Financial intermediation theory assigns banks a unique role in the resolution of information asymmetry, while monetary theory assigns banks a unique role in money creation and the of monetary policy. The bank’s willingness to lend depends on perceptions of the project’s payoffs and the moral rectitude of the borrowers, while the bank’s ability to lend depends on the adequacy of the bank’s capital and the stance of monetary policy. Small firms are largely dependent on bank financing - information asymmetry, moral hazard and switching costs restrict access to alternate financing sources. If firms were constrained by their bank’s ability to lend, measures of bank capital would be significant determinants of the firm’s growth. By identifying specific bank-borrower relationships, we explore the hypothesis that a bank’s capital adequacy situation has the potential to influence lending decisions and hence affect the bank’s asset structure and the small firm’s ability to finance operations.

Nigerian Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) tend to have suffered the plight of Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) in recent times in no small quantum. Consequently, a large chunk of them have had to increase their loan loss provisions and this may dwindle their liquidity. This study investigates the effect of non-performing loans on liquidity of Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. A panel regression analysis was performed on a data of 15 quoted DMBs from 2009 to 2019, in order to examine the correlation between the explained variable (banks’ liquidity) and Non-Performing Loans (NPL) while other explanatory variables- Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Bank Size (BS), Loan Growth (LG), Monetary Policy Rate (MPR), Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Inflation were taken into consideration. Data were extracted from the banks’ yearly financial statements and the World Bank Financial Statistics. Based on the empirical findings, the study found only four variables-Non Performing Loans, Capital Adequacy Ratio, Bank Size and Inflation significantly related at 5% significant level with banks’ liquidity while the other three; Gross Domestic Product, Loan Growth and Monetary Policy Rate were identified as insignificant. The finding also revealed that NPLs has negative effect on banks’ liquidity while CAR, BS and INF showed positive relationship. The study recommends strict compliance of banks with the NPLs tolerable limit set by the Central bank. It also suggests that the CBN take proactive measure to ensure the banks’ compliance with the minimum capital requirement.

The Relationship

The bank capital structure debacle in the aftermath of the 2007-2009 financial crises continues to preoccupy the minds of regulators and scholars alike. In this paper we investigate the relationship between capital structure and profitability within the context of an emerging market of South Africa. We conduct multiple linear regressions on time series data of big South African banks for the period 2002 to 2013. We establish a strong relationship between the ROA (profitability measure) and the bank specific determinants of capital structure, namely capital adequacy, size, deposits and credit risk. The relationship exhibits sensitivity to macro-economic shocks (such as recessions), in the case of credit risk and capital but is persistent for the other determinants of capital structure.

Asset Quality

To reinforce the stability of the financial system, policy makers and the Basel committee have proposed Basel accord to ensure that financial institutions maintain sufficient capital buffers. Basel III framework emphasizes on sustained increase in bank capital in order to absorb the potential credit, market and operational risks. The capital adequacy requirement under Basel III norms are directly linked to the PCA (Prompt Corrective action) framework which has disrupted the flow of credit in the economy. Market risk, Credit risk, Operational risk and deposits are some of the factors affecting the capital adequacy ratio (CAR) which influences the bank performances. This study aims at analysing the most important factor responsible for the shrinking liquidity due to adherence of stringent capital adequacy ratio imposed by RBI. Currently 11 public sector Banks out of 21 PSUs under PCA has sequentially shrunk their loan book including UCO Bank. The bank’s asset quality has worsened over the years. Using regression analysis, this paper seeks to study the major determinants of Capital Adequacy ratio using data sets for the period from 2009 to 2018 of UCO bank. The data was collected from the financial reports of the UCO bank for the aforesaid period. Among the parameters considered, it was found that deposits affect the CAR the most and market risk has the lowest impact on CAR.

Bank Capital Regulation

The paper analyzes the evolution of the introduction of international standards for bank capital regulation. The aim of the research is to study international standards for bank capital regulation and their impact on financial stability and sustainability of domestic banking systems. The 2007—2009 Global Financial Crisis was perhaps the greatest banking and financial crisis since bank failures and the financial panic of the Great Depression in early 1930s. According to academics and professionals, there has been much debate over the last decade as to whether the 2007—2009 banking crisis was primarily a solvency crisis or a liquidity crisis. Capital adequacy of banks today is the main indicator of increasing society’s confidence in banking systems. The flexible and balanced implementation of Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) recommendations on the assessment of bank capital adequacy is of particular importance in the context of the deepening economic crisis caused by COVID-19 quarantine restrictions. Regulation of bank capital is primarily settles by the ability to execute basic functions inherent in it. A number of shocks in connection with the crisis require the renewal and search for a new paradigm of regulation, which today is focused on achieving financial stability, overcoming pro-cyclicality, especially in the banking sector. One of the latest developments in the field of bank capital regulation has been the implementation of international banking supervision standards recommended by BCBS, which have been transformed from Basel I, Basel II, Basel III, Basel 3.5 to Basel IV. The new ideology suggests that in times of financial and economic crisis or in anticipation of growing uncertainty in the economy, it is necessary to abandon the idea of bank capital management and the creation of financial reserves to maintain liquidity and stability of financial institutions. These measures will not be able to protect the bank from default and bankruptcy. This ideology has become a new paradigm of effective banking regulation, which can be formulated as an accepted set of three vectors: risk; risk management; risk-oriented supervision.
