Abstract This study examines the explanatory power of capital adequacy, asset quality, management soundness, earnings quality, liquidity and sensitivity to market risk (CAMELS) framework as well as a number of other variables on the financial soundness (measured by regulatory capital adequacy ratios) of banks in Nigeria. The findings, using ordinary least squared (OLS) regression subsequent to the establishment of no panel effects among the sampled banks, reveal the significant explanatory potentials of these bank-specific variables though some give a reversal of their prior expectations. Apart from reawakening the investors’ and depositors’ interest, the findings further have policy implications on the regulation and operation of these financial institutions. The study breaks new grounds in the measurement of capital adequacy using gross revenue ratio and leverage ratio, asset quality using income statement impairment charges for loan losses, and in the inclusion of the sensitivity to market risk most especially in the Nigerian context.

The banking sector  plays in important role in the country’s economy, acting as an intermediary to all industries. As the banking sector has a major impact on the economy as a whole. Performance evaluation of the banking sector is an effective measure and indicator to check the soundness of economic activities of an economy. Many methods are employed to analyse banking performance. One of the popular methods is the CAMELS framework, developed in the early 1970’s by federal regulators in the USA. The CAMELS rating system is based upon an evaluation of six critical elements of a financial institution’s operations: Capital adequacy, Asset quality, Management soundness, Earnings and profitability, Liquidity, and Sensitivity to market risk. Under this bank is required to enhance capital adequacy, strengthen asset quality, improve management, increase earnings, maintain liquidity, and reduce sensitivity to various financial risks. In the present study an attempt was made to evaluate the performance & financial soundness of NEPAL BANGLADESH BANK LTD using CAMEL approach. Quantitative parameters are computed and updated on a quarterly basis while in respect of the qualitative parameters the ratings / marks given at the time of previous on-site examination

<p><em>The aim of this research paper is to examine the Jordanian banks using financial soundness indicators. This is to establish if Jordanian banks were affected because of the 2007/2008 financial crisis and determine the underlying reasons. The research paper was conducted on 25 banks in Jordan listed in the countries securities exchange. The research methodology used consisted of examining the banks financial records in order to derive four crucial Basel III ratio such as the capital adequacy ratio, the leverage ratio, the liquidity ratio and finally the Total Provisions (As % Of Non-Performing Loans) %. The results revealed that out of the four hypotheses under examination Jordan Banks do not meet Basel financial Indicators for Capital Adequacy Ratio, Jordan Banks does not meet Basel financial Indicators for Liquidity Ratio , Jordan Banks do not meet Basel financial Indicators for Leverage Ratio and Jordan Banks do not meet Basel financial Indicators for Total Provisions (As % Of Non-Performing Loans) ratio. Only one hypothesis was accepted based on the research outcomes. The rest of the hypothesis was rejected since the average trend line did not go below the Basel III required ratio level. The general outcome of the research revealed that Jordanian banks were not affected significantly by the financial crisis.</em></p>

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.

This article evaluates and compares the financial soundness of Islamic and conventional PCBs operating in Bangladesh based on the CAMEL approach over the period 2015 to 2019. For this purpose, the authors select a sample of 17 Conventional PCBs and 6 Islamic PCBs listed on the Dhaka Stock Exchange. In terms of composite CAMEL ratings, none of the banks is found to be strong or satisfactory in financial soundness in 2019. Out of 17 conventional banks, 13 of them are in a fair position i.e. having financial, operational, or compliance weakness and need more than normal supervision and regulation to address the deficiencies. Another 4 conventional banks are in a marginal position means that they are in serious financial problems and need close supervision and regulation. Ranking of conventional banks based on composite CAMEL ratings shows that Brac Bank Ltd. is in top position (Score 2.65) with Bank Asia Ltd. securing second position (score 2.7) while AB Bank Ltd., IFIC Bank Ltd, One Bank Ltd., and Mutual Trust Bank Ltd. are in the worst position with marginal status. Among 6 Islamic banks, 5 are in a fair position and only 1 in a marginal position in 2019. Shahjalal Islami Bank Ltd. secures the top position (Score 2.8) with fair status and Social Islami Bank Ltd. is in the worst position with marginal status. Independent sample test is used to see whether there is any significant difference between Islamic and Conventional PCBs concerning CAMEL parameters. The study finds that except for liquidity there is no significant difference in capital adequacy, asset quality, management quality, and earnings quality. The study also reveals that there is no significant difference in the average CAMEL ratings of two types of Banking. However, on average Islamic banks have better asset quality, management quality while conventional banks have better capital adequacy, earnings, and liquidity.

This chapter discusses trading book models. Risk models come in a variety of types. However, for market risk purposes there have been a number of types which may be used within the framework. The simplest is the ‘CAD 1’ model — named after the first Capital Adequacy Directive, which permitted such models to be used in the calculation of regulatory capital. VaR models, permitted by Basel 2, were more complex, and this complexity was increased by Basel 2.5, which required the use of ‘stressed VAR’. In due course all of this will be replaced by the Basel 3 FRTB calculation, which rejects VAR and is based on the calculation of an expected shortfall (ES) market risk charge, a VaR based default risk charge (DRC) (for those exposures where the bank is exposed to the default of a third party), and a stressed ES-based capital add-on.

