Abstract

The main aim of the paper is to evaluate the influence of credit risk management practices on loan performance (LP) while taking the credit terms and policy (CTP), client appraisal, collection policy (CP) and credit risk control (CRC) as the dimensions of the credit risk management practices. For statistical evaluation, the primary data in cross sectional form has been taken into consideration. The data is collected from the managerial level credit risk management staff of microfinance banking sector. Multiple regression analysis has been used for empirical relationship evaluation of the credit risk management practices on the performance of loan. The results of the analysis are showing that the credit terms and client appraisal have positive and significant impact on the LP, while the CP and CRC have positive but insignificant impact on LP. The study is helpful for the management to enhance the LP by focusing on the dimension of the credit risk management practices used in the study. Future aspects of the research have also been taken into account and elaborated.
