Lending, Credit Risk and Financial Management

Dear Colleagues,

In the ever-evolving landscape of financial markets, significant events such as the global financial crisis, geopolitical shifts, and technological advancements have continuously reshaped the frameworks and strategies associated with lending and credit risk management. As we navigate through a post-COVID era marked by heightened inflation and economic uncertainty, it is imperative that we reassess and innovate our approaches to financial management to ensure stability and adaptability.

This Special Issue seeks to gather and disseminate cutting-edge theoretical and empirical research on lending and credit risk financial management. We are particularly interested in studies that address the implications of recent global changes on lending practices, risk assessment, and regulatory compliance, and those that explore the integration of sustainability and technological innovation into these processes.

The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

• Innovations in lending;
• Regulatory and compliance challenges;
• Advanced credit risk modelling;
• Behavioral aspects of lending;
• Sustainability in lending;
• Economic policy impact;
• Comparative financial studies.
