What is Credit?
8
 It is the temporary transfer of capital from
those who own it to those who use it.
 Credit means receiving something of value now
and promising to pay for it later, often with a
financial charge added by the lender.
General Facts About Credit
 It is a loan granted to creditworthy clients
with interest (conventional) and/or charges
(IFB).
 Tenure-wise Long, Medium and Short term
loans.
 Loans with specific maturity period (term
loan), revolving credit facilities like O/D, L/C,
pre-shipment…
 It could be secured or unsecured loans
Cont…
 Among the different functions in the bank, lending
function is the core business line of the banking
which contributes the major share of income to
their profitability.
 Thus, the credit operations exposes banks to high
credit risk, and if it poorly managed lead them to
lose significant amount of their income in the form
of loan loss provision.
 Loan portfolio management can be considered as
the heart of a commercial bank efficiency as it
plays vital role in the performance of a financial
institution by mitigating credit risk.
• Effective credit risk management improves credit
performance through establishing appropriate
credit risk environment, maintaining credit limits
at acceptable level, undertaking sound credit
granting process, proper monitoring and
controlling credit risk.
• Banks credit management processes can be
summarized in three main stages. These stages
are: credit appraisal, disbursement and credit
administration.
Cont…
• Poor credit risk management lead to the
accumulation of nonperforming loan (NPL)
under which the generated profit will not only
eroded through loan provision but also the
bank’s soundness, safety and stability of such
bank can be compromised.
• Failure of credit risk management system and
practice as one of the main cause of financial
crises.

Credit Risk?
What is Risk?
• Risk is the probability of occurrence of
unfavorable outcome.
Or
• A chance that an outcome or
investment's actual gain will differ from
an expected outcome or implies future
uncertainty about deviation from
expected earnings.
• In a worst case, risk includes the
possibility of losing some or all of an
original investment.

The followings are basic elements of effective credit
risk management:-
i. Board and Senior management oversight;
ii. Adequate credit policies, procedures, limits;
iii. Independent risk management function;
iv. Effective credit follow-up & monitoring, and
workout function;
v. Effective Credit MIS – furnish appropriate
reports; and
vi. Trained staff i.e. qualified to implement the
system.
Elements of Effective Credit Risk Management
Credit Risk Identification
The first step in the process of managing
credit risk is:-
identifying existence of potential risks in the
bank. Risk identification can start with
identifying the activities/products/operations
units which make a bank vulnerable to credit
risk. Moreover, credit risk should be identified
at the time of new product development.
Steps of Credit Risk Management
The credit risk identification of the lending operation can be analyzed both at
transaction level and portfolio level:
A. Transaction level
An element of risk is inherent in any type of loan and other placements
because of the uncertainty of the repayment. We should establish appropriate
policy and procedures to identify credit risk at transaction level:
• Various approaches like, 5 C’s, :
• Character: the borrower’s credit worthiness and honesty;
• Capacity: both the borrowers legal standing and its management expertise in
handling the business so that the borrower can repay the loan;
• Capital: wealth condition measure by financial soundness and market
standing;
• Collateral: the banks second source of repayment or security in case of
default;
• Condition: the general economic environment of industry specific situations/
of the loan.
Cont…
B. Portfolio level
It refers to the inherent risk in the composition of the credit
portfolio, in general, and is highly influenced by the
concentration of the following criteria:
• Agriculture: production and yield risk due to unpredictable
impact of weather, pests and diseases, and other calamities
on farm production such as droughts and flooding,
perishable Horticulture.
• Manufacturing: dependency on imported raw material,
power supply.
• Construction and building: rises in cost of living,
unemployment, adverse economic conditions.
• OD: difficult to monitor utilization, diversion.
