Based on the findings, the author proposes comprehensive recommendations aimed at optimizing loan portfolios, mitigating non-performing loans (NPLs), and implementing advanced digital solutions such as artificial intelligence and big data analytics. The practical application of these recommendations can significantly enhance the competitiveness of commercial banks and improve the overall quality of banking services.
