Underdeveloped markets for distressed assets Collective action problems Need comprehensive, tailored, coordinated approach Avoid direct government intervention/subsidy Improve NPL transparency and data consistency
