We analyze the loan portfolios of United States banks from 2013 to 2023, showing that high environmental, social, and governance (ESG) banks have larger shares of consumer loans and commercial loans and smaller shares of construction loans and real estate loans. We also find that the governance pillar (G) is more tightly related to the bank loan composition compared to the environmental (E) and social (S) pillars. Furthermore, we show that construction loans and real estate loans decrease more considerably with bank ESG scores inside countries with high gas emissions, i.e., where ESG issues would arguably be more serious. Our interpretation is that sustainable banks are reluctant in lending money for real estate projects, exposing them to potentially high ESG risk. These findings contribute to developing a deeper insight about the relationship between ESG and bank lending, which, in the previous literature, has been treated more frequently in aggregate terms instead of separating loan types. Our outcomes suggest that sustainability is crucial for the availability of funds in the real estate sector, delivering important insights to bank and real estate managers, besides policy makers.

The paper investigates the triggers of arrears on debt in a full recourse euro area country. An extensive individual‐level quarterly panel dataset enables quarterly arrears on debt to be tracked while controlling for individual specific heterogeneity. The estimations show that lower income and higher debt service ratios are associated with a higher probability of arrears, confirming the "ability to pay" hypothesis. The results reveal different debt repayment behaviour for housing and consumer loans over a business cycle. Newly taken housing loans exhibit a lower probability of arrears and the same applies to loans granted during the period of easy credit conditions and high real estate prices, indicating that housing credit boom has not contributed to the rise in arrears on debt. Newly taken consumer loans are related to a higher probability of arrears, suggesting that consumer loans have been used to alleviate financial difficulties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the context of the global economic downturn, the approach guided by consumer loans (CL) to boost consumer confidence is a feasible way to promote the internal circulation of the Chinese economy. Therefore, we use a time-varying rolling-window approach to identify how CL affects the consumer confidence index (CCI). We find that CL can be seen as vital support for promoting confidence because it can ease liquidity constraints and improve consumption levels. The empirical outcome is supported by the Rational Expectations Perpetual Income Hypothesis (RE-PIH), emphasizing that increasing CL can boost consumer confidence. Conversely, CCI has both positive and negative effects on CL. The positive effects suggest that consumers' optimistic confidence leads them to increase borrowing, which in turn creates a heavier debt burden. This statement cannot be supported by the negative effect due to consumers' blind self-confidence will cause cognitive bias, which is not conducive to the loan market development. Against the backdrop of increased global uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the government's continuous adjustment of loan policies, consumers can effectively optimise their consumption decision-making through borrowing. The policymaker can maintain loan stability by effectively promoting consumer confidence and raising the consumption level of the whole society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the scientific literature, there is a lack of a systematic approach to credit risk factors. In addition, insufficient attention is still paid to analysing the macroeconomic factors of consumer loan credit risk. Thus, this research aims to evaluate the macroeconomic factors of consumer loan credit risk in Central and Eastern European countries' banking systems. The findings of the study can be formulated as follows. After analysing scientific literature on credit risk factors, an improved and detailed (at five different levels) classification of factors influencing banking credit risk is proposed. This classification can be beneficial for more enhanced analysis of the factors influencing banking credit risk for the whole loan portfolio as well as for different types of loans, e.g., consumer loans. For quantitative evaluation of the impact of macroeconomic factors on consumer loan credit risk, the methods of panel data analysis and bivariate and multiple regressions are employed. Eleven CEE countries in the period from 2008 to 2020 are analysed. The results revealed that the aggregate of general macroeconomic condition factors is negatively related to consumer loan NPLs. Moreover, the economic growth, stock market, foreign exchange market, and institutional environment factors proved to be risk-decreasing, while credit market and bond market factors had a risk-increasing impact. The results of this research might help financial institutions manage credit risk more efficiently and also might be relevant to governments and central banks when selecting and applying fiscal and monetary policy measures. This study also makes policy recommendations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate how China's rural public pension affects farmers' formal borrowing, which has always been rationed. Design/methodology/approach: This paper uses a difference-in-difference (DID) estimation to evaluate the effect of the implementation of the New Rural Pension Scheme (NRPS) at the end of 2009 on farmers' formal borrowing. Findings: The results show that the NRPS significantly reduces farmers' formal borrowing from rural credit cooperatives (RCCs). The effect is significant among the elderly, eastern China and high-income groups. Originality/value: This study contributes to the literature by identifying another potential reason for rural formal credit shortage. Policymakers and rural formal financial institutions should consider the demand side problem of lending. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper studies the determinants of the interest rate spreads in Estonia, a country that stands out among European countries for its wide spreads and highly concentrated banking sector. Four distinct credit markets are considered for housing loans, consumer loans, long-term corporate loans and short-term corporate loans. The paper uses quarterly panel data from 2000Q1–2021Q1. It uses a two-stage approach to disaggregate the observed spread into a component determined by the bank-specific factors and a component determined by the market-specific factors, which is called pure spread. For each of the two components, we find substantial differences in the determinants of the spreads across different types of loan. While credit risk is important for long-term corporate and housing loans, inverse efficiency is significant in the segment of short-term loans. The contribution of market concentration to the pure spread is larger for household loans than for corporate loans. [Display omitted] • Bank-level factors contribute markedly less to interest rate spreads than market-level factors do • Credit risk is important for the spread on loans with long maturity, both for corporate and household loans • Market concentration matters more for household loans than for corporate loans • The consumer loan market shows evidence of large market imperfections leading to higher spreads • The results suggest that tailor-made policies for each credit market would be more effective at lowering the margins [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose – the aim of this study is to specify the factors affecting the non-performing consumer loans in deposit banks operating in Turkey. Besides the internal factors specific to banks, the effect of macroeconomic factors is also investigated. Research methodology – monthly data of deposit banks operating in Turkey and data on macroeconomic indicators for the period 2005:1–2021:12 is used is the study. With these data, ARDL bound testing approach is applied. If there is cointegration relation between variables, the long and short run coefficients are estimated. Findings – with the two different models created in the study, it has been specified that macroeconomic variables and internal variables have a cointegration relationship with non-performing loans. The rise in loan interest rates and unemployment rate increase the rate of non-performing consumer loans. Conversely, the increase in deposit interest rates and the dollar exchange rate decreases the rate of non-performing consumer loans. For internal factors, it is determined that the increase in the capital adequacy standard ratio and the return on assets decreases the ratio of non-performing consumer loans. Research limitations – the major limitation of this study is to research only the factors affecting the non-performing consumer loans ratio for Turkey. Practical implications – the results obtained in the study are valuable for bank managers and investors. Administrative decisions and investment decisions by considering the factors affecting the non-performing consumer loans ratio will increase the performance of both groups. Originality/Value – studies in the literature generally consider non-performing loans for banks as a whole. However, determining the factors affecting the non-performing loans ratio on the basis of loan types will make a significant contribution to the literature. For this reason, the factors affecting the non-performing consumer loans for the Turkish market is investigated, thus contributing to the literature.

