Banking Financial Performance as Influenced by Credit Risk, Liquidity and Bank Size In Conventional Banks Listed On The Indonesian Stock Exchange For The Period 2014 - 2023

This study aims to empirically examine the impact of credit risk, liquidity, and bank size on the financial performance of conventional banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2014-2023, with a particular focus on the COVID-19 pandemic period. The research variables used include the Non-Performing Loan (NPL) ratio, Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR), and bank size, while Return on Assets (ROA) is used as a financial performance indicator. This study uses the purposive sampling method to select a sample from 138 banks listed on the IDX, resulting in 9 banks that meet the established criteria. Data analysis was conducted using panel data regression with the Fixed Effect Generalized Least Square (GLS) model to address the issues of autocorrelation and heteroskedasticity found in classical assumptions. The research results show that credit risk (NPL) has a significant negative impact on ROA, while bank size and liquidity (LDR) have a significant positive impact on ROA during the pandemic. These findings highlight the importance of managing credit and liquidity risks as well as optimizing bank size to improve financial performance amid the challenging economic conditions caused by the pandemic. This study also suggests that the financial performance of banks can be more stable if supported by appropriate risk management strategies and good operational efficiency. The limitations of this study include a sample restricted to conventional banks in Indonesia and the specific conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic, which may affect the generalization of the results.

Managerial insight on triple bottom line reporting – an analysis of the Indian banking sector

Purpose Reporting on triple bottom line (TBL) practices has emerged as an essential aspect in banking sector due to evolving social and environmental concerns. Engaging in social and environmental activities is a strategic means to uphold dynamic alliances with stakeholders and eventually attain sustainable development. Furthermore, perception towards social and environmental practices is strategic to satisfy stakeholders’ interests. This paper aims to examine managers’ perception about reporting on social-environmental performance and its impact on financial performance (FP) in Indian banking sector. Research further assesses moderating effect of gender and experience in influencing the relationship between the constructs and also determines importance and performance of the constructs. Design/methodology/approach A well-structured questionnaire was distributed to 400 bank managers across India’s public, private, regional-rural, foreign and cooperative banks. The collected data were analysed through Smart PLS structural equation modelling. The moderating effect of demographics of bank managers in influencing the relationship was assessed using PLS-multi-group analysis (MGA). Besides, importance performance map analysis (IPMA) was used to understand the importance and performance of the constructs. Findings Findings indicate that bank managers believe that social and environmental activities strengthen relations between banks and stakeholders, resulting in better FP, thereby endorsing the stakeholder theory. Results of MGA suggest that gender and experience of bank managers are not effectual moderators in determining relationship between the constructs. Using IPMA, findings advocate that managers perceive environmental performance as a relatively high performance and a more important construct in influencing FP than social performance. Social implications Research would pave the way for banks to effectively communicate their commitment to sustainable development goals, engage stakeholders and demonstrate their commitment to creating positive social and environmental impacts. Furthermore, managerial perceptions can have a marked effect on customers’ understanding of social and environmental practices. This may influence customer satisfaction, conviction, commitment and constancy. Besides, a better understanding of the performance on social and environmental aspects over and above the FP of banks would facilitate the investors to make more informed and effectual decisions. Originality/value Considering the paucity of studies on the managerial perception of social and environmental activities and determining how the perception affects financial success, this study makes significant contribution to the literature. It would facilitate banks to design appropriate strategies and legislations to incorporate reporting on TBL practices for improved performance analysis. This would eventually ensure profitability along with sustainability in the Indian banking sector.

“An Analysis of Rangareddy District Central Co-operative Bank's Financial Performance”

Cooperative banks offer loans and other services to farmers and rural populations in a timely manner. However, the bank's operating efficiency and financial stability will be impacted by any loan repayment default. Funds are halted as a result of NPA, which lowers interest income and results in a cash shortage. Operating bank services, such as processing regular payments and dues, is undoubtedly made more difficult by this. Cooperative banks are currently under a lot of stress, which is resulting in decreased working profits as well as a decline in productivity and efficiency. It is a known truth that NPAs are rising and recoveries are poor. The paper's goal is to evaluate Rangareddy DCCB's claim of 0% Net NPA. As a result, a number of bank financial metrics are examined in the study. According to the current study paper's conclusion, farmers were able to obtain sufficient funding for crop cultivation thanks to the ongoing process of monitoring loan issuance and recovery efforts, which demonstrated a profitability in association with loan and non-performing asset provision.

Monetary Policy Instruments and Financial Performance of the Banking Industry in Kenya

The Kenyan banking sector has faced significant volatility in recent years, notably marked by a decline in Return on Assets (ROA). This decrease reflects the sector's struggles with rising inflation, currency depreciation, and increased non-performing loans. Economic uncertainties and tighter global monetary policies have compounded these challenges, resulting in a more unstable financial environment. This volatility underscores the sector's sensitivity to both domestic and international economic conditions. In response, this research aimed to investigate the effect of monetary policy instruments on the financial performance of banks in Kenya. The study sought to analyze the effect of lending rates, money supply, open market operations (OMO), and the Central Bank Rate (CBR) on banks' financial performance. Anchored on four relevant theories—the Loanable Funds Theory, Quantity Theory of Money, Keynesian Economics, and Zero Bound Theory. The research utilized a causal design and a multiple linear regression model. Covering all 42 banks operating in Kenya from January 2009 to December 2023, the study employed secondary data. The correlation analysis reveals significant relationships between the monetary policy instruments and the financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. Lending rates demonstrate a positive relationship with financial performance, suggesting that higher rates may benefit banks’ profitability. In contrast, both money supply and central bank rate show negative associations with financial performance, implying that increases in these variables might hinder profitability. Additionally, the analysis indicates a positive link between open market operations and bank performance, highlighting the varied effects of these monetary instruments on the banks' financial outcomes. Collectively, these insights underscore the interconnectedness of these monetary policy instruments and their impact on the financial performance of banks in Kenya. Given the complex interplay of these factors, policymakers should adopt a holistic view, regularly reviewing and adjusting policies to maintain economic stability while supporting a robust banking sector.

