ABSTRACT
The aim of this paper is to study the impact of macroeconomic factors in the amount of nonperforming loans in
Albanian banking sectors by using multi regression analysis model from 1999 to 2012 and a time series
forecasting analysis for the coming decade. In this paper is studied the relationship between the amount of nonperforming loans and five important macroeconomic factors which are: Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth
rate, Inflation Rate, Money supply (M2) annual growth rate, Interest Rate and Unemployment Rate. The multi
regression analysis suggest that all the variable except Unemployment Rate have a negative impact in the nonperforming loan. Moreover the time forecasting analysis predict an increase in NPL level in Albanian Banking
System.
INTRODUCTION
The recent financial crisis has shift the interest toward the importance in studying the determinants that
may cause a banking crises. (Laeven et al., 2010). According to Demirg-Kunt et al. (1998) and
Llewellyn (2002) macroeconomic factor play a significant role in these crises. Moreover, in their studies
was implied that unfavorable economic conditions such as low or negative economic growth, high interest
and Inflation Rate impact in the deterioration of banking crisis.
One of the main reason why a banking crisis may occur is due to the fact that banks may be suffering
from liquidity problems triggered by an increase in their balance sheet of the amount of bad or
nonperforming loans (NPL). Due to this reason it is essential to study the reasons that caused this increase
of NPLs rather than studying only the cause of banking crisis. Changes in macroeconomic conditions
impact the quality of loan portfolio of banks. Favorable macroeconomic conditions are positively related
with the capability in loan repayment and a lower share of NPLs (Festi et al., 2011). The goal of this
paper is to explore how macroeconomic factors such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Inflation Rate,
Money supply growth rate, Real Interest Rate, and Unemployment Rate impact the amount of NPLs in
Albanian banking system. To study this impact is used time series data from 2003-2012 for multi
regression analysis and time series forecasting analysis.
Literature Review
Four dimensions of banking stability are: regulations, other banking and financial attributes, environment
of the institution and macroeconomic conditions (Gagani et al., 2010). Moreover, Figlewski et al. (2012)
implied that there should exist a macro factor that have a significant and broader impact on the major
part of firms creditworthiness. They classified the macroeconomic factors in three groups regarding to
their relation with:
General Macroeconomic condition such as unemployment rate, inflation, etc.
Direction in which economy is moving such as Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, etc.
Financial market conditions such as Interest Rate, stock market return rate etc.
Jimnez et al. (2006) explained that the relationship between economic cycle and exposure of bank risk is
dialectical. As economic condition of the business worsen during a recession period in economy, the risk
of intermediations tend to rise. In their study their found a negative relationship between GDP and
nonperforming loans. The same result was found also by Salas et al. (2002), Gunsel (2008) and
Thiagarajan et al. (2011). On the other hand, Fofack (2005), who studied the relationship between GPD
and credit risk in Sub Saharan Africa, and Aver (2008) who studied this relation is the Slovenian banking
system, have concluded that GPD and credit risk have no relationship with each other.
Another macroeconomic factor which affect the NPLs is also the Inflation Rate. The study of Gunsel
(2008) implies that inflation is positively related with the credit risk in Euro Zone. Moreover, Vogiazas et
al. (2011) and Zribi et al. (2011) found a negative relationship between inflation and credit risk on their
cases of Romanian and Tunisian banking system. Also, in some other studies such as of Aver (2008) in
Slovenian banking system, Bofondi et al. (2011) in Italian banking system and Castro (2013) in GIPSI i
banking system was found no relation between inflation and credit risk.
Furthermore an important macroeconomic determinant of credit risk, thus of NPLs is also the Money
supply (MS). An increase in MS will stimulate the investment and consumption and as result will increase
the income. However, this increase will lower the Interest Rates thus customers will have cheaper funds.

