Increasing regulatory pressure is driving banks to redefine their core businesses and search for capital.
Deloitte can assist with identifying ways to maximise value from non-core assets through deleveraging, rigorous planning and asset management. Entering the loan portfolio transactions market is a key tool in any deleveraging program, providing a rapid source of capital raising.
Banks face the enormous task of cleaning up their balance sheets and are under increased pressure from regulators and the market to demonstrate how they comply with stricter regulatory requirements. The challenge is to find ways to improve capital levels to meet this demand. This is driving banks to redefine their core business and pursue deleveraging strategies.
The European Central Bank has sent clear signals that banks need to prioritise reduction of non-performing loans and start focusing on future lending. Non-performing loans are a significant drag on a bank’s overall performance, both financially and operationally and selling these types of assets becomes a good option to not only improve capital positions, but allow banks to resume normalised lending levels which has a direct, positive effect on the wider economy.
We advise holders, sellers and buyers of non-core assets and under-performing loan portfolios in deleveraging, portfolio management and investment strategies.
