Non-performing loan volumes in central, eastern and south-eastern Europe increased marginally in the 12 months to December 2023, reversing a three-year decline observed since 2020, according to the latest NPL Monitor report published by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
Non-performing loan volumes across CESEE rose on average by 0.9 per cent to €27.5bn between December 2022 and December 2023, with most countries maintaining a “steady NPL ratio”, with the exception of a few outliers.
