It highlights that high nonperforming loans (NPLs) are constraining credit growth, and weak external drivers are preventing a sustained reduction in external imbalances. Reduction in NPLs would safeguard financial stability and help release credit supply constraints by lowering bank risk aversion. The authorities have requested a three-year arrangement with proposed access equivalent to SDR 295.42 million.IMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;No. 2014/078Fiscal policyAlbaniaMonetary policyAlbaniaEconomic indicatorsAlbaniaBanks and BankingimfExports and ImportsimfMacroeconomicsimfPublic FinanceimfIndustries: Financial ServicesimfStatisticsimfBanksimfDepository InstitutionsimfMicro Finance InstitutionsimfMortgagesimfDebtimfDebt ManagementimfSovereign DebtimfInternational Lending and Debt ProblemsimfGeneral Aggregative Models: GeneralimfTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: GeneralimfData Collection and Data Estimation MethodologyimfComputer Programs: OtherimfPublic finance & taxationimfFinanceimfInternational economicsimfBankingimfEconometrics & economic statisticsimfPublic debtimfArrearsimfNonperforming loansimfLoansimfExternal debtimfFinancial institutionsimfDebts, PublicimfDebts, ExternalimfBanks and bankingimfNational incomeimfAlbaniaEconomic conditionsAlbaniaimfFiscal policyMonetary policyEconomic indicatorsBanks and BankingExports and ImportsMacroeconomicsPublic FinanceIndustries: Financial ServicesStatisticsBanksDepository InstitutionsMicro Finance InstitutionsMortgagesDebtDebt ManagementSovereign DebtInternational Lending and Debt ProblemsGeneral Aggregative Models: GeneralTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: GeneralData Collection and Data Estimation MethodologyComputer Programs: OtherPublic finance & taxationFinanceInternational economicsBankingEconometrics & economic statisticsPublic debtArrearsNonperforming loansLoansExternal debtFinancial institutionsDebts, PublicDebts, ExternalBanks and bankingNational income332.152International Monetary Fund.European Department,DcWaIMFBOOK9910817916403321Albania58018UNINA
