Note(s): Banks' size classification: (1) 5 larger groups are banks belonging to the five larger groups; (2) Large banks with intermediated funds greater than 21.5 billion euros; (3) small banks with intermediated funds between 3.6 and 21.5 billion euros; mutual banks (BCC) with intermediated funds less than 3.6 billion euros. NPLs split up into: (1) the best practice NPLs (i.e. the minimum level of NPLs in the case of complete efficiency); (2) “fortune/misfortune” (i.e. the statistical noise) and (3) the excess NPLs tied to actual inefficiency in the management of the credit process
