Abstract Financial institutions, especially the banking sector plays a crucial role in models of economic growth. It is an essential component of investments; bank Profit/Loss, banks deposits, banks advances and Interest Earning have considerable effect on economic activity and long-term economic growth. The view that, strong financial sector performance has the key to economic growth was reflected in the development strategies and plans in many countries. In Ethiopia, the development of the financial sector is limited, the contribution to GDP is also very low, and most of the banks attention to is on similar services and commercial activities in the domestic banking areas rather than diversified and international banking services. After selection of the study variables the researchers were described the economic growth function of the nation using the GDP Model to show the contribution of deposits, investments, advances, profitability and interest earning on GDP. This study is important to the practitioners, policy makers, and potential researchers by providing recommendable solutions those mitigate the obstacles in banking sector and providing conducive financial and economic theories and models important for the banking institutions and other concerned parties. The general objective of this study is to evaluate the contribution of the banking sector for the growth of GDP of the nation, more specifically it evaluate or measure the contribution of deposits, investments, advances, profitability, and interest earning on GDP of the nation. The appropriate research design adopted for this study was descriptive. From the total of 19 private and public banks in Ethiopia 5 banks were purposely selected (1 public and 4 private) for this study. Secondary sources of data were used for the analysis. All secondary data were collected from the different official publications of respected banks, annual reports and National bank of Ethiopia for five years (2009-2013 GC). The collected data were analyzed with the use of the SPSS (statistical package for the social sciences) program 20v. The percentage, mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, correlation and multiple regressions were utilized. The finding shows that Deposit, Investment, Advances, profitability, and Interest earned by Banks have significant effect on the GDP growth of the Nation. The percentage share to GDP in the sector was increased from time to time with an average of 22%, 11%, 18%, 0.86%, and 1.2% respectively.

 Objective: To assess the corporate social responsibility practices in Nepalese commercial banking sector. Methods and Materials: Primary and secondary sources of data were used in the study. The primary data were collected through direct questionnaire method from 60 employees of sampled commercial banks. The secondary source was through journals, textbooks and annual reports of Nepal Rastra Bank. SPSS and Microsoft excel were used to analyze the collected data. The value of Cronbach’s Alpha (α) of overall questionnaire is 0.92, which suggests the reliability of primary data. Descriptive and explorative research designs were used to analyze the primary and secondary data. Results and Conclusion: Responses from all the respondents of commercial banks regarding CSR and Non-Financial Performance clearly imply that CSR has an influence on the Non-Financial Performance. In terms of ‘R2’, CSR impacts both Brand Image and Brand Awareness (i.e. 0.987). This clearly indicates that more than 98.7% variance of both non-financial performances has been explained by CSR. In terms of ‘R2’, CSR impacts less in financial performance (i.e. 0.149). This clearly indicates that only than 14.9% variance of financial performance has been explained by CSR.

The purpose of this chapter is to assess the contribution of the banking sector’s recapitalization to economic growth. Secondary data of all banks in Nigeria for 1980-2006 from Central Bank of Nigeria were used for the study. The findings of the study revealed higher mean GDP (N86.229 trillion) at post-recapitalization era compared to pre-recapitalization era (N56.860 trillion). Furthermore, 37% and 25% growth in GDP were recorded at post- and pre-recapitalization era, respectively. Selected indicators (bank credit, asset, saving deposit, and total loan) were all higher in the post recapitalization era. The result of t-test showed that there was a significant difference in GDP at pre and post recapitalization era at 5% significance level holding inflation constant. Bank asset had significant effect on GDP in the post-recapitalization era. Bank performance indicators could not fully account for growth and development in Nigeria’s economy though growth was recorded. Under subsequent initiatives, bank asset and total loan increased massively, while bank credit and saving deposits were stepped up via credit and savings incentives provisions for greater impact on growth in Nigeria.