The relationship of MS and credit risk in Malaysia is studied by Ahmad (2003) and it is found to exist a
significant and negative relationship between them. Similar results were found by Vogiazas et al. (2011) in
Romanian banking system. The opposite results were found by Bofondi et al. (2011) in Italian banking
system and no relationship was found by Fofack (2005) in Sub Saharan Africa banking system.
Interest Rate affect the debt burden of customers, as a result having an important effect in credit risk of
banks. A rise in Interest Rate will rise the debt burden, thus will lead to an increase of the amount of
NPLs. This statement is supported by many studies. According to Cebula (1999) Real Interest Rate has a
significant negative relationship with bank failure. Fofack (2005) found a positive relationship between
Interest Rates and credit risk in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Moreover, an important of macroeconomic determinant of nonperforming loans is also unemployment in
the economy. According to many studies such as Vogiazas et al. (2011), and Bofondi et al. (2011),
unemployment is positively related with the amount of nonperforming loans. An increase in
unemployment decreases the income of individuals, thus increase their debt burden and decrease their
probabilities in paying their debts to their banks. (Louzis et al., 2012).
In this paper are studied the following hypothesis which are based on the literatures mentioned above.
H1: GDP is has a negative impact in the amount of nonperforming loans.
H2: An increase in Money Supply has a negative impact in the amount of non-performing loans.
H3: Real Interest Rate has a positive impact in the amount of nonperforming loans.
H4: Inflation Rate have a positive impact in the amount of nonperforming loans.
H5: Unemployment rate have a positive impact in the amount of nonperforming loans.
Loans in Albanian Banking System
Loan repayment continues to be a major problem in the banking system of Albania where the major of
non-performing loans are from the corporate sector. According to manual of Bank of Albania the loans
are classified in five groups:
1. Standard loans are those loans that do not have problems and are well-secured and fully guaranteed
by a third party.
2. Special mentioned loans are those loans whose borrowers position is adequate, but some possible
weaknesses in his financial position do exist and sign in delay of payments are present. Still, this
loans are not classified as problematic loans.
3. Substandard loans are those loans that are not adequately secured by the market of collateral value
and the borrowers financial position is less than satisfactory. This loans usually have a delay of
payment of 90-180 days. This is the first type of loan classified as problematic loan.
4. Doubtful loans are those loans that include all the weakness of substandard loans and also a
disclosure of a review conduct by the bank that indicates that most probably the borrow will not be
able to pay the debt, thus there is a high risk that the borrowers will be declared insolvent. This
loans have a delay in payment for more than 180-3860 days. This is the second type of problematic
loans.
5. Lost loans are the uncollectable loans. In this case the borrower has most probably filed for
bankruptcy and the loan has a delay on payment for more than 360 days.

Where,
NPL represents the ratio of bank nonperforming loans to total gross loans (%).
0 is the intercept that represents the NPL ratio when all the independent variables are equal to 0.
GDP represents Gross Domestic Product growth rate (%).
1 is the expected slope of how much the NPL ratio will change for one percent of change of Gross
Domestic Growth rate.
M2 represents the M2 growth rate in % (Money and Quasi Money supply)
2 is the expected slope of how much the NPL ratio will change for one percent of change of M2
rate.
RIR is Real Interest Rate (%).
3 is the expected slope of how much the NPL ratio will change for one percent of change of Real

The table 1 shows the beta coefficient of the macroeconomic variable included in the model. The results
indicate that all the variables except unemployment rate have a negative impact on NPL ration. Thus, an
increase in GDP growth rate, Money supply growth rate, Inflation Rate and Interest Rate will decrease
the NPL ratio, while an increase in unemployment rate will increase the NPL ratio. The highest impact
on NPL has the GDP growth rate will 1.77% followed by inflation with 1.63% and unemployment rate
with 1.46%. While Real Interest Rate and Money supply impact NPL ration respectively only by 0.59%
and 0.17%. However, all the variables are statistically not significant, which shows that the relation
between each individual variable and NPL ratio is not significant. The most significant variable in the
model is unemployment rate with a p-value of 0.1209. Moreover, R2 is equal to 0.51%, thus the
macroeconomic variables explains only the 51% of NPL ratio. As result other studies that included nonmacroeconomic factors or more data should be conducted.
Forecasting Analysis
In this paper is conduct also a forecasting analysis in order to forecast all the variables values use in
regression analysis from 1999 to 2020. The historical data are from 1999 to 2012. The forecasting model
had three components: the seasonal component, the irregular component and the trend component.
Moreover, all the year have a respective code shown in column t such as 2003 has the code 1, 2004 has
the code 2 as so on till 2020 which has the code 3.
Eq. 3
V=St Ti It
Central moving average calculates the three consecutive V values. Then V values are divided by the CMA
in order to extract the seasonal and irregular component from the variables data. The seasonal and
irregular component (St It) is the average of CMA and is call SI. V is calculated by dividing V value by
(St It) and it shows the values of V without seasonal and irregular components.

To calculate the trend component is conducted a multi regression analysis for the year 2003 to 2012
between t values which represent the independent variable and SI values which represent the dependent
variable. Trend component (Tt) is equal to the predicted SI
SI= 0 +1 t
Tt = SI
Eq. 7
Eq. 8
Lastly the V values are forecast for the year 2013 to 2022 which are equal to the product of all
components together (See equation 1 and 2). The figures below show the results of the forecasting
analysis.
Figure 7: Non-performing loans level in past, present and also projected in future

According to figure 7, the NPL level will continue to increase, meaning that the problematic loans in
Albanian banking system will increase in number, thus the credit risk of the bank and the situation of
financial intermediaries in Albania will worse.

