According to the ECB, the Texas ratio represents a key performance indicator that shows the dependency between the NPLs and the level of bank capitalisation. Using a sample of twelve Italian listed banks, we disentangle the main drivers of the Texas ratio and evaluate its impact on profitability, probability of default and price-to-book value. Our findings question the overall effectiveness of the restructuring measures undertaken by both supervisory and regulatory authorities to cope with the NPLs’ issue.

Abstract
According to the ECB, the Texas ratio represents a key performance indicator that shows the dependency between the NPLs and the level of bank capitalisation. Using a sample of twelve Italian listed banks, we disentangle the main drivers of the Texas ratio and evaluate its impact on profitability, probability of default and price-to-book value. Our findings question the overall effectiveness of the restructuring measures undertaken by both supervisory and regulatory authorities to cope with the NPLs’ issue.File in questo prodotto:
