A country’s banking sector plays a dominant and important role in its financial growth and economic progress. The prime objective of this research paper is aimed towards evaluating the performance of 12 selected banks in United Arab Emirates (UAE) through various financial ratios. The paper highlights the various financial parameters such as adequacy of risk based capital, credit growth, concentration of credit, non performing position of loans, liquidity gap analysis, liquidity ratios, return on assets, return on equity, net interest margin in analysing the financial performance of the selected banks. The analysis of ratio helps to develop an insight to the extent the various financial variable impact the profitability and the productivity of the selected National Commercial Banks in U.A.E. The purpose of this paper is to examine the future financial performance of selected U.A.E National commercial banks using three indicators; Internal–based performance measured by Return on Assets, Market-based performance measured by Tobin’s Q model (Price / Book value of Equity) and Economic–based performance measured by Economic Value add. The financial data has been adopted from the audited financial statements of the sampled banks for the period of 2014 till 2017. Statistical tools used in the study include multiple regression analysis that captures the impact of the individual size of the bank, the credit risk, efficiency in operations and the asset management on the financial performance followed by forecasting the Future Trend.

The main purpose of this research is to study the impact of corporate governance on the financial performance of the banking sector in Kosovo. To analyze this impact, the Pearson correlation coefficient, multiple regression analysis related to the board size and board independence and banking sector performance in Kosovo were applied. The key corporate governance variables that have been studied in this research are: (i) size of the board of directors, (ii) the independence of the board of directors (the ratio between non-executive directors and the total number of board members). The data for this research were collected from the annual reports and audited financial statements of commercial banks in Kosovo for the 12 year period (2006-2017) and from questionnaires addressed to board members of commercial banks in Kosovo as well as other publications from relevant local institutions such as the Central Bank of Kosovo (CBK), Statistical Office of Kosovo (SOK), Tax Administration of Kosovo (TAK), etc. The results of the multiple regression analysis regarding the influence of the board of directors on the financial performance of the banking sector indicate that: the size of the board of directors and the independence of the board of directors have a positive and significant impact on the financial performance of the banking sector in Kosovo, expressed through return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). Findings of this research are in line with the findings of other researchers in this field and confirm the assertion that the management of the above variables improves and has a positive impact on the financial performance of banks in Kosovo.

The study examined “risk management and financial performance of banks in Nigeria” with focus on commercial banks. The broad objective of the study was to ascertain the effect of risk asset management on the optimal financial performance of commercial banks in Nigeria. The study is a longitudinal survey, so the ex-post facto research design was applied. Research data were analysed using generalized method of moments (GMM) and vector Error Correction Model, after testing and adjusting the data for stationarity and Cointegration.The research findings were: Banks’ profitability is significantly influenced in the short run by liquidity risk and in the long-run by credit risk, capital adequacy risk, leverage risk and liquidity risk. Furthermore, profitability measured by ROaA was found to be positively related to liquidity risk but negatively related credit risk. Arising from the findings, there is the need for effective risk management, especially credit, capital adequacy, leverage and liquidity risks, to enhance the profitability of banks. By helping to enhance the going concern of banks, risk management will help to reduce retrenchment and unemployment and hence help to forestall the attendant social vices.

Commercial banks have a pivotal role in an economy as they provide easy access for firms to fulfill financing needs and help stimulate economic development. This study aims to analyze the impact of key bank-specific determinants on bank value in Nepalese commercial banks, covering 133 observations from 19 commercial banks over the period 2012/13 to 2018/19. Bank value is measured through M/B and Tobin’s Q. Size, profitability, credit risk, loan, deposit and capital are used as explanatory variables. Panel data regression models have been used for analysis purpose. The results of this paper show that profitability, deposit and loans are major determinants of bank value. Moreover, return on assets and bank deposit have positive effect on bank value whereas loan has negative explaining power on bank value. Thus, this paper concludes that Nepalese commercial banks have to pay special attention for the efficient and effective utilization of assets to increase profits and try to increase the size of deposits to increase loan portfolio. Steps and enforcement actions need to be taken by policy level authorities for effective loan management to minimize credit risk and increase bank value.