• Collateralization: on the type of security- clean, movable, or
immovable
Cont…
A Bank shall consider quantitative and Qualitative
factors:
Example
Quantitative Factors:
NPL (Non-performing Loans) Ratio,
Special Mention loans, particularly past due more
than 60 days,
Provision coverage for NPLs, and regular loans
Credit Concentration level,
Average loan recovery rate – collateral,
Credit Risk Measurement
A Bank shall consider quantitative and Qualitative factors:
Example
Qualitative Factors:
 CMD structure, manning,
 Quality and level of underwriting – credit worthiness
assessment & appraisal,
 Asset classification and provisioning practices – NBE
directive No.SBB/69/2018,
 Loan Grading (risk factors-internal and external rating),
 Strength of Credit follow-up & monitoring function,
 Strength of Credit workout strategy effectiveness,
 Foreclosure and credit litigation effectiveness,
 Adherence to NBE directives and own policies & procedures,
Cont…
Additional Measurement Tools:
• What is Stress Testing?
Credit Risk Stress testing: can range
from relatively simple alterations in
assumptions about one or more
financial, structural or economic
variables, to the use of highly
sophisticated financial models.

Solution for Example -2
Default by Large Borrowers – Substandard
We can use various techniques of mitigating credit risk:
A. The most common are collateral, guarantees and netting
off of loans against deposits of the same counterparty.
These techniques will reduce or transfer credit risk. In
Ethiopia, the most common credit risk mitigation
technique used is collateral. Banks should primarily assess
the borrower’s capacity to repay and should not use
collateral to compensate for insufficient information.
B. Setting exposure limits,
C. Putting in place sound credit policies and procedures, i.e.
credit granting, administration, managing problem loans.
D. Other methods could be risk based pricing, covenants,
financial conditions reporting, tightening and
diversification.
Credit Risk Mitigation
This is the step where banks shall take and
develop a Risk Register, credit review
function, internal audit inspection and
other activities to use all available platforms
to monitor, track and review risks.
Credit Risk Monitoring
 Absence of adequate written
policies;
 Absence of portfolio
concentration limits;
 Excessive centralization or
decentralization;
 Poor industry and financial
analysis;
 Infrequent customer contact;
 Excessive OD lending;
 Incomplete loan contract and
loan files;
 Reliance on collateral;
 Loan disbursement before
all relevant documents;
 Regulatory pressures;
 Instability in the business
environment;
 Lack of adequate and
reliable data about the
borrowers;
 Unfair competition;
 Unreliable financial
information
Common Challenges of Credit Risk
Management
Credit Risk Management
Case 1
61
Identify the early warning signals of the customer’s business
that requires close follow up and remedial actions
Early Warning Signals in Regular Loan Follow-UP
 The Credit performer shall detect/Recognize the
early warning signal and shall close follow up the
customer and take remedial action:
Warning signals generally emanate from:
 Financial Related problems
 Operational Related Problems
 Market Related problems
 Attitudinal Related problems
63
Early Warning Signals in Regular Loan Follow-UP
1. Financial Related problems:
 Irregularity in loan repayments
 Failure to honor financial obligations, L/Cs, invocation of
guarantees
 Sales transactions not routed through Bank accounts
 Declining current ratios
 Declining profitability/loss
 Erosion in TNW
 Changing/opening accounts with other Banks
 Worsening credit ratings- Internal/External
64
Early Warning Signals in Regular Loan Follow-UP
2. Operational Related Problems:
 Low activity levels in business/capacity
 Disorderly diversification/Frequent change in plans
 Growth of overdue receivables
 Return of outward bills unpaid/dishonored cheques
 Low inventory/stocks movement
 Non- payment of wages/utility bills
 Frequent labor problems
 Loss of critical/important customers
 Frequent return/rejection of finished goods
65
Early Warning Signals in Regular Loan Follow-UP
3. Market Related problems:
– Inability to source supplies on usual credit terms
– Complaints regarding quality of goods/service
– Legal action against the business by customers
– Loss of markets/key customers
– Change in market preference for the product
– Adverse changes in government policies
– Emergence of new competitors
– Emergence of new technology/products 66
Early Warning Signals in Regular Loan Follow-UP
4. Attitudinal Changes
 Dissension among directors/partners/promoters
 Avoids contact with the bank
 Non/delayed submission of financial statements
 Falsifying of financial statements etc
67
Early Warning Signals in Regular Loan Follow-UP
 The Credit Performer should carry out assessment of the
borrower‘s business viability by indicating key performance
indicators such as profitability, activity level, management of the
business, etc.
