STUDY OF RISK MANAGEMENT IN BANKING SECTOR

Abstract

When it comes to the change of an economy, the function that financial institutions of a country perform is absolutely essential. The financial performance of a bank over the course of its history, as well as its capacity to manage risks such as market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk, can be used to evaluate the progress that banking institutions have made. In the 1980s, the United States of America first implemented a supervisory framework model known as "CAMEL" in order to ascertain the overall state of the bank. It is possible for the model to serve as an efficient instrument for guidance and management, as it is able to forecast future risks that may have an impact on a bank. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of three "public sector banks" and three "private sector banks" in India using the CAMEL methodology for a period of two years, specifically 2022 and 2023. A bank's financial strength is determined using the CAMEL model, which rates the banks from best to worst based on characteristics such as "capital adequacy, asset quality, management efficiency, earning, and liquidity." characteristics such as these are used to determine the strength of a bank. According to the findings of the study, the State Bank of India, the Central Bank of India, and the IDBI bank are the three banks that perform the best in terms of the CAMEL parameters among public sector banks. Similarly, according to the CAMEL composite index rating, the private sector banks in India that hold the top ranks are ICICI bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, and HDFC bank. Key Word : CAMEL model evaluates financial health of banks using capital, asset quality, management, earnings, and liquidity.
