Bruegel Event Recordings

On 6 July we held an event on non-performing loans. This event is jointly organised with European Economy - Banks Regulation and the Real Sector and SWP-Berlin. Panellists discussed the pros and cons of the foremost proposals put forward by several institutions and scholars on how to reduce the weight of impaired assets in banks’ balance sheet. The European- and national regulatory authorities are concerned about the repercussions of the growing impaired assets and their consequences on financial stability in the near future. The issue of European Economy – Banks, Regulation and the Real Sector (issue 2017.1), that was launched on this occasion, presents the main exit strategies from non-performing loans on the table and discusses their viability.