This work examined the effect of Treasury Single Account (TSA) implementation on the financial performance of commercial banks in Nigeria. The study employed expo-facto survey research design and seven big commercial banks in Nigeria. First Bank of Nigeria, Zenith Bank, Access Bank, UBA, Union Bank, Diamond Bank and Fidelity Bank were judgmentally sampled for this study. Secondary data were gathered through CBN statistical bulletin from 2013 to 2017 (that is two years before and two years after implementation of TSA). Customers deposit was used as proxy for independent variable (Treasury Single Account), while profit after tax, return on equity and return on assets are proxies for dependent variable (financial performance). The data collected were analyzed using comparable mean, while research hypotheses were tested using Simple regression analysis. The findings obtained from the statistical testing of the hypotheses of this study show that customers’ deposit has a significant effect on profit after tax, return on assets and return on equity of commercial banks in Nigeria. The study recommends that Government should create enabling grounds for commercial banks to operate and be profitable to enable investors to have confidence on the economy because banks drive every economy. Commercial banks should increase their customer deposit by engaging in aggressive marketing strategy that will attract private individuals and businesses in order to increase the volume of their liquidity. Merger and acquisition should be encouraged in order to increase the capital base of banks and to make them strong and viable. Also, banks should avoid over-reliance on government deposits and focus more on other banking activities as well as investments that would help in enhancing their performance.

It is widely believed that the financial system is dependent on the banking industry, and its strength and development are vital for economic prosperity. This paper tried to show the financial performance of Iranian banks listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) during 2013–2019, as the research population. The statistical population included 18 banks listed on the TSE from 2013 to 2019, which were sampled using a screening method. The results indicated a significant relationship between explanatory variables of capital ratio and the financial performance of banks in all models. However, a significant negative relationship was found between the inflation rate and the financial performance of banks in all models. Furthermore, it seems that banks with high asset strength are more profitable than the others. Regulators should guarantee that banks remain highly capitalized for a viable banking sector in Iran.

The study carried out an empirical investigation into the quantitative effect of credit risk on the performance of commercial banks in Nigeria over the period of 11 years (2000-2010). Five commercial banking firms were selected on a cross sectional basis for eleven years. The traditional profit theory was employed to formulate profit, measured by Return on Asset (ROA), as a function of the ratio of Non-performing loan to loan & Advances (NPL/LA), ratio of Total loan & Advances to Total deposit (LA/TD) and the ratio of loan loss provision to classified loans (LLP/CL) as measures of credit risk. Panel model analysis was used to estimate the determinants of the profit function. The results showed that the effect of credit risk on bank performance measured by the Return on Assets of banks is cross-sectional invariant. That is the effect is similar across banks in Nigeria, though the degree to which individual banks are affected is not captured by the method of analysis employed in the study. A 100 percent increase in non-performing loan reduces profitability (ROA) by about 6.2 percent, a 100 percent increase in loan loss provision also reduces profitability by about 0.65percent while a 100 percent increase in total loan and advances increase profitability by about 9.6 percent. Based on our findings, it is recommended that banks in Nigeria should enhance their capacity in credit analysis and loan administration while the regulatory authority should pay more attention to banks’ compliance to relevant provisions of the Bank and other Financial Institutions Act (1999) and prudential guidelines.

The objective of this paper is to determine the impact of risk factors on the financial performance of the commercial banking sector in Barbados using quarterly data for the period 2000 to 2015. The empirical results indicate that Capital Risk, Credit Risk, Liquidity Risk, Interest Rate Risk and Operational Risk have statistically significant impacts on financial performance. The only risk variable which does not derive this result is Country Risk. In addition, of those variables which proxy external factors, only GDP Growth has a statistically insignificant influence on financial performance. Credit risk exerted a negative impact on the banks’ financial performance, thus the banks must ensure they adopt appropriate measures to minimise the impact of this risk. Higher levels of capital impacted positively on the banking sector’s profitability. This paper is the first effort employing such an extensive dataset based on Barbados’ commercial banking sector and shows the main factors that influence commercial banks’ financial performance in this developing economy.

In the context of the sharp development of the Vietnamese stock market in recent years, financial performance of listed firms is drawing the attention of investors, particularly in banking industry. Moreover, the harmony of income diversity or reducing the relying on traditional activities of commercial banks is thriving in the world and strongly influence on Vietnam’s banking, especially when the outbreak of COVID-19 worldwide may result in the freeze of real estate market, which leads to devaluate collaterals as well as the risk of non-performing loans, so-called “credit shocks”. This paper, therefore, examines the impacts of income diversity on financial performance of Vietnamese commercial banks in the period from 2007 to 2019. To conduct this study, annual data are collected of 26 commercial banks, listed in Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HOSE), Ha Noi Stock Exchange (HNX), UPCoM and OTC. The research develops an exploratory model reflecting financial performance of the banks in relation to their income diversity and analyzes data using panel regressions. The results show that there is no relationship between financial performance and income diversity due to its low proportion in total operating income. However, the state ownership makes stronger this relationship despite the small impacts. The findings are expected to add the gap in the existing literature, lacking of investigating the impacts of market power on bank income diversity, and the moderating role of state ownership in this relation in Vietnamese banking sector, which is ignored or opposite in most recent studies. Thereby, the paper also gives some useful implications for investors, bank managers as well as policy makers to catch up the market fluctuations.