Financial Sector Development

This study investigates the influence of financial sector development on economic growth in Nigeria during the period 1982 to 2015. As such, the study obtained annual secondary data from the Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletins and World Bank financial database. The empirical model for this study examines growth in savings, growth in exchange rate, growth in government expenditure, growth in stock market capitalization, growth in credit to private sector, growth in gross capital formation, growth in trade openness and growth in broad money on economic growth in Nigeria. The multiple regression output reveals that growth in government expenditure and growth in gross capital formation are statistically significant on economic growth in Nigeria at 1% and 10% respectively under the period under investigation while other regressors in the model prove to be statistically insignificant. VAR test shows that there is considerable short-run causality running from lags of regressors to economic growth in Nigeria except for lag 1 of growth in exchange rate and lag 2 of growth in credit to private sector. The granger causality test reveals the existence of bi-directional causality between financial sector development and economic growth in Nigeria during the period under investigation. Hence, this study supports the ‘feedback hypothesis’ view on finance-growth. Based on these empirical results, this study recommends effective channeling of funds to the private sector and autonomy of the Central Bank of Nigeria in the use of monetary policy tools.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the nature of causal relations between banking sector maturity, stock market maturity, and four aspects of performance and operation of the economy: economic growth, inflation, openness in trade, and the degree of government involvement in the economy. Design/methodology/approach – The authors look for possible links between the variables by conducting panel cointegration and causality tests, using a large sample of Asian countries over the period 1960-2011. Novel panel data estimation methods allow for robust estimates, using both variation between countries and variation over time. Findings – The study identifies interesting causal links among the variables deriving uniquely from our innovations. In particular, The paper finds that for all regions considered, banking sector maturity and stock market maturity are causally linked, sometimes in both directions. Furthermore, stock market maturity may lead to economic growth, both directly and indirectly through indicators such as inflation and trade openness. The findings also support the notion that economic growth affects the maturity of the stock market in most regions. Practical implications – The results lend support to the notion that a mature financial sector is a key contributor to generating economic growth. Furthermore, economic growth itself has the potential to bring about maturity in the financial sector. Originality/value – The paper uses sophisticated principal-component analysis, panel cointegration, and Granger causality tests, methods not used in this literature before. The method was applied to recent data pertaining to 35 Asian countries – a group of countries that has previously not been adopted in this literature.

This research paper investigated the effect of environmental accounting on the economic development of Nigeria. The data were carefully collected from secondary sources and they were primarily used for content analysis. These were applied to the annual reports of five manufacturing companies to ascertain the level of compliance and costs associated with accounting for their environmental activities. The multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the collected data. The findings indicate that Environmental Protection Costs, Environmental Management Costs and Environmental Research and Development Costs all have a considerable effect on the gross domestic product of Nigeria. No effects, however, were exhibited by these variables which were statistically significant. These imply that environmental accountings as enumerated above do not significantly affect economic development in Nigeria. Thus, environmental accounting as practiced by companies in Nigeria does not play an important role in advancing the Nigerian economy. This is largely because of the fact that companies flout environmental laws in the country with impunity. These companies are aided by corrupt government officials. Government should, therefore, enhance the implementation of environmental laws in the country to make it more difficult for business organizations to avoid/evade their environmental responsibilities.

This study examines banking transformations in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) under conditions of economic liberalization, dependence between economic development of countries and efficiency of their banking systems. The comparative method and methods of economic-mathematical modeling were applied. Considering the positive correlation between financial structure and economic growth, confirmed by literature findings, the development of the financial sector can become a crucial factor in convergence for the new EU members. Analysis revealed lower depth of financial sector in Central and Eastern European countries region in comparison to the Eurozone, but higher efficiency and growth rates. Regression models confirmed the significant causality between financial sector expansion and economic growth of CEE countries, but extremely high foreign market shares in the banking sector of region create prerequisites for financial shocks transmission through contagion channel in case of economic instability in the countries of banks’ origin.

The Impact

Economic theory predicts that the development of the financial sector should have a positive impact on the overall economic development. Research has predominantly confirmed this expectation, with the remark that at earlier stages of economic development this impact should be higher, while a disproportionate banking sector has detrimental effect on growth through its impact on attracting highly skilled workforce, increased presence of moral hazard and the associated banking crises. This issue has been studied only occasionally in the case of the former socialist economies of Central and Eastern Europe and the former USSR. This paper represents an attempt to analyze the impact of the banking sector and securities markets development on the economic growth of these countries. A sample of 22 countries is assembled, using data from 1995 to 2018 and a panel regression and a GMM technique are used to derive conclusions on the researched topic. The analysis has shown that the banking sector has played a positive role in the economic growth throughout the analyzed period, while the role of the stock market is not significant. This is in line with the previous studies which have confirmed that the positive role of the securities markets should be expected only at higher levels of economic development. Also, the impact of the overall financial sector is deemed to be positive.

This study provides comprehensive discussion on role of strategic intelligence in commercial banks, in Kenyan context. The primary focus was to evaluate the performance of commercial banks using both financial and non-financial performance measurers. The financial measurers comprised return on equity (ROE), while non-financial measures were customer satisfaction, learning and growth, and internal processes. The study was anchored on resource-based view and balanced scorecard model. The target population comprised 40 commercial banks. Additionally, the sample size 181 was selected proportionately through stratified sampling procedure. Data collection instruments comprised closed and open -ended questionnaires and online review. The study used both primary and secondary data, where primary data was obtained from Kenya commercial banks head offices, while secondary data, for the year 2016 – 2018, was obtained from the annual reports of the central bank of Kenya. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics and linear multiple regression analysis. Findings of the study indicate that strategic intelligence has a statistically significance on the performance of commercial banks in Kenya. Moreover, both financial and non-financial measures of performance are relevant in the banking sector and growth of Kenyan economy. The study recommends that commercial bank in Kenya should integrate their training focus and strategy implementation with investors interests based on balanced score card.
