Research project: Determinants of Nonperforming loans and the impact on the lending volumes to the real economy in South Saharan Africa
Abstract
One of the central themes of banking system instability and economic distress is that of ex-post credit Risk, in the form of non performing loans(Louzis et al. 2012). After the outbreak of the global financial crises in 2007-2008 the ratio of non performing loans have risen sharply. However, whiles in certain jurisdiction this has been a transitory phenomena, it represents a major threat in South Saharan Africa.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the dynamics of NPLs in the South Saharan African countries and to observe the variables that increases the growth of NPLs in the region. It also seeks to examine the effect of NPLs on banks lending activities and the effects to the real economy.In particular, we investigates country specific determinants such as corruption and culture which have not been investigated in SSA.
