Abstract: The study analyses the available literature on credit risk management using bibliometric approach over 23 years. The data is retrieved from Scopus database using the keywords ('credit risk management' AND 'profitability' OR 'financial performance' AND 'banks') OR ('credit risk management' AND 'profitability' OR 'financial performance'). The result shows a remarkable rise in the publications on credit risk management in the past five years covered in this study (i.e., 2017-2021). Malaysia published a significant number of publications and the research work from the USA received maximum citations. Professor Weber O. is considered as the most prolific author based on the highest number of publications produced. Journal Business Strategy and the Environment is found as the most productive journal. Moreover, the findings of the current study will serve as a reference point for those countries, which contribute less besides encouraging them to conduct research on credit risk management.
