Defaulted and problem loans<br />

The supervisory regulations of the Bank of Italy relating to problem loans identify the following categories:<br />

• restructured loans (crediti ristrutturati);<br />

• loans subject to country risk (crediti soggetti a rischio paese);<br />

• impaired loans (partite incagliate);<br />

• bad and doubtful loans (crediti in sofferenza); and<br />

• loans past due (esposizioni scadute e/o sconfinanti).<br />

Restructured loans<br />

These are loans for which a bank (or a pool of banks) agrees to amend the original contractual terms and<br />

conditions, due to deterioration in the debtor's financial and economic conditions, giving rise to a loss.<br />

Loans subject to country risk<br />

"Country risk" relates to problems of solvency in countries where there are difficulties surrounding the service of<br />

debt. There are seven categories of risk. Italian banks must monitor the percentage of devaluation (0–15–20–25–<br />

30–40–60 per cent.) which has to be applied to loans in each of these categories which are not specifically<br />

guaranteed against political or economic risk. Italian banks must report monthly to the Bank of Italy on their<br />

positions for each country.<br />

Impaired loans<br />

Pursuant to guidelines established by the Bank of Italy, banks must classify a loan as an "impaired loan" if they<br />

determine that the borrower is experiencing financial or economic difficulties that are likely to be temporary.<br />

Bad loans<br />

Bad loans are loans in relation to which the relevant borrower is in a state of insolvency (whether or not<br />

insolvency proceedings have been commenced). A subjective test is used by the relevant lending bank to<br />

determine whether the borrower is in a state of insolvency.<br />

Loans past due<br />

Loans past due include loans in respect of which repayment is in arrears:<br />

• for more than 180 continuous days in the case of retail loans or public sector loans granted to subjects<br />

resident or having head office in Italy<br />

• for more than 180 continuous days, up to 31.12.2011, in the case of corporate loans granted to subjects<br />

resident or having head office in Italy<br />

• for more than 90 continuous days for other loans<br />

for an amount equal or higher than 5 per cent. of the total exposure<br />
