In this paper, we present some evidence of macroeconomic indicators affecting the NPL ratio in Hungary and Poland.

In addition, increasing depreciation of nominal exchange rates accelerated the NPL ratio in Hungary as well in Poland.Društvo ekonomistov Maribor20082015-07-10 18:07:34Delo ni kategorizirano52670sl