Although empirical studies show that different types of loans have different risks (moreover, consumer credit risk is higher compared to other types of loans), it is common to study the credit risk of the banking sector as a whole, or of an individual bank's whole loan portfolio, and the macro-economic factors affecting it (without grouping them by type of loan). Thus, an analysis of the credit risk of the whole loan portfolio (measured by all non-performing loans) is insufficient. Therefore, the aim of this research is to identify the macroeconomic determinants of the consumer loan credit risk and quantitatively assess their impact in Central and Eastern European countries. After the analysis of scientific literature in the field of credit risk determinants, a detailed classification of factors influencing banking credit risk is proposed. The distinguishing feature of the classification is that the factors influencing credit risk are classified at five different levels; twelve groups of general macroeconomic conditions variables were selected as the potential factors of NPLs. This classification can be useful to better understand and investigate the factors influencing banking credit risk for the whole loan portfolio (in the same way as the factors that affect the credit risk of different types of loans, e.g., consumer loans). Using the methods of constant, fixed and random-effects panel analysis, simple OLS, least squares with breakpoints regression analysis and Markov regime-switching models, the impact of the macroeconomic variables from twelve separate groups is evaluated. The data from 11 CEE countries are used, and the period from 2008 to 2020 is covered. The results of this assessment reveal that in the group of CEE countries, such variables as GDP and labour market variables appeared to have contributed to the increase in the share of non-performing consumer loans, while inflation and real estate market variables were related to the decrease in consumer NPLs; at the same time, the impact of variables form other groups appeared to be mixed-nature or insignificant. The results of this research are useful in that they allow the identification of the most important determinants of consumer loan credit risk and thus allow making assumptions about NPL changes due to the changing macroeconomic situation. In the case of Lithuania, this kind of study (assessment of macroeconomic determinants of consumer loan credit risk) was conducted for the first time. Consumer loan credit risk assessment is especially relevant in an increasing interest rate environment, and deeper analysis can help banks and other financial institutions to manage credit risk. On the other hand, a better understanding of the main influencing factors of the macroeconomic environment can help central banks and other official institutions take appropriate monetary and fiscal policy decisions to ensure a good credit transmission channel for sustainable economic growth.

