### Summary
- The paper explores a different, supplementary way to assess and manage a particular type of banking crises, those arising from a rise of nonperforming loans to the corporate sector.
- It relies on a “national wealth approach,” focusing on the distribution of net wealth among economic sectors and its interaction with developments in the banking system.
- It identifies avenues for policy response optimization, based on an integrated macrofinancial analytical framework, both for the prevention and the resolution of these types of economic events.

### Analytical focus and findings
- Focus: distribution of net wealth among economic sectors and interaction with banking system developments.
- Crisis type analyzed: banking crises arising from a rise of nonperforming loans to the corporate sector.
- Analytical framework: integrated macrofinancial analytical framework linking national accounts, financial statements, and banking-sector indicators.
- Emphasis on metrics and concepts appearing in the paper: bank borrower, bank capital, bank data, collection capability, financial condition, profitability data, value creation, orphan financial assets, income statement, national accounts.

### Policy implications and recommendations
