To assess the Asset Quality of Banks/Financial Institutions,the following ratios need to be analyzed:
- Loans Loss
- NON-PERFORMING LOANS TO TOTAL LOANS
- Loans Recoveries Rate
- Loans Loss Reserve
- Earnings coverage
- Capital Adequacy
- Capital Formation Ratio
- Capital to Assets Growth
- Gross Capital to Average Assets plus Reserves
NON-PERFORMING LOANS TO TOTAL LOANS
Ratio | Measure | Formula |
| Non Performing Loans To Total Loans | · helps determine the quantum of non-performing loans in the total loans portfolio.· It also gives an idea of the quality of the loan portfolio and an indication of possible loan losses in the future | Non Performing Loans ———————————-Total Loans |
Simple Illustration:
Details of ABC Bank:
Total Loans | $600 m |
| Non Performing Loans | $ 30m |
| Non Performing Loans to Total Loan Ratio | = 30/600= 5% |
The ratio is normally below 3%. It is important to use inter-bank/financial institutions comparison before proper conclusion is drawn.
More importantly,if we find this ratio is high next is that we should examine the reasons for such a large number of non-performing loans.
