  • Assessing the dynamics of non-performing loans and credit growth in Indonesia during COVID-19   Order a copy of this article
    by Toifsa Rosita Dewi, Tastaftiyan Risfandy, Nurazilah Zainal 
    Abstract: This research aims to analyse the impact of non-performing loans (NPLs) on credit growth in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic. We use data from 90 conventional and Islamic banks in Indonesia for the period 2020q2 to 2022q1 particularly when COVID-19 caused banks NPLs to increase significantly. We find that NPLs had significant negative effect on credit growth for both Islamic and conventional banks, meaning that high NPL levels have reduced credit growth. In addition, in this paper we also find that the negative impact of NPLs on credit growth is more severe for Islamic banks. Meanwhile, government-owned banks are also found to be better in mitigate the adverse impact of the NPLs.
    Keywords: NPLs; non-performing loans; bank lending; credit growth; COVID-19; Indonesia.

  • Dynamics of credit rationing among microfinance banks beneficiaries in Nigeria: to what extent are farmers loans rationed along gender lines   Order a copy of this article
    by Igwe Ikenna Ukoha, Innocent Uche Ojoko Nwaiwu, Maryann Nnenna Osuji, Okwudili Bismark Ibeagwa, Emeka Emmanuel Osuji 
    Abstract: The gender differentials in credit rationing by microfinance banks (MFBs) among cassava-based farmers in South-East Nigeria were deciphered in this study, while providing an in-depth understanding of the barriers prompting their credit outcomes. Multi-stage sampling was used to select 360 loan applicants, with the aid of a questionnaire using primary data, while descriptive statistics and the Multinomial logistic regression model were employed for the analysis. We observed that more male loan applicants were fully rejected their female counterparts, as indicated by a gap of 7.2%, while the female loan applicants had a higher percentage of their full loan demands met when compared to their male counterparts, as indicated by the widest gap of 20.5% along gender lines. The research suggests policy actions that will enable authorities to develop a framework that adopts gender-specific initiatives that mitigate lending inequities, highlighting the relevance of financial literacy, equitable financial services, and better banking relationships with farmers.
    Keywords: credit rationing; gender; cassava-based farmers; MFBs; microfinance banks; agricultural finance.
