Part one: The NPL market and Deloitte perspectives for 2024



Steady growth amidst uncertainty
While France's economy shows stability and modest growth, rising corporate bankruptcies and household over-indebtedness highlight potential credit risk in the near term.
 

Resilience under credit strain
Despite strong capital buffers, French banks face mounting pressures from rising NPL volumes and growing credit risks, especially in SME and consumer segments.
 

Growing transactions, evolving strategies
While transaction volumes increase, mounting regulatory pressure and fluctuating capacity challenge banks and investors to adapt to shifting market dynamics.
 

Shaping the future of NPL management
Ongoing regulatory reforms, including the Credit Servicers Directive, continue to reshape the French NPL market, driving greater transparency and alignment with EU standards.

Optimism amidst evolving challenges
While most investors and banks foresee rising NPL sales, market hurdles like pricing gaps and limited servicing capacity continue to shape transaction dynamics.