A Comparative Analysis of Board Qualities and Performance of Listed Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria and Ghana

Disclosure of board information is crucial for good governance, risk management, and stakeholder relations in the banking sector. The board of directors’ quality is crucial in setting strategic direction and ensuring effective governance. This study comparatively examined the qualities of the board of directors of listed deposit banks in Nigeria and Ghana and assessed the effects of the board qualities on the financial performance of banks in the two countries. The study used an ex post facto research design, involving 19 deposit money banks listed on the Nigerian Exchange Limited and Ghanaian Stock Exchange. Data was collected from audited annual reports and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The descriptive analysis includes mean, median mode, minimum, and maximum among others while the inferential analysis includes independent t-tests and panel regression. The study reveals that the board of listed deposit money banks in the Nigerian exchange group meets more frequently and is more independent than those in the Ghanaian stock exchange, and their board size is larger than in Ghana. Board female gender diversity of listed deposit money banks on the Nigerian exchange group is not significantly lower than the board female gender diversity of firms listed on the Ghanaian stock exchange. The study reveals that board gender diversity doesn’t significantly impact the financial performance of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria and Ghana. However, board independence has a negative effect in Nigeria, while board meetings negatively affect performance in Nigeria. Board size also has a positive effect in Nigeria. The study recommends that directors of listed banks in Nigeria should reduce the number of their meetings or expenses of the meeting because it is reducing the profitability of the companies. The study also recommends that the banks in Ghana should provide regular training for independent directors to enhance their understanding of the industry.

The Role of CSR in Improving Corporate Image and Financial Performance in the Banking Industry

Corporate Social Responsibility has an important role in improving the company's image and financial performance in the banking industry. Although many previous studies have shown a positive relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility and corporate performance, the phenomenon that has occurred shows that not all banks have experienced an improvement in financial performance despite having implemented Corporate Social Responsibility practices. This study aims to analyze the impact of Corporate Social Responsibility practices on public perception and financial performance of banks, with a focus on sustainability and social responsibility aspects. Using a quantitative approach, data is collected through surveys to customers as well as analysis of financial statements from several leading banks in Indonesia. The results of the study show that banks that are active in Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives tend to have a more positive image in the eyes of the public, which has implications for increasing customer loyalty and acquiring new customers. These findings indicate that a positive image built through Corporate Social Responsibility activities can increase customer trust, which is a key factor in their decision to choose a financial institution. In addition, the analysis showed a significant relationship between the implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility and improved financial performance, where banks that adopted good Corporate Social Responsibility practices showed higher profit growth and better financial stability. This study fills in the gaps in the existing literature by highlighting the factors that affect the success of Corporate Social Responsibility in the context of banking, as well as underlining the importance of Corporate Social Responsibility as an integral component in a business strategy oriented towards social responsibility and sustainability, contributing to broader economic growth and a better society.

Banking-as-a-service? American and European G-SIBs performance

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate how the implementation of digital banking services (mobile applications) by globally systemically important banks (G-SIBs) affects banks’ performance in the USA and Europe from 2005 to 2022.Design/methodology/approachThe study employs advanced econometric methods to analyze the link between deposits and banking performance, utilizing linear regressions and multivariate Bayesian regressions.FindingsOur results indicate that customer deposits positively impact a bank’s performance after the introduction of the mobile application feature of check deposits, whereas social risk negatively impacts banking financial performance. These findings support the hypothesis that technology implementation improves the profitability and growth of traditional banks.Research limitations/implicationsWhile findings are robust econometrically in linear and Bayesian regressions, variables reflecting the digitalization of banks remain limited. For instance, the number of mobile users or the volume of digital transactions per bank since the implementation of the mobile app is not available.Practical implicationsIn a rapidly growing technology and constantly changing customers behaviors, this research has practical implications from bankers’ perspective to continue the technological innovation efforts and from regulators’ perspective to strengthen requirements for the digital banking services.Social implicationsWe provide empirical evidence that including a banking app for smartphones’ users for remote banking services benefit the financial performance of banks. However, the social risk remains significant for banks in terms of customers' satisfaction, data privacy and cybersecurity.Originality/valueThis paper employs an innovative approach to create a mobile app “discriminatory” factor and examine the relationship between deposits and banks’ performance before and after the introduction of a mobile app for too-big-to-fail banks in Europe and the USA. Additionally, we consider the social risk component of the ESG score, as a bank’s decision to implement mobile applications and technology for its customers potentially affects social risks associated with customer satisfaction and technology usability.

Banking on ESG: How ownership influences financial outcomes in 5-ASEAN countries

This study investigates the effect of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) scores on bank performance in five Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines. This study aims to examine the effect of ESG scores on bank financial performance and investigate whether the influence of bank ownership can strengthen both. This study uses a sample of 26 banks in 5-ASEAN countries during 2016–2021. This amount is the result of data sorting conducted on 86 banks by adjusting to the research sample criteria. Using multiple linear regression analysis, this study shows that ESG scores have a significant positive effect on bank financial performance as measured by Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Price to Book Value (PBV). Furthermore, this study found that the positive impact of ESG scores on bank performance is stronger for state-owned banks compared to private banks. However, bank ownership does not affect the relationship between ESG scores and ROA. These findings suggest that law enforcement by the government through regulators plays an important role in encouraging banks to view ESG as a driving value to improve their performance.
