This report analyzes Asia's nonperforming loan (NPL) and resolution landscape and assesses the pressures facing asset management companies as the region looks to tackle structural challenges and boost financial stability.

Based on surveys and interviews, the initiative between ADB and the International Public Asset Management Companies Forum (IPAF) shows NPLs fell in 2024 but are tipped to grow through 2027 due to rising credit stress in real estate and other sectors. The report assesses divergent national strategies, and shows how greater digitalization, data transparency, and secondary market liquidity, alongside stronger legal frameworks would result in a more resilient regional NPL ecosystem.
