The present study examines the effect of political connection and credit risk management on Indonesian bank’s performance during the declining credit growth period. The present study involved 258 banks that registered in the Indonesian Stock Exchange from 2012 to 2017 as the sample of the study. Company political connection was measured using headcount index, credit risk management was measured by its credit risk value or NPL, and the company financial performance was measured based on Return on Asset. The data of the study were obtained from banks and Indonesian Stock Exchange annual report. The result of regression analysis showed that Indonesian bank’s political connection positively and significantly affected financial performance, and credit risk significantly affected bank’s financial performance. This result implied that banks in Indonesia needs political connection and improve their credit risk management in order to improve their financial performance during the declining credit growth period.

This study attempted to explore the connection between credit risk management and the profitability of the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) listed commercial banks. The study specifically sought to examine the relationship between credit risk and the profitability of the firms as measured by ROA. The study adopted these variables to measure credit risk (non-performing loan ratio, cost per loan asset, capital reserved 0.1ratio and asset growth ratio) and return on asset (ROA) as a profitability estimator. Following some diagnostic and specification studies to address the fundamental assumptions of the Classical Linear Regression Model (CLRM). The study uncovered that NPLR had a significantly negative effect on the firms’ profitability as measured by ROA [β=-0.1671, (p=0.1360)>0.05]. Also, the cost per loan asset (CPLA) had a positive influence on the firms’ profitability as measured by ROA [β= 0.0249, (p=0.8252)>0.05]. For the other variables of credit risk measurements, capital reserved ratio, and assets growth ratio. The capital reserve ratio had a significant positive association with ROA [β=0.2867, (p=0.0095) <0.05. Similarly, asset growth ratio had a statistically significant negative connection with firm’s profitability measured by ROA [β=-0.3835, (p=0.0004) <0.05. Based on the results, the study suggested that since credit risk had a negative association with the firm’s profitability, the companies should adopt efficient credit risk management methods to assist guide their profitability. This point is raised because, as demonstrated by the results of the study, an increase in credit risk led to a decrease in the profitability of the companies.

This study examines the influence of credit risk management on the performance of Nigerian banks with particular reference to selected banks. Purposive sampling technique was used to select five Nigerian banks. Secondary data was used for this study. It was adopted from the audited financial statements of the listed banks in the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), for the period of the year 2006 – 2017. This study also made use of Nigerian Stock Exchange Fact Book 2017 for the Nigerian banks and CBN bulletin 2017. The method of analysis used descriptive statistics and Linear Regressions. Result reveals that NLPR (β = 0.809), CARR (β = 11.246) and LTDR (β = 6.300) have significant influence on financial performance measured by ROA. Furthermore, the result also shows that CARR (β = 17.982) and LTDR (β = 3.227) have a significant influence on financial performance measured by ROE but NLPR (β = - 1.57) has a negative influence on ROE. The study concludes that credit risk management apparatus employed by the selected banks for the periods of study have a significant influence on their financial performance. The study, therefore, recommends that regulatory authorises should implement a new code of corporate governance that bank directors with non-performing loans (NPLs) are to either quit or be sacked and also banks' boards to remove any director with insider non-performing loans.

This study analyses the impact of credit risk management on financial performance of commercial banks in Kosovo, and comparing the relationship between the determinants of credit risk management and financial performance by using CAMEL indicators. Panel data of 85 observations from 2008 to 2012 of ten commercial banks was analysed using multiple regression model. Findings through multiple regression analysis are presented in forms of tables and regression equations. The study also elaborates whether capital adequacy, asset quality, management efficiency, earnings and liquidity have strong or weak relationship with financial performance of commercial banks. The study concludes that CAMEL model can be used as a system of assessment and rating of credit risk management by commercial banks in Kosovo.

This paper examined the effects of credit risk, intellectual capital as well as credit risk moderated by intellectual capital on financial performance of fifteen listed deposit money banks in Nigeria (DMBs) from 2007 to 2016. Data were sourced from annual reports of banks and Nigerian National Bureau of Statistics and analysed using Generalised Method of Moments (GMM). The study finds that credit risk index by loan loss ratio negatively affects financial performance of the sampled banks; while capital employed efficiency, loan loss provision moderated by intellectual capital, capital adequacy ratio, income and diversification have positive relationship with banks’ financial performance. Thus, the study recommends that banks should strengthen their credit risk management culture to ensure prompt repayment of loans. The banks should operate within the required capital adequacy ratio to serve as buffer against loan loss provisions provided by the Central Bank of Nigeria. A strong credit risk management culture should be embedded within intellectual capital structure of banks, where all persons at all levels appreciate and understand the banks’ risk management policies as well as strategies and incorporate same into decision-making and business processes.
