The NPL ratio of SMEs has increased from 3.5 percent in 2015 to 4.5 percent at end-2018 and it is
particularly high in the construction sector (but remains below the levels seen ten years ago). Given
the strong
capital position of banks, the vulnerabilities that are emerging
in SMEs are unlikely to
have a significant impact on the stability of the banking system (¶8 and 9).

FINANCIAL SECTOR STABILITY AND RESILIENCE
6. The analysis of resilience is linked to four major macrofinancial risks that might
challenge the solvency or liquidity of the banking system (Risk Assessment Matrix (RAM),
Table 5). These are: (i) weaker-than expected global growth in key advanced economies and in
China, (ii) sharp rise in risk premia, (iii) entrenched low inflation, and (iv) debt overhang. In
addition,
should political uncertainty emerge and lead to a crisis of
confidence, equity prices
could collapse,
the exchange rate could
depreciate sharply, and funding pressures could arise. The FSAP team
assessed the resilience of the banking system and investment funds (IFs) and conducted some basic
risk analysis of SFIs under a battery of stress tests (Appendix II).
