As the first step after receiving a new NPL, the workout team should ensure collection of all relevant and necessary information on the borrower’s loan and financial details to enable the selection of an appropriate workout plan. The Corporate/MSME team should ensure that the file is transferred with all necessary documentation and a case update summary is attached. In the best-case scenario, the bank should aim at achieving a consensual solution that satisfies the interests of both parties and results in a successful restructuring. Adopting such perspective implies not only a self-assessment of the bank’s options and legal position but also an analysis of the existing options and situation for the borrower. A comprehensive approach requires a thorough preparation process on both sides, which, if done properly, will maximize the chances of achieving a successful and mutually beneficial solution. All work out exercises should adhere to principles of restructuring outlined in Appendix 3 of this document and abide by Section 5 of the “Rules on the Management of Problem Loans”.
On the bank’s side, a thorough preparation includes:
i.
Gathering all relevant information available on the borrower;
ii.
Perform a thorough review of the borrower’s historical financials, business viability, business plan and forecast loan service capacity.
iii.
Accurately assessing the value of the collateral securing the loan; and
iv.
Conducting a detailed analysis of the bank’s legal position.
These aspects are further explained in the sections below.
