Non-performing loans represent an element of fragility for the Italian banking sector and, at the same time, a promising type of investment for specialist intermediaries. Authorities have at times called for the problem to be “made safe” by selling off packages of non-performing loans, with serious potential repercussions on the profit and loss account and on the capitalization of banks.
At the same time there is still significant attention being paid to regulatory innovations which could make the collection process quicker and more efficient, with positive effects for the fair value of receivables under litigation. The market for the selling of bad debts appears lively from a quantitative and qualitative point of view (including thanks to innovative solutions of financial engineering based on tranching and public guarantee mechanisms), but price levels still strongly penalize sellers.
The theme of the conference, held in Milan on February 2, 2017, was the search for a virtuous interaction between new rules, supervisory policies and market players to help deal with the issue of non-performing loans without making it worse. The intention was to generate responses by bringing together policy makers, authorities and industry operators, including through greater attention to collection processes and the improvement of doubtful loans, and to the investment in reporting tools and data quality to support the necessary management actions.