The article is concerned with analyzing the current state of development of credit unions and carrying out assessment and structuring of the main reasons that hinder their further development. It is defined that today in the world the most common form of financial cooperatives are credit unions that provide loans to socially vulnerable segments of the population and provide financial support to small business entities, farms, which becomes especially relevant during the pandemic. Information on the volume of activities of credit unions in some countries of the world and in Europe is provided. It is noted that the activities of credit unions in Ukraine are at an unsatisfactory level, as a result of the crisis in credit unions, the quality of loan servicing began to deteriorate. Overdue arose not only for consumer loans, but also concerning the loans for business needs. The current situation is analyzed and the main stages of development of credit unions are allocated. On the basis of a comparative analysis of the activities of credit unions and banks, the main advantages and disadvantages in the work of credit unions are allocated. A structural view of the reasons that hinder the development of credit unions is proposed. A model is constructed that allows to propose a sequence of actions, structure existing causes and identify critical ones, namely, imperfection of legislative regulation, presence of institutional restrictions, economic and political instability. It is concluded that at the present stage of development of the system of credit unions in Ukraine, scientific substantiation and legislative regulation of this segment are necessary, taking into account domestic peculiarities and international experience. Credit unions, in turn, should implement the latest technologies and expand the range of services, which will allow to work for a wider audience.

Unemployment is one of the problems of Filipinos, which affects their consumption of goods and services since they have no income, worsened by the increasing prices in the market. Here, they tend to acquire consumer loans to support their means in obtaining their needs and wants, but due to the acquisition of previous loans and obligations to pay, they tend to adjust their consumption. Embedded from the Life-Cycle Hypothesis, Permanent Income Hypothesis and Keynesian Consumption Theory, the main objective of the research was to identify the relationship of unemployment, consumer loans per capita, real gross domestic product per capita, and inflation rate with the real household final consumption expenditure per capita in the Philippines using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) in multiple regression analysis, and diagnostic tests in Eviews software using empirical time-series quarterly data from 2009 to 2019. This research found that unemployment and consumer loans per capita have an indirect relationship with the consumption of Filipinos. On the other hand, the gross domestic product per capita has a direct relationship. This claimed that all variables are significantly related to consumption except the inflation rate, although it showed an indirect trend. The findings exposed that Filipinos adjust their consumption to cope with no income due to unemployment, acquisition of consumer loans, and inflation rate to attain their needs and wants while having income increases their consumption. This research recommended that the Philippine government support the unemployed Filipinos by providing insurance or benefits, lessening the lending interest rate of loans, and overseeing the market prices to aid their consumption.

Expansionary monetary policies, which were preferably implemented by developed countries after the global crisis, together with increases in risk appetite, caused sudden changes in fund activities in financial markets. As a result of this, central banks whose primary objective is to ensure price stability began to seek new policies. In this regard, the reserve options mechanism is one of the non-traditional monetary policy instruments developed and conducted by the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT). This study aims to analyse and illustrate the relationship between the use of reserve options mechanism in Turkey and working capital and consumer loans from September 2011 to February 2019. In the light of the nonlinear asymmetric smooth transition error correction model developed by Hepsag (2019), the results indicate that there is a long-run cointegration relationship between the variables.

In recent years, the Court of Justice of the European Union has issued a number of judgments addressing the issue of consumer protection in connection with the use of unfair terms by banks in loan agreements indexed with a foreign currency exchange rate. Most of them have concerned issues of exchange rate risk and exchange rate differences between the purchase and sale rates of a given currency applied by the bank. This article analyzes the recent ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union in the Dziubak case, which was initiated by referring questions for a preliminary ruling by a Polish court. The article's purpose is to assess the position taken by the CJEU in this respect and its significance for consumers in Poland. Particular attention was paid to the considerations with regard to the possibility of replacing unfair provisions with general provisions and assessing the consumer's awareness of the consequences of declaring a contract invalid. The aim is to examine the issues that were dealt with by the Court of Justice of the European Union in the Dziubak case, including – in particular – the answer to the question of whether the issues discussed by the CJEU had already been considered in its previous jurisprudence and whether it presents new, previously unknown legal consequences of the inclusion of unfair contract terms in loan agreements.

