The main objective of this study is to find out how, the two different types of risks,i.e. Liquidity Risk & Credit Risk,affect the overall profitability/financial performance of commercial banks in Pakistan. We used methods that were applicable on a panel data for long run and short run time specifications. Thirty-three scheduled banks listed with the SBP,as of December 2018 have been used for the purpose of the data analysis. The panel data that is used for this study stretches across a period of 10 years,with 33 cross sections. The findings of this current study revealed that the financial performance of the banks present in Pakistan is negatively,and significantly influenced by the credit risk. In addition to this, it was revealed that the lesser the non-performing loans, the lower the risk factor that is experienced. The financial risk comprising of credit risk and liquidity risk tends to have a significantly robust impact on the overall enactment of the commercial banks in Pakistan. This study will prove beneficial for the top management of the financial institutions developing economies, as it will enhance their existing knowledge regarding the impact of financial risk, which will eventually infiltrate into the intensity and quality of the financial performance of the banks. This will also enable banks, and other financial institutions to involve all the relevant stakeholders,in order to determine how they can minimize the effects of the financial risk,so as to maximize the overall returns.

This paper investigates the impact of foreign ownership on liquidity risk of commercial banks in Vietnam during the period 2009-2015. The regression analysis of panel data is used in the paper with the data collected from 35 Vietnamese commercial banks. The results show that higher foreign ownership is associated with lower liquidity risk of banks. In addition, credit risk and liquidity risk in previous year have a positive relationship with liquidity risk of banks in current year. The results of the study provide empirical evidence to support the important role of foreign ownership in liquidity risk management and other operations of commercial banks in Vietnam.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of competition on credit risk, liquidity risk, capital risk and insolvency risk in the Chinese banking industry during the period 2003-2013. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a generalized method of moments system estimator to examine the impact of competition on risk. In particular, translog specifications are used to measure the competition and insolvency risk. Findings The results show that greater competition within each bank ownership type (state-owned commercial banks, joint-stock commercial banks and city commercial banks) leads to higher credit risk, higher liquidity risk, higher capital risk, but lower insolvency risk. Originality/value This paper is the first piece of research testing the impact of competition on different types of risk in banking industry and it further contributes to the empirical literature by using a more accurate competition indicator (efficiency-adjusted Lerner index) and a more precise insolvency risk indicator (stability inefficiency).

This study aims to investigate the impact of liquidity, credit, and financial leverage risks on the financial performance of Islam banks in Sudan during the period of 2008 - 2018. Panel dataset of 143 observations from (13) banks has been used in this study. Two models of ROA and NPM have been constructed using robust random effects estimates for testing the study hypotheses. The independent variables consist of liquidity and credit risks plus the financial Leverage ratio. Credit risk that measured by nonperformance of loan (financing) and provision of loan (financing) loss ratios; while the liquidity risk measured by cash to deposits ratio, liquid assets to total assets ratio and total loan (financing) to total deposits ratio. The financial performance of Islamic banks in Sudan measured by the ratios of return on assets and net profit margin. The results reveal that the credit risk and financial leverage have significant and negative impact on the financial performance of Islamic banks in Sudan, whereas the liquidity risk generally found to be insignificant. Despite that, the liquidity risk in term of liquid assets to total assets ratio provides a significant and positive influence on the financial performance of Sudanese banks. Finally, the importance of this study is that it touches the most significant types of risks that Sudanese Islamic banks face during their operational cycles.

The impact of bank specific factors on the financial performance of Nepalese commercial banks is analyzed in this paper. The financial performance is measured by using return on assets (ROA). Similarly, managerial efficiency (ME), liquidity (LIQ), credit risk (CR), assets quality (AQ) and operational efficiency (OE) is used as proxy of bank specific factors. This study used panel data of 17 commercial banks for the period of 2010/11 to 2017/18. Breusch and Pagan Lagrangian multiplier test showed that Pooled Regression model is not appropriate and Hausman test concluded that Fixed Effect model is appropriate rather than Random Effect model. Using the Fixed Effect model; this study concludes that bank specific factors have significant impact on financial performance of Nepalese commercial banks. Finally, this study reveals that ME, AQ and OE have significant positive impact, and CR has negative impact on the financial performance of Nepalese commercial banks.

This study empirically examines the relationship between the banking competition and the risks faced by the financial sector (i.e. solvency, liquidity, and credit risks) considering 31 banks for the period 2001 to 2018. Banks are further sub-divided into three categories i.e. state-owned banks, foreign banks, and private/commercial banks. The results reveal that Pakistan’s banking industry is relatively elastic and an increase in competition is directly associated with solvency risk, liquidity risk and credit risk of financial institutions and these findings corroborate the competition fragility theory. Besides, state-owned banks have a lesser probability to cope with solvency risk, however, foreign banks appear to face the least liquidity risk whereas private banks appear to face the least credit risk among the entire cluster.


In order to get competitive advantage, many Financial Institutions are sharing resources in the current scenario. To ward off competition Financial Institutions have tied up with the banks which is termed as bancassurance. The present study is focused on studying the impact of bancassurance on the financial performance of the privately owned commercial banks in India full stop the data was collected from 180 respondents working in 6 private banks of India. With the help of a questionnaire the primary data is collected and the secondary data was collected from the respective Bank sites. It was found that banks should come up with optimum optimal regulatory policies that won't allow them to compromise with the banks performance. And they have to recruit the best management talents so that right decision, smooth handling of the risk can be done by the banks

Financial risk covers credit risk, liquidity risk and operational risk, which banks face during their operations and these risks have severe impact on profitability of banks. The Basel Committee for Banking Supervision (BCBS) introduces Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) to overcome uncertainties/ losses (Risk) to the banks. In this context, the aim of this study is to identify the Impact of financial risk on financial performance of commercial banks in Pakistan with mediating role of Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR). The findings of the study show that credit risk and liquidity risk have a negative relationship with financial performance, whereas operational risk has a positive relationship with financial performance and capital adequacy ratio of the banks in Pakistan. This study is useful in devising the rules and regulations by the regulators (Basel Committee and State Bank of Pakistan) for risk measurement and management of banks.
