Abstract

Credit risk defined as the probability that part of the bank's assets especially loans drop in value and is likely to be worthless. Therefore, credit risk management is important and it is health center of a bank and the entire financial system. As a result, this study examines the effect of loan growth on credit risk of banks using three index loan losses, interest income and equity-to-total assets ratio in fifteen Selected branches of Mellat Bank of Bushehr Province during 2001-2014using panel data method.
The results indicate that increase in loans increase loan losses and decrease interest income and equity-to-total assets ratio and as a result increase credit risk. Banks with more assets have a higher capacity for lending and efficiency of them equally dropping including failure to repay loans. Also, abnormal loans growth in two to four prior periods has a significant and positive effect on relative loan losses. As a result, it is recommended that banks refrain from lending over two years; because in this case will increase the credit risk of banks.
