8、rparties, poor portfolio risk management, or a lack of attention to changes in economic or other circumstances that can lead to a deterioration in the credit standing of a bank’s counterparties. This experience is co

10、uding in the banking book and in the trading book, and both on and off the balance sheet. Banks are increasingly facing credit risk (or counterparty risk) in various financial instruments other than loans, including

11、acceptances, interbank transactions, trade financing, foreign exchange transactions, financial futures, swaps, bonds, equities, options, and in the extension of commitments and guarantees, and the settlement of trans

16、 Obiero, (2002) found out that in the period running from 1984 – 2002, out of the 39 banks that had gone under during this period, 37.8% were mainly as a result of weak credit underwriting that effectively lead to bl

17、oated NPLs that in turn lead to loss of depositors funds and effective loss of investors and shareholders funds. The period from August 2015 to April 2016 witnessed 3 commercial banks in Kenya out of the 43 licensed

18、commercial banks representing 6.98% were either placed under statutory management or liquidation processes instituted. Amongst other reasons for their going under, poor credit decision making was cited that effective

20、average of 10.3%. This is against the industry recommended average of 4%. As per the CBK quarterly review, poor credit underwriting was cited which was influenced by the aggressive objective of the various industry p

22、ablishing the credit risk management used by commercial banks and how they affect performance of the commercial banks. This research study is motivated to bridge the gap by investigating credit risk management strat

24、tries, including Kenya. Effective credit risk management system minimizes the credit risk, hence the level of loan losses. 2.1 Theoretical Review 2.1.1. Liquidity Theory of Credit. This theory, first proposed by (Emery

25、, 2009), proposes that credit rationed firms use more trade credit than those with normal access to financial institutions. The central point of this notion is that when a firm is financially inhibited the offer of t

26、rade credit can make up for the decline of credit offer from lending institutions. In accord with this view, those firms presenting good liquidity or better access to capital markets can finance those that are credit

27、 rationed. Several methodologies have tried to obtain empirical confirmation in order to support this assumption. Nielsen (2012), using small firms as proxy for credit rationed firms, firms find that when there is li
