Abstract

To examine the impact of the selected bank-specific variables on credit risk of conventional and Islamic banks of Pakistan is the main objective of this study. The investigation of the chosen Islamic and conventional banks is done for the period 2007-2015. These banks are chosen based on their value commitment. Panel data regression, Z-score and NPL ratio are applied to discover the connection between the factors of the chosen banks. The results show that bank-specific factors such as efficiency, ROE and ROA have a significant relationship with credit risk in case of conventional banking system. In case of Islamic banking system, efficiency and solvency have a significant relationship with credit risk. Bank size has no significant influence on credit risk. Additionally, the overall Z-score for conventional banks is less than that of Islamic banks, i.e., the more prominent the value, the lower will be the credit risk. Further, the extended probability of bank obligation demonstrates high NPL proportion.
