1. Background
Credit is a financial arrangement in which a lender provides money, goods, or services to
a borrower with the promise of future repayment, often with interest. Credit is the trust
which allows one party to provide loan or resources to another party, whereas the second
party does not reimburse the second party immediately but agrees to repay or return those
resources in future date. It plays crucial role in an economic growth by enabling
investment Business Expansion and consumer expansion. Commercial banks act as
intermediaries, mobilizing deposits from the public and channeling them into productive
sectors through credit issuance. Credit involves the agreement by a creditor to lend money
or resources to a debtor under certain conditions, with the expectation of repayment and
compensation in the form of interest (A.Barealey, 2016)
Credit management is the key function of the bank (and other financial institution,
including insurer and institutional investor) with large multifaceted portfolios of credit,
often including liquid loans. It involves evaluating borrowers' repayment capacity, setting
appropriate credit terms, and implementing risk mitigation strategies such as
collateralization and loan diversification. Credit risk management practices and credit risk
mitigation measures have a positive relationship with loan repayment, while obstacles
faced by borrowers have no significant relationship with loan repayment (Pradhan, S., &
Shah, A. K. ,2019). One of the key components of credit management is credit risk
management, which focuses on identifying, assessing, and controlling the risks associated
with lending. Commercial banks also employ techniques such as periodic loan reviews,
stress testing, and debt recovery mechanisms to manage credit risk. Among all the
activities credit provision is main product which bank provides to the potential business
entrepreneur as a main source of income.
Global IME Bank Ltd. is a leading commercial bank in Nepal, committed to financial
inclusion and excellence in banking services, aligning with its vision of being ‘The Bank
for all’. Global IME Bank Limited began its journey as Global Bank limited in 2007 as a
'Class A' commercial bank after receiving approval from Nepal Rastra Bank. In 2012, it
merged with the former IME Financial Institution Limited and Lord Buddha Finance
Limited, subsequently rebranding and operating as Global IME Bank Limited.
The bank was established with the largest capital base at the time with paid-up capital of
NPR 1.0 billion. The paid-up capital of the bank has since been increased to NPR 36.13
billion. The bank’s shares are publicly traded as an “A” category company in the Nepal
Stock Exchange (Global IME Bank Limited (2010/11 to 2017/18).

2. Statement of Problem
In today’s financial landscape, banks and financial institutions face growing challenges in
credit management due to economic uncertainties, rising inflation, fluctuating interest
rates, and stricter regulatory requirements. The increasing number of non-performing
loans (NPLs), liquidity shortages, and weak risk assessment models threaten financial
stability and profitability. Many banks struggle with loan recovery as borrowers face
financial difficulties, highlighting the need for more effective credit policies. This study
analyzes the credit management practices of Global IME Bank Ltd , identifying key
challenges, evaluating the effectiveness of existing credit policies, and exploring
strategies to minimize credit risks while ensuring sustainable financial performance.
3. Research Question
Research question typically address what, why or how certain phenomena occur or relate
to each other and they help the structure the research process by delineating the scope and
objectives of the study. The research question of the study are as follow:
What are the various type of loan provided by Global IME Bank Ltd?
How is the relationship between various types of loan and non- performing loan
of Global IME bank Ltd?
4. Objective
The primary focus of this study is to examine the credit management practices of Global
IME Bank, with a particular emphasis on the types of loans it offers and their impact on
non-performing loans (NPLs). Understanding the variety of loans provided by the bank is
essential to assess how credit is allocated across different sectors and customer segments.
Additionally, analyzing the relationship between these loan types and NPLs will help
determine potential risk factors and the effectiveness of the bank’s credit management
strategies. Based on this, the study aims to achieve the following objectives:
To identify various types of loan provided by Global IME Bank Ltd.
To analyze the different types of loan and non-performing loan of Global IME
Bank Ltd.
5. Rationale
The rationale behind credit management lies in its vital role in ensuring financial
stability, minimizing risks, and maximizing profitability for banks. Effective credit
management helps control non-performing loans (NPLs), which, if not managed properly,
can reduce liquidity and erode profits. In Nepal, rising NPLs have become a concern for
commercial banks like Global IME Bank, impacting their operational
3
efficiency and earnings. Since the bank provides various loan products to individuals and
businesses, understanding how these loans contribute to NPLs is essential for improving
credit policies and maintaining financial health. This study aims to identify the types of
loans offered by the bank and analyze their relationship with NPLs, providing insights
that can help enhance credit management strategies, reduce risks, and improve long-term
profitability.
6. Literature review
A literature review serves as a means to explore what previous researchers have
discovered in the area of the problem being studied, while also ensuring that issues that
have already been thoroughly addressed are not investigated again. For this report, the
researcher draws on a variety of sources, including books, reports, and scholarly
opinions, to gain a deeper understanding and provide clarity on the study's objectives.
This process helps in forming a clear framework for the research, avoiding redundancy,
and building on the existing body of knowledge.
Agrawal (2005) states that field work assignment and report writing" provides practical
guidance to the field work and report writing. This is the basic guide book for this field
work. This book provides practical knowledge about how to write field work and report.
Fisher and Jordan (2006) states that, the investment is a commitment of funds made in
the expectation of some positive rate of return. If an investor is properly undertaking the
return will commensurate with the risk investor assumes.

primary agriculture to serve to poor people in rural area. Later on, it has diversified its
activities to secondary agriculture. After diversification, the financial position of the bank
become more transparent and expected for better result soon.
