Programme Overview

A number of countries face the problem related to Non-performing Loans and their levels. Non-performing loans can be a heavy burden for banks, reducing their ability to extend credit to the real economy. Any bank faces non-performing loan risk due to its main function as a financial intermediary. Various efforts have been made by banks to avoid the NPL. However, due to various reasons in business environment or debtor’s management ability, any bank continues to experience them. In result, NPLs affect the total economic growth, banks themselves, borrowers and taxpayers too. Non-Performing Loans Management & Debt-Recovery Strategies in Bangkok, Thailand will discuss the framework conditions needed for successful NPL resolution and the various on- and off-balance sheet approaches that are available to manage this problem.

Delivered by Risalat Consultants International in Bangkok, Thailand, it combines expert-led sessions, real cases and group work, so that participants can apply what they learn in their own institution.

  • Defining Non-Performing Loans (NPL)
  • Types of Non-Performing Loans
  • Indicators of Non-Performing Loans
  • Scale and Scope of NPL’s impact on the Economy
  • Creating and Implementing the NPL Strategy
  • Governance of Non-Performing Loans
  • Banking Treatment of NPLs and non-performing investment projects
  • Borrower Credit Rating and Provisioning
  • Budget preparation and execution
  • Financial reporting and accounting standards
  • Cash and treasury management
  • Internal control over payments and assets

It is designed for professionals from Central Banks, Ministries of Finance and other Institutions who are involved in NPL Management, bank Credit Officers and Investment Bankers, bond Credit Analysts and Fund Managers and others who want practical, current skills in public financial management and finance.