 In so doing, the he/she shall identifies those borrowers that
need special attention and categorize them as “watch list” for
further close follow-up and appropriate remedial action.
68
Types of Regular Loan Follow-UP
 Physical follow-up: Existence and operation of the business status
of collateral and correctness of declared financial data, availability
of RM, labor situations, Turnover of key employees.
 Financial Follow-up: Whether assumptions on which lending
decisions was taken continuous to hold good, both with regard to
borrower‘s operation and environment, and whether the end use
is according to the purpose for which the loan was given.
 Legal Follow-up: to ensure legal recourse available kept alive at all
times. (Loan/Mortgage contracts, as appropriate);
69
70
What does it mean NPL and how
identify the causes of NPLs?
Meaning of Non-performing Loans (NPLs)
 Non-performing Loans - loans and advances whose credit
quality has deteriorated such that full collection of
principal and/or interest in accordance with the
contractual repayment terms of the loan or advances is in
question: (SBB/69/2018).
 Loans and advances with established repayment
programs are NPL, when principal and /or interest is due
and uncollected for 90 consecutive days or more beyond
the scheduled payment date or maturity.
72
 Overdraft and loans or advances that do not have
a pre-established repayment program shall be
categorized as non-performing when:
a) The debt remains outstanding for 90 consecutive
days or more beyond the scheduled payment date
or maturity
b) The debt exceeds the borrower's approved limit for
90 consecutive days or more
73
Cont…
c) For over draft,
(i) the account has been inactive for 90 consecutive days or
more, but less than 180 days or
(ii) deposits are insufficient to cover the interest accrued
during 90 consecutive days or
(iii) the account fails to show debit balance of 5-19% of the
approved limit at least once over 360 days preceding the
date of loan review.
Cont…
Causes of Non-performing Loans (NPL)
75
Causes of problem
loans are broadly
classified in two:
External factors Internal factors
76
1. External Factors:
 Business cycle: The expansion phase of the economy is
characterized by a relatively low number of NPLs. However as the
booming period continues, credit is extended to lower-quality
debtors and subsequently, when the recession phase sets in, NPLs
increase.
 Unemployment rate: Increases in unemployment may signal a
decrease production as a consequence of a drop in effective
demand. This may lead to a decrease in revenues and a fragile
debt condition.
Cont…
77
1. External Factors:…
 Macroeconomic instability (Inflation, interest rate, Exchange
rate etc):The probability that firms will make losses rise; as does
the probability that they will earn windfall profits.
 Political
 Social
 Technological
 Environmental(ecological)
 Legal etc.
Cont…
78
2. Internal/ Bank Specific Factors
 Rapid credit growth: Excessive lending explains loan loss rate
 High interest rate: Inappropriate loan pricing (For Banks
changing differentiated interest rate), High interest rate
impairs Business profitability
 Lenient Credit Terms: Terms and conditions set during loan
sanctioning has the detrimental factors. Credit managers
reacted to competition from other bankers and that this
competition might have encouraged a weaker lending
standard that leads to loan defaults
Cont…
79
2. Internal/ Bank Specific Factors
 Lack of proper skill amongst loan officials, speedy process of
evaluating loans mainly due to external pressure, are among
the factors that lead to huge concentration of non-performing
loans.
 Bank size: Small banks prefer to lend to small firms that lack
hard financial data to support the lending decision and riskier
to the extent that the failure rates of small businesses are
higher than those of larger, established firms;
Cont…
80
2. Internal/ Bank Specific Factors
 Poor loan follow up (Monitoring): Some of the loans defaults
ascribe to lower level of attention given to borrowers. More
banks lose money because they do not monitor their borrower’s
property, and fail to recognize warning signs early enough.
 Poor Risk Assessment: Risk, and the ways, in which it can be
identified, quantified and minimized, is key concerns for a bank’s
management.
Cont…
NPLs Management Strategies
81
 As per the NBE directive SBB/69/2018 a bank shall
establish loan workout and recovery team to manage
the NPLs.