GDP growth rate is predicted to decrease to 2.3% in 2013 and 2% in 2014 while in 2020 it is predicted
to reach the negative values of -0.33% and worsening to -1.01% in 2022 (Figure 8). According to the
regression model results this significant decrease will cause an increase on NPL ratio by 1.77% for each
percentage change. GDP growth rate has also the highest impact on NPL ratio according to the model,
thus this substantial decrease will significamtelly increase the NPL ratio by around 4.78%.

Also Money and Quasi Money growth rate face a 1.82% increase in 2013 from 4.98% in 2012 followed
by a long-time decrease (Figure 9). It is predicted that in 2022 it will reach to 0.83%. According to the
regression model results this decrease will cause an increase on NPL ratio by 1.59% for each percentage
change. M2 growth rate has the second smallest impact in NPL ratio. However, the predicted decrease of
more than 4% will cause of at least 2.36% increase of NPL ratio in the next 10 year if not offered by
other factors or regulatory policies.
Figure 10: Real Interest Rate in past, present and also projected in future

According to the forecasting analysis the Real Interest Rate will decrease also. It will reach the level of 6.59
in 2013, 3.71 in 2018 and 1.41 in 2022 (Figure 10). According to the regression model results decrease
will cause an increase on NPL ratio by 0.17% for each percentage change. This variable has the lowest
impact in NPL ration according to the regression model and its decrease will increase the NPL ratio by
less than 1%. However, together will other variable its impact may be significant.

The Inflation Rate is predicted to increase in the next 10 year by only 2.5%. In 2013, 2018, 2022 it will
reach respect the level of 3.28%, 3.72% and 4.08% (Figure 11). According to the regression model results
indicate that this increase will cause a decrease on NPL ratio by 1.63% for each percentage change.
Although, that the Inflation Rate has the second most highest impact in NPL ratio for each percentage
change, Inflation Rate increase not only is very low but also its impact is offset by the substantial decrease
of GDP and also the decrease of Money supply and Real Interest Rate.
Also the unemployment is predicted to have a lowering effect on NPL ration in the next 10 years (Figure
12) The unemployment is predicted to just decrease by 5% in the next 10 years, thus decreasing the by
around 7.45%.

According to the regression and forecasting analysis the variable that will impact negatively in the NPL
ratio, thus lowering it in the next 10 year, are unemployment and Inflation Rates. It is predicted that they
will lower the ratio by around 11.5%. Moreover, the variable that will have a positive effect on NPL ratio,
thus increasing it, are the GDP growth rate, Inflation Rate and Interest Rate. Together they are predicted
to increase the ratio by approximately 8%. As concluded also in the regression analysis the fact that there
is an overall 1.5% negative impact in NPL ratio while it is predicted to increase significantly indicates that
there are other significant non macroeconomic variable that should be studied.

CONCLUSIONS
The recent financial crisis have revealed a need in analyzing the problems that caused the crisis in
financing market in order to prevent future crisis. Nevertheless, before analyzing the triggers of the crisis,
it is important to analyze the credit risk of banks and its factors that affect it. Before crisis burst, many
banks suffer liquidity problems. Thus, the origin of the crisis is understood by analyzing credit risk and
the situation of nonperforming loans.
This paper analysis the macroeconomic variables impact in the level of non-performing loans in Albanian
banking system. This level in 2012 was 22.5% and if not carefully managed it may causes major problems
in the second level banks. To analyze the impacted of the macroeconomic variable is conduct a multi
regression and time series forecasting analysis. This study found that the NPL level is not significantly
effect by any of the variable at significance level of 0.05%, while at significance level of 0.1% only Money
supply has a significant impact.
From the multi regression analysis it can be concluded that hypothesis one, two and five hold. These
hypothesis predicted that GDP growth rate and Money Supply growth rate have a negative impact on
nonperforming loans while Unemployment Rate has a positive impact in non-performing loans in
Albanian banking system. On the other hand the hypothesis three and four do not hold. The hypothesis
three predicted that Real Interest Rate and Inflation Rate have positive impact in non-performing loans in
Albania, but the model predicted the opposite. Moreover, the time series analysis forecast that the
nonperforming loans and inflation rate will increase while the GDP growth rate, Money Supply growth
rate, Real Interest Rate and Unemployment Rate will decrease. Both the results of the analysis indicate an
insignificant impact of variable in the NPL ratio. Thus, other non-macroeconomic determinants should
be analyses in oder to understand better the tendency of NPL ration and take actions accordingly.
The results can be beneficial to banks that operate in the Albanian banking system and to other financial
institutions that operate in Albania. Due to the fact that this is the first study that covers this matter, thus
are having implications for regulator, managers and policymaker. Also a beneficial of this study is that it
covers the period of the latest financial crisis of 2008.
