Research paper thumbnail of Linear and asymmetric analyses of macro-economic and bank-specific determinants of non-performing loans in West African Monetary Zone (WAMZ)

We found that both bank-specific and macro-economic determinants jointly influence NPLs in varying degrees. There is also empirical evidence that NPL adjusts more non-linearly/asymmetrically to the dynamics of the bank-specific and macro-economic determinants than it does linearly. This discovery will
guide in rebalancing the policy direction in loan and credit administration from just a linear direction to a combination of linear and nonlinear perspectives especially in the WAMZ.
