Soured-loan ratio dips below last year's peak

Manila Bulletin

January 19, 2026

Philippine banks saw their bad-loan ratio edge lower in November last year as sustained cycle of monetary easing and reduced reserve requirements bolstered the ability of borrowers to service their debt.

- Derco Rosal

Latest data from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) showed that the banking industry's nonperforming loan ratio improved to 3.32 percent from 3.33 percent in October.

The end-November figure remains significantly below the 2025 peak of 3.5 percent and the 3.54 percent recorded in the same month a year earlier.

While the percentage of sour loans moderated, the nominal value of nonperforming assets rose 1.5 percent month-on-month to P544.9 billion. On an annual basis, bad loans increased 4.7 percent from P520.5 billion.
