The Impact of Credit Risk Management through Provisioning on the Financial Performance of Moroccan Conventional Banks
Abstract
This study aims at analyzing the impact of credit risk management, specifically the coverage of expected loss, on the financial profitability measured by ROA (Return on Assets) and ROE (Return on Equity) of Moroccan conventional banks. To verify this, we applied an econometric approach based on a panel model based on 63 observations. The results obtained from the estimation of the selected models reveal that an increase in credit risk, measured by the non-performing loan ratio (TRPI), leads to a decline in asset profitability. Meanwhile, credit risk management, measured by the provision coverage ratio concerning non-performing loans (TC) and the share of non-performing loans in the credit portfolio (TS), contributes to an improvement in ROA. However, the model results show a non-significant relationship between credit risk management and ROA.
Key words: credit risk, provisions, financial profitability.
