Credit risk: managing through the pandemic

Public support measures and crisis response policies kept bankruptcies at bay during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. But there is still no clarity about the longer-term impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the credit quality of banks’ loan portfolios. Is today’s credit risk management adequate to deal with tomorrow’s challenges? Are investors confident that the worst is behind us? Have supervisors monitored banks closely enough or is there another shoe to drop?
