ABSTRACT

The research seeks to investigate macroeconomics before and during the COVID-19 by evaluating how the COVID-19 pandemic affected banking credit activity, and analyzing banking performance factors associated with credit risk, such as capital, bank size, net interest margin, return on asset, return on equity and credit growth. The differences or influences that have a significant impact on credit risk before and during the COVID-19 pandemic is then studied. Furthermore, determining its relevance is an important aspect of this work. This research employs a quantitative strategy based on multiple regression analysis and a descriptive approach to fit an evaluation method with a particular condition. The results revealed that the bank performance related to credit risk before and during the COVID-19 was different. In this case, it is expected that bank management can prepare a risk mitigation strategy based on these results.
