Abstract
This paper provides empirical evidence on the determinants of credit risk in the Romanian banking system over the period December 2001 to November 2010 by employing the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach to cointegration. This approach allows us to investigate both the long-run and the short-run determinants of credit risk and has only recently been employed in the relevant literature. Empirical findings indicate that bank specific factors (credit growth) as well as macroeconomic activity factors (money supply and unemployment) all have a significant impact on Romania’s credit risk both in the short and in the long-run. Furthermore, the findings strongly support our hypothesis that the Greek crisis has a significant impact on Romanian non-performing loans.