PurposeThe contribution of the banking industry to the financial crisis of 2007/8 has raised public concerns about the financial soundness of banks around the world with many countries still suffering the backlogs of this crisis. The continuous emergence of such crises at both national and international levels increases governments', bank regulators' and financial market participants' need for reliable tools to assess the financial soundness of banks. In this context, this study investigates the financial soundness of the Kazakh banking sector, which is ranked by the World Bank as the first in the world in terms of the percentage of nonperforming loans (NPL) to total gross loans in 2012.Design/methodology/approachUsing data about all Kazakh banks over the period January 01, 2008 to January 01, 2014, the study identifies a number of accounting indicators that influence the financial soundness of banks using principal component analysis (PCA). Then, it uses the outcomes of the PCA in a cluster analysis and groups the Kazakh banks into sound, risky and unsound banks at two points in time: January 01, 2008 and January 01, 2014. This methodology was further tested against a ranking system of banks and proved to be more reliable in detecting risky banks.FindingsFifteen financial ratios were initially selected as accounting indicators for the assessment of bank financial soundness. Using PCA, twelve indicators were isolated, which explain five principal components of capital adequacy, return on assets, profitability, asset quality, liquidity and leverage. Then using the “k-means” method, the results suggest a structure of the Kazakh banking sector on January 01, 2008 that includes two groups of banks: sound and risky banks. On January 01, 2014, this structure of the banking system has changed to include three groups of banks: sound, risky and unsound banks. Thus, in 2014 a new group of banks has emerged, i.e. financially unsound banks.Practical implicationsThe proposed cluster-based methodology has proven to be a reliable tool to detect the financial soundness of Kazakh banks, which makes us advocate its employability for bank monitoring and supervision purposes.Originality/valueThis study is the first to employ a cluster-based methodology to assess the financial soundness of a banking sector. This methodology can be used at a micro-level to determine the structure of a banking sector. Also, it can be used to monitor any changes in the structure of a banking sector and provide early warning signals about the financial health of banks.

This research aims to evaluate the impacts of liquidity, profitability, size, loans and capital structure on banks’ capital adequacy ratio (CAR) in the Western Balkan region using annual data from 103 commercial banks operated in Western Balkan countries for the period between 2010 and 2018. Panel data fixed effect method is employed. The data comprises of a total 51 observations for panel least squares. The empirical findings obtained panel data regression show that profitability proxies by the return on asset (ROA) have the largest impact on CAR among other financial ratios. In addition, liquidity and size have statistically significant positive effects in determining capital adequacy ratio for the banks in the region, unlike leverage ratio. However, the leverage ratio has a negative impact on the capital adequacy ratio. The policy implications of this study suggest that in order to accomplish requirements for capital adequacy expectations are to have good indicators in regard to performance, liquidity and size.

The Relationship

The capital to risk-weighted assets ratio (CRAR) introduced by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) of the Bank for International Settlement (BIS) is widely used as an important measure of the soundness of banks. However, international institutions, academics, and market analytics have increasingly questioned the reliability of the ratio which has been revised a number of times since its inception, to make it more robust. The main objective of the present study is to assess the adequacy of using CRAR as a measure of the soundness of banks. One of the most popular methods used for the analysis of the banks’ financial soundness is CAMELS framework which uses six key dimensions: capital adequacy, asset quality, management quality, earning ability, liquidity, and sensitivity to market risk. Before the introduction of CRAR, the ratio of capital to the total assets was widely used as a measure of capital adequacy in the CAMELS framework. However, when risk-based CRAR was introduced, banking regulators and policymakers started using it in the CAMELS framework for representing capital adequacy. In this paper, we argue that CRAR, as a comprehensive forward-looking measure, encapsulates all the six dimensions of the financial soundness of banks, representing various facets of banking operations, which are covered in the CAMELS framework. We, therefore, develop a theoretical framework to establish the relationship between risk-based CRAR and the important ratios used under the CAMELS framework and then empirically investigate the relationship using a panel regression model using data of Indian banks for the period 2009–2018. The results indicate that CRAR has a significant and theoretically consistent relationship with all six dimensions of the CAMEL framework. The study, therefore, does not only confirm the appropriateness of using CRAR as a measure of the soundness of banks, but also opens up a debate on whether CRAR can be an alternative for the CAMELS framework.

This study aims to determine the condition of the soundness of banks by way of assessment using the CAMEL method (Capital, Asset Quality, Management, Earning, and Liquidity). CAMEL analysis has five aspects, namely capital aspects using CAR (Capital Adequacy Ratio) ratio, asset quality aspects using KAP (Productive Asset Quality) ratio, management aspects using NPM (Net Profit Margin) ratio, profitability aspect uses ROA (Return on asset ratio) ) and BOPO (Operating Expenses to Operating Income), and Liquidity use the LDR (Loan to Deposit Ratio) ratio. This type of research was a type of quantitative research. Based on the characteristics of the problem raised by the researcher, this study was classified as a quantitative descriptive study. The data used in this study were secondary data obtained indirectly from Bank Syariah Mandiri. The data used were financial statement data (Financial Position Report and Income Statement) of PT. Bank Syariah Mandiri Tbk for three periods, namely 2016 to 2018. In addition, data were obtained from books, journals, internet or other media that support this research. Based on the results of research conducted at PT. Bank Syariah Mandiri Tbk shows that the value of the CAMEL in 2016 was 45.92 with the title NOT HEALTHY, in 2017 it was 45.92 with the NOT HEALTHY rating, and in 2018 was 47.68 with the NOT HEALTHY predicate.
