Abstract

The objective of the study is to estimate important financial ratios of major commercial banks in Oman and compare their financial management practices as indicated by the ratios. The study covers the period 1997 to 2003. Cross country comparisons makes the study all the more useful. The ratios used in the study are divided into five broad groups: Liquidity Management Ratios Interest Rate Risk Management Ratios Credit Risk Management Ratios Capital Account Management Ratios Cost Management Ratios Profitability Management Ratios Each group of ratios throws light on the differences in financial management practices of banks in the respective area. The study clearly shows that there are wide differences in the ratios of different banks and that some banks have better financial management practices than others.