The rapid increase in bad loans caused banks to be more cautious and selective for minimizing their risks. However, although banks make the lending decision by using quantitative financial criteria, the final decision step is usually intuitive/judgemental when the offer does not meet the expectations of the customer. In this case, the success of the decision directly depends on the experience of the bank personnel or unit manager. Such an application may lead to decisions that do not comply with a specific standard/rule and result in default. One of the ways to eliminate these drawbacks is to standardize and automate the final decision phase within the framework of some subjective rules determined with common sense by the top management of the bank. Fuzzy logic allows quantitative analysis of subjective judgments and qualitative criteria. In this context, the aim of the study is to examine how fuzzy logic approaches can be used in the final step of lending decisions. A hypothetical lending decision was modeled and resolved using fuzzy linguistic qualifiers, fuzzy propositions, and fuzzy logic control systems. As a result, the fuzzy rule base of the control system that was visualized with MATLAB made it possible to examine the impact of different levels of subjective evaluation scores on the final decision. Also, decision fields and customer groups could be created with the pseudo-code surface images. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• Open banking shrinks traditional bank loans in BRICS. • Consumers show less inclination for traditional bank loans. • Open banking promotes financial inclusion in emerging markets. This study examines the influence of open banking regulation on traditional bank loans in the emerging markets of the BRICS—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Utilizing bank-level and individual-level data, the paper reveals that the introduction of open banking significantly diminishes consumer loan lending by traditional banks. Additionally, consumer propensity to acquire loans from traditional banks decreases. The research provides empirical evidence of how open banking impacts both the supply and demand sides of individual loans from traditional banks. This paper contributes to the literature by highlighting the unique role of open banking in promoting financial inclusion in emerging economies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Responsible borrowing means a thorough reflection on the need to become indebted, full transfer of true information affecting creditworthiness, comprehensive analysis of the credit agreement, and refraining from avoiding the repayment of loan obligations. The main purpose of the article is to verify the hypothesis that Polish legislators make only the lenders fully responsible for excessive borrowing on the consumer loan market. The following research methods were used: critical analysis of the subject literature and economic analysis of the respective legal provisions. On the basis of the analyses conducted, areas were identified in which the legislator should use the appropriate legal instruments stimulating responsible borrowing. Among them the following were listed: the consumer's obligation to prove the absence of overdue payments and the consumer's notification of becoming acquainted with the terms of the loan agreement.

The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between consumer loans and some macroeconomic variables between 2006:Q1 and 2018:Q2 quarter periods in Turkey. In this context; consumer loans, inflation, exchange rate, interest and money supply variables were used. Firstly, the stability of variables are analyzed that structural non-breaking unit root test (ADF, PP) and a structural break (Zivot-Andrews) unit root test. Whether or not there is a long-term relationship between the variables was investigated by the Gregory- Hansen structural fracture cointegration test. The direction of causality between the variables was examined with Toda-Yamamato causality test. In Toda-Yamamoto causality test, it is seen that there is a bidirectional causality relationship between interest rate and consumer loans. In addition, the one-way causality relationship from money supply to consumer loans has been determined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Finansal sektörün temel aktörlerinden olan bankaların karlılık durumları ve mali yapılarının güçlü olması ülke ekonomileri açısından büyük öneme sahiptir. Bankaların en önemli işlevi tasarruf fazlası olanlar ile fon ihtiyacı olanları bir araya getirmektedir. Bankaları bu işlevi yerine getirirken özellikle fon ihtiyacı olanların fon ihtiyaçlarını kredi ihtiyaç, ticari, tüketici vb. vererek karşılamaktadırlar. Verilen kredilerin düzenli bir şekilde geri dönüşünün sağlanması bankaların mali yapılarını güçlendirmekte ve karlılık oranlarını arttırmaktadır. Ancak verilen krediler her zaman geri ödenmemekte ve takibe düşmektedir. Takipteki kredilerin artması bankalar açısından mali yapılarını düşürücü ve karlılıklarını azaltıcı bir etki yapmaktadır. Ekonominin dinamoları olan bankaların takipteki kredilerinin artmasının altında yatan nedenler bankanın kendi iç dinamikleri ile alakalı olabilirken, makroekonomik değişkenlerinde takipteki kredilerin artmasında büyük etkisi vardır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, ülke ekonomileri açısından hayati öneme sahip olan bankaların aktif büyüklüklerini etkileyen en önemli faktörlerden birisi olan ve firmaların ödeyebilme güçlerini gösteren takipteki ticari kredileri belirleyen makroekonomik faktörleri tahmin etmek ve bu faktörlerin takipteki ticari kredileri etkileyiş yönünü ve derecesini tespit etmektir. Takipteki kredilerin belirleyicileri yapısal kırılmalar altında tespit edilmiş olup, birim kök sınamaları Kapetanios çoklu yapısal kırılmalı birim kök testi ile sınanmış, eşbütünleşme testi yapısal kırılmalı Hatemi-J 2008 eşbütünleşme testi ile yapılmıştır. Ayrıca eşbütünleşme katsayılarının tahmini de Dinamik En Küçük Kareler DEKK yöntemi ile tespit edilmiştir.Bu bağlamda 2005Q4-2015Q2 dönemi için yapılan Hatemi-J 2008 eşbütünleşme testi sonuçlarına göre takipteki ticari kredileri belirleyen makroekonomik faktörler GSYİH, BİST-100 endeksi, ticari kredi faiz oranları ve reel döviz kuru olarak tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca BİST-100 endeksinin takipteki ticari kredi oranlarını negatif güçlü yönde etkilediği, reel döviz kurunun ise pozitif güçlü yönde etkilediği tespit edilmiştir.

