Outstanding Liabilities (OSL) in the banking sector refer to the total amount of debts or obligations that a financial institution owes to its creditors or other parties, which have not yet been settled. These liabilities can include loans, mortgages, and other forms of debt that are due within a specific timeframe. The management of outstanding liabilities is crucial for maintaining the financial health and stability of a bank, as it directly impacts its liquidity and creditworthiness.
In the context of banking regulations, outstanding liabilities are closely monitored to ensure compliance with capital adequacy requirements.

Effective management of OSL involves regular assessment, risk mitigation strategies, and adherence to legal and regulatory standards to prevent financial distress.
