The bank's goal in the resolution process should be to reduce non-performing assets as early as possible, in order to: 
 
i.Free up coinage and capital for new lending;
 
ii.Reduce the bank's losses, and return assets to earning status, if possible;
 
iii.Generate good habits and a payment culture among borrowers; and
 
iv.Help maintain a commercial relationship with the borrower by conducting a responsible resolution process. To ensure that the goal is met, each bank should have a comprehensive, written strategy for management of the overall NPL portfolio, supported by time-bound action plans for each significant asset class. The bank must also put in place and maintain adequate institutional arrangements for implementing the strategy.
