Abstract

According to the ECB, the Texas ratio represents a key performance indicator that shows the dependency between the NPLs and the level of bank capitalisation. Using a sample of twelve Italian listed banks, we disentangle the main drivers of the Texas ratio and evaluate its impact on profitability, probability of default and price-to-book value. Our findings question the overall effectiveness of the restructuring measures undertaken by both supervisory and regulatory authorities to cope with the NPLs' issue.