The purpose of this paper is represented by the structural analysis of loans, by territorial profile, of the non-bank, non-governmental customers, between 2004 and 2013. The choice of topic was the result of a careful observation and understanding of the loan mechanisms within the banking system, the loan representing an essential link in the functioning mechanism of the economy and the cornerstone of the general economic equilibrium which gives the impression of wealth. Thus, the economic crisis has led to a major shift in thinking, i.e. the habit of an accelerated loan growth has been replaced by an accelerated decrease and by the decline of confidence in the banking system. The resumption of growth in 2013 has led to the need for the banking system in Romania to find, as soon as possible, an appropriate structure of loans, in order to continue without worries the crediting of reliable customers (households and economic agents).The present research was conducted at regional level, using the principal components method, which is a descriptive method of multidimensional analysis data that applied to the study of the link between numerical variables that for analysis are standardized and reduced.

In recent years, the surge in household indebtedness to historical heights has become a significant concern for developed economies. A similar trend has been witnessed in emerging market countries including Turkey. Our objective is to help further understand the dynamics of the recent growth in consumer loans and credit cards (CLCC) in Turkey. For this purpose, we investigate the long-term equilibrating relationships and short-term deviations from the equilibrium, and explore the determinants, directions, and strengths of causality relationships between CLCC and the selected macroeconomic variables, and analyze the dynamic interactions among the variables in the post-sample period by analyzing how CLCC responds to the shocks given to other macroeconomic variables and the contribution of each variable on the forecast variability of CLCC. We use monthly data for the period of January 2004--December 2013 of seven macroeconomic variables of money supply, interest rate, income, consumer confidence, inflation, stock market, and consumer goods imports. On empirical findings, we make suggestions about which policy tools should be used to influence, and if necessary to manage, the growth in CLCC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article deals with the transformation processes that took place in the credit market of Ukraine under the influence of the modern financial and economic crisis. In the article have been analyzed problems and factors that caused the long stagnation of the credit activity in banking sector especially in certain types of bank lending. The author notes that the main reason of such a long credit contraction in the banking sector was the week institutional development of the Ukrainian credit market in previous periods. It is the lack of developed credit market institutions that caused problems of proper protection of the creditors' rights, non-performing loans management and hedging of market risks. In the article has been pointed out on the discovered tendency of active growth of the share of loans issued in the non-banking sector. At this stage, the trend is quite active, but mostly occurs in the segment of short-term consumer lending and in the area of instruments alternative to mortgage lending. Despite the market nature of the process reflecting this trend, due to the underdeveloped institutional infrastructure, it also poses a potential risk of increased fraud activity and over-indebtedness of the households. Based on the analysis of the characteristics and processes in the Ukrainian credit market the author has made conclusions about the importance of state assistance in the development of regulatory and legal support of the Ukrainian credit market in order to restore bank lending and strengthen supervision of the non-banking sector of the credit market. It is emphasized that without a state-initiated solution of the institutional problems present on the credit market of Ukraine, the recovery of the credit market may take an indefinite period of time.
