Aunque todas las respuestas me parecen acertadas, me decido por la tuya, ya que "doubtful debts" me parece el término más acertado para traducir "insolvencias". He visto esta traducción en muchos de los asientos contables con los que he trabajado. Lamento no haber aportado más contexto a mi pregunta. Un saludo y gracias.

menos provisiones por insolvencias
lower provisions for bad debts


Explanation:
If we are referring to banks alone (and not companies in general), then it would be something like "loan-loss provisions"

On re-thinking, SmartTrans may be right. More context required. BTW, Jose, I note that your stated language combinations are INTO SPANISH, not into English.
