Total outstanding loans extended by the current 38 domestic banks increased by NT$119.2billion (US$3.96billion) as compared to the number of previous month and amounted to NT$26,423.7 billion (US$877.81 billion) at the end of May 2017.  Meanwhile, the NPLs of these banks totaled at NT$80.8 billion (US$2.68 billion) which increased by NT$0.4billion (US$0.01billion) from NT$80.4 billion (US$2.67billion) as of the end of the previous month.
The average NPL ratio of the 38 banks remanded 0.31% as same as the previous month.  The coverage ratios of allowances for NPLs increased by 0.56 percentage points and therefore rose to a figure of 440.30% from 439.74% of the previous month.
The asset quality of domestic banks continuously remained manageable according to the above figures as of the end of May 2017.  The Financial Supervisory Commission will request those banks with higher NPL ratios to undertake measures to improve asset quality and financial structure on an ongoing basis.
