The Financial Supervisory Commission (the FSC) has released that total outstanding loans extended by the current 37 domestic banks increased by NT$106.9 billion (US$3.47billion) as compared to the figure of previous month and amounted to NT$28.91 trillion (US$937.88 billion) at the end of March 2019. Meanwhile, the NPLs of these banks totaled at NT$73.1 billion (US$2.37 billion) which increased by NT$0.3billion (US$9.73 million) from NT$72.8 billion (US$2.36 billion) as of the end of previous month.
The average NPL ratio of the 37 banks remained at 0.25% compared to previous month, and was down by 0.02 percentage points compared to the same month last year. The coverage ratio of allowances for NPLs stood at 549.68%. While the ratio decreased by 3.44 percentage points from 553.12% of the previous month, it still remained stable at a higher level.
The asset quality of domestic banks continuously remained manageable according to the above figures as of the end of March 2019. The FSC will request those banks with higher NPL ratios to undertake measures to improve asset quality and financial structure on an ongoing basis.
