The key finding from the analysis indicates that arrears accumulation adversely affects banking sector stability, but with institutional quality, the effect is reduced. As a result, public policy should aim at clearing arrears and improving the quality of institutions. </p>","PeriodicalId":45363,"journal":{"name":"Eastern Economic Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138503151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