 Non-performing Loans Management Strategies
 Amicable Resolution(workout)
 Legal Proceedings
 Write-off and Post write-off follow up
Amicable Resolution/Loan workout
82
 It is undertaken provided recovery is found promising Loan
Workout Negotiation Points:
 The borrower’s/guarantor’s proposal for repaying his/her/its
debt;
 Source and capacity of repayment (down payment and
periodic repayments);
 Settlement conditions;
 Collateral;
 Tenure/duration of restructuring or rescheduling a loan;
 Additional covenants, if any, etc.
83
Options for Amicable Resolution( Loan workout)
 Restructuring- changing the tenure and mode of repayment
 Securing additional collateral/change of collateral including a
personal guarantee by owners/shareholders;
 Cross-collateralizing multiple loans;
 Voluntary liquidation of collateral already held;
 Sellout/buyout of loan to/from other banks;
 Changing the form of loan partially or fully;
 Transfer of the loan to another potential borrower;
 Enforcing additional conditions/covenants;
Cont…
84
Options for Amicable Resolution( Loan workout)…
 Voluntary sale of other assets for loan repayment;
 Replacement or improvement of the management;
 Assigning a co-manager or a controlling staff;
 Reduction of overdraft to a lower limit; and
 Approve additional finance if there are appropriate and
concrete justifiable reasons.
Cont…
85
 While using the above options, it is mandatory to confirm the
eligibility of the case per relevant directives of the regulatory
body and policy and procedure of the Bank, for such
consideration;
 NBE directive SBB/69/2018 states that a bank shall not
renegotiate short or medium term loans and advances to
a borrower for more than 5 iterations and long term loans
and advances for more than 6 iterations.
Cont…
86
 The manner of collection of interest and/or principal in
arrears by the bank and issues related to grace period shall
also be part of the renegotiation between the bank and the
borrower depending on specific circumstances of the loan and
capacity of the borrower
 A bank may extend additional loans and advances to a
borrower who defaulted from own bank with a view to
rehabilitate loans and advances
Cont…
Application of Penalty Rate on NPLs
87
 The Bank charges an additional penalty rate of 3% as soon as
a loan account turns non-performing.
 The 3% penalty rate shall be waived for a restructured/
rescheduled loan immediately even though it is still in NPL
category.
Re-Transfer of Regularized Loans
 Cases shall be transferred back to the CRM where the
customer’s business is believed to generate sustainable cash
flow to warrant full settlement of the debt and fulfills the
relevant NBE directive.
Legal Proceedings (Foreclosure or Litigation)
88
 It is not always possible to resolve cases in a positive manner.
Hence, if no mutual agreement is reached to the better, legal
proceedings will come to the picture:
 Legal process can be executed under any of the following
mechanisms:
 When the loan is not recoverable through amicable means;
 When the concerned approving team decides on transfer of
loan cases to legal process after exhausting other
settlement alternatives.
Write-Off
89
 If it appears that part of the outstanding debt is uncovered from
proceeds through the legal process and other all means, proposal
will be presented for temporary removal of the uncollectible
outstanding principal balance (write-off) from the Bank’s balance
sheet:
 The property found in the name of the borrower/guarantor,
their spouses or the collateralized property is proved not to
cover the loan fully; and
 After having ascertained that there is no other attachable
property to cover the remaining balance fully or partially.
Reasons for Proposing Write-Off
90
 Absence of Property
 Insolvency
 Bankruptcy
 Higher Cost of Recovery than the Realizable Value of the
Property
 Defects in Documentation
 Court Judgment against the Bank
 Elapse of Statutory Period
Post Write-Off follow-up
91
 Post write off follow-up will proceed to further exploit
unforeseen opportunities, to recover the loan;
 Finally, Draw lesson and compile data for future consumption as
input to avoid similar experience

  • 57. We can use various techniques of mitigating credit risk: A. The most common are collateral, guarantees and netting off of loans against deposits of the same counterparty. These techniques will reduce or transfer credit risk. In Ethiopia, the most common credit risk mitigation technique used is collateral. Banks should primarily assess the borrower’s capacity to repay and should not use collateral to compensate for insufficient information. B. Setting exposure limits, C. Putting in place sound credit policies and procedures, i.e. credit granting, administration, managing problem loans. D. Other methods could be risk based pricing, covenants, financial conditions reporting, tightening and diversification. Credit Risk Mitigation
