The NBU also clarifies that the ratio of non-performing loans to the loan portfolio of state-owned banks over the month decreased by 0.36 percentage points, to 70.18%, foreign banking groups by 1.88 percentage points, to 43.42%, banks with private capital by 0.35 percentage points, to 24.21%, insolvent banks by 0.22 percentage points, to 58.44%.

The share of problem assets in the banking system, including off-balance liabilities as of December 1, was 29.24%, which is 0.22 percentage points more than a month earlier. At the same time, the total volume of such assets in November decreased by 2.16%, to UAH 2.104 trillion.

From March 2017 the National Bank launched monthly statistics on non-performing (default) loans, formed on the basis of requirements of resolution on credit risk assessment No. 351 of June 30, 2016. The resolution, in particular, defines a "non-performing asset/loan" as close as possible to the generally accepted concept of "non-performing exposures/loans" (NPE/NPL) in the world practice.
