Bank Efficiency and Non-Performing Loans: Evidence from Malaysia and Singapore

Abstract: Abstract:The objective of this paper is to investigate the relationship between non-performing loans and bank effi ciency in Malaysia and Singapore. To achieve the objective, cost effi ciency was estimated using the stochastic cost frontier approach assuming normal-gamma effi ciency distribution model proposed by Greene (1990). The cost effi ciency scores were then used in the second stage Tobit simultaneous equation regression to determine the effect of non-performing loans on bank effi ciency. The results in… Show more

“…Implementation of good corporate governance (GCG) may lead to improved quality of financing given by a bank and may result in reduced NPF. Poor GCG indicates poor management and poor management leads to low credit quality (Karim, Chan, & Hassan, 2010). Reduced NPF may lead to improved profit-sharing income from distributed financing and reduce allowance for bad debt.…”

“…The novelty of this research is that the researcher used more comprehensive GCG measurement (as a complement to the GCG mechanism). The reason is that poor GCG implementation indicates poor management, bad management causes low credit quality (Karim, Chan, & Hassan, 2010). Moreover, the researcher would develop new variables that were supposed to be able to affect NPF, namely the temporary syirkah fund ratio (TSFR) variable.…”

“…Many scholars argue that asset quality measured by the ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans have significant negative impact on bank efficiency. High NPL ratio reveals inadequate credit policy and poor evaluation and monitoring process (Karim et al, 2010;Hughes and Mester, 1993;Altunbas et al, 2000;Girardone et al, 2004).…”

“…It will cause the commercial bank to be in trouble if the cases of NPL are getting more because it affects the performances of the bank if the bank has lots of NPL cases, which means lots of debtors are unable to pay back the debts. Besides, the bank will have a lower cost efficiency if the bank has severe NPL problems (Karim, Chan and Hassan, 2010). As a result, a commercial bank shall reserve a specific amount of the profits for loan loss provision to ensure and defend their different kinds of situations.…”
