Title:  Banks: deterioration of assets quality and earnings reduction
Abstract:  In 2015, deterioration of bank assets quality and reduction of profitability obtained from net operating income have led to a drastic fall of bank earnings. This deprived the banking sector of the main source of capital base replenishment while capital adequacy level was close to a critical point. Up to the end of summer 2015, bank capital growth was mainly true of major banks. As a result, while the banking sector was increasing capital base
the significant number of banks still operated with insufficient bank stock to sustain further deterioration of assets quality without the additional support.
