Next webcast
Due to rising NPL rates as well as overworked workout departments the pressure on banks and risk management is increasing. While many institutions still rely heavily on internal resources, the structured sale of credit portfolios, professionalization of receivables management as well as the deployment of AI and automation are emerging as powerful levers to relieve operational pressure.

Credit Risks on the Rise – Alternatives to Conventional Workout Strategies are Needed
The growing volume of non-performing loans is becoming an increasingly significant challenge for banks across Germany. Recent data from the EBA confirms a continuous rise in Stage 2 and Stage 3 loans. As highlighted in our latest NPL Marketbeat 2025 study, most senior executives at German financial institutions expect this trend to continue. At the same time, many banks’ workout departments are already reaching their capacity limits. The result: unsystematic case handling, leaving value recovery potential untapped.
In our upcoming webcast, our experts will present the study’s findings and discuss strategies banks can use to manage the increasing pressure on workout, collections, and dunning departments—while also improving profitability. Look forward to practical insights, thought-provoking discussions, and actionable strategies to help your institution prepare for rising credit risks.
Speakers: Bianca Santillana, Christoph Roessle
About the webcast series
Dive into the latest trends that shape the European banking landscape. Inspired by Deloitte’s European Banking Trend Radar, our webcast series covers trends from a universal range of topics that we divide into six dimensions:
- Clients
- ESG
- Regulatory and Political
- Economics and Financial Markets
- Technology
- Company Organization
From crypto assets to fraud by generative AI, we carefully select one trend per episode that is discussed in detail by our Deloitte experts who share their knowledge and insights to help banks get an in-depth understanding on the topic and its impact on the financial industry. Using trend research, banks can analyze the most pressing market developments and act before a trend reaches maturity.
In a dynamic world that keeps changing faster and faster, a timely reaction to emerging developments is more important than ever before. Those who miss critical trends run the risk of falling behind and losing business. By contrast, firms that react swiftly have the opportunity to seize an unparalleled competitive advantage over their peers. To be successful, banks must screen for trends, evaluate their impact on all affected business units, map out scenarios and strategic plans, and allocate appropriate resources. This way, they can take advantage of not just positive developments but also shield themselves from harm by potential threats. From trend detection to the implementation of strategic decisions, Deloitte is using Trend Radar as a tool to assist clients throughout all stages of this process.
