About this ranking

Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total gross loans. A loan is nonperforming when it is at least 90 days overdue or is unlikely to be repaid in full without realizing collateral.

Compiled by WDI from IMF Financial Soundness Indicators. Reporting methods can differ across countries and years. The latest year varies by country, and missing World values remain absent.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the countries are compared on one definition. 12 countries with data in other periods have no value for 2016 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
