Abstract: The economic recovery and the expected rise in interest rates are stimulating demand for corporate loans. The quality of the aggregate portfolio of corporate loans is improving: the average level of past-due debt is gradually decreasing; the level of profitability is moving up. At the same time, the increased banks’ propensity to risk amid ongoing macroeconomic turbulence requires increased attention of the regulator to the quality of the banks’ corporate portfolio and the adequacy of bank risk management.
