The relationship between net interest margin and return on assets of listed b...Alexander Decker
This study examined the relationship between net interest margin (NIM) and return on assets (ROA) of listed banks in Ghana from 2005-2011. It found a strong positive correlation between NIM and ROA, with NIM explaining 82.6% of the variation in ROA. Both NIM and ROA generally decreased over the period, though they increased between 2009-2010. The study also found a very strong positive relationship between net interest income and profit before tax, with net interest income explaining 99.8% of the variation in profit before tax. In conclusion, the ability of banks to generate net interest income was highly influential in determining their level of profitability.

This document summarizes a study that investigated the determinants of commercial bank lending behavior in Nigeria. The study aimed to test how common factors like deposits, investments, interest rates, reserve requirements, and liquidity ratios affect bank lending. Regression analysis found the model to be significant, with deposits having the greatest impact on lending. The study suggests banks focus on deposit mobilization to enhance lending performance and develop strategic plans.
This document discusses empirical research on the determinants of bank lending across countries. It proposes estimating equations to model domestic credit levels based on bank balance sheet and capital requirements approaches. The analysis will use data from 146 countries over 1990-2013 to examine how economic growth, banking system health, and external capital flows influence domestic credit after controlling for other factors. Key determinants expected to impact credit include deposits, interest rates, costs, capital levels, and macroeconomic conditions.
Analysis Of The Effect Of Capital, Credit Risk and Profitability To Implementation Banking Intermediation Function(Study On Regional Development Bank All Over Indonesia Year 2012 )
This document summarizes a study that uses a matched sample of individual loans, borrowers, and banks to investigate the effect of banks' financial health on the cost of loans for borrowers, while controlling for borrower risk and information costs. The key findings are:
1) Borrowers pay higher interest rates on loans from low-capital banks compared to well-capitalized banks, even after controlling for borrower risk.
2) This effect is most significant for borrowers where information costs are likely important.
3) When borrowing from weak banks, these high-information-cost borrowers tend to hold more cash, indicating costs to switching lenders.

This thesis investigates the determinants of lending behavior among commercial banks in Ethiopia. The author conducted a case study of eight commercial banks over the period of 2001 to 2013. Through a panel data regression analysis, the author found that deposit volume and bank size had a positive and significant impact on loans and advances. Liquidity ratio and interest rate had a negative and significant impact. Cash reserve requirements and inflation rate had a positive impact, though the relationship was unexpected. GDP growth did not have a statistically significant impact. The study suggests commercial banks focus on deposit mobilization to enhance lending.

The document discusses a study that investigates the determinants of bank lending behavior in Ghana. Using an econometric model, the study finds that bank size, capital structure, and competition have a positive relationship with bank lending, while macroeconomic indicators like interest rates and exchange rates negatively impact lending. The study contributes to understanding how bank-specific, macroeconomic, and industry factors influence bank lending decisions in an emerging market context like Ghana.
This document summarizes a research paper that assesses the factors contributing to non-performing loans in Kenyan banks. It discusses how non-performing loans negatively impact bank profitability, liquidity, and stability. It outlines the research objectives, which are to identify the key factors leading to bad loans in Kenya, establish the effects of non-performing loans on banks, analyze trends in bad loans before and after the introduction of credit reference bureaus, and determine efforts to reduce risks from non-performing assets. The significance of studying non-performing loans for policymakers, banks, and future research is also mentioned.
This document summarizes a research paper that analyzed the determinants of credit risk in the Indonesian banking industry. Specifically, it examined how bank-specific variables like bank size, profitability, capital adequacy, and ownership structure influence the level of non-performing loans (NPL), which is used as a measure of credit risk. The document reviews several previous studies that also analyzed the relationship between credit risk and bank-specific factors in other countries. It then outlines the methodology that will be used in the research, including the data collection and analysis methods.
This document summarizes a theoretical model examining the effects of small regional banks on local economic growth. The model shows that small regional banks are more effective than large interregional banks at promoting economic growth in underdeveloped regions. This is because small regional banks have lower screening and monitoring costs of local borrowers compared to large banks. The model is then empirically tested using bank and regional economic data from Germany, finding that small regional banks play an important role in enhancing economic development in less developed German regions.

It found that liquidity has a statistically significant and positive relationship with bank profitability.
How corporate diversification affects excess value and excess profitabilityAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a study that examined the relationship between excess value and excess profitability among deposit money banks in Nigeria from 1998-2007. The study used regression and correlation analyses of accounting data from 18 sampled banks. The analyses revealed a positive and statistically significant correlation, indicating a relationship between excess value and excess profitability for both diversified and standalone banks. Prior literature on the costs and benefits of corporate diversification was reviewed. The study aimed to measure this relationship for Nigerian banks and hypothesized no significant relationship, which the analyses did not support.
This document discusses principles for reorienting regional/local banks towards sustainability. It outlines that sustainable finance has two expressions: socially responsible investment that integrates environmental, social and governance factors; and sustainable banking that considers a bank's social and environmental impacts through its lending and investments. The document examines international sustainable responsible investment principles and how they filter down to smaller banks. It also analyzes case studies of sustainable banks and factors that help or hinder their success, such as regulations, market interests, and internal willingness to change. Overall, the document finds that sustainable banks have potential to create public value and positively influence their communities through stable, ethical products secured by savings rather than speculation.

Universal basis of bank failure – the nigeria caseAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a study on the causes of bank failures in Nigeria. It begins with an abstract that outlines how bank failures can have widespread negative economic impacts. It then reviews the literature on theoretical causes of bank failures, which include deteriorating economic conditions, poor regulation of banking activities, government deposit insurance schemes, and regulations that place ceilings on deposit interest rates. The document examines how each of these factors can create incentives for risky bank behavior and reduce monitoring of banks, thereby contributing to failures. It provides examples of bank failure costs from several African countries to illustrate the economic impacts.
Impact analysis of interest rate on the net assets of multinational businesse...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a research study that examined the impact of interest rates on the net assets of multinational businesses in Nigeria from 1995 to 2010. A regression model was used to analyze the relationship between net asset value index and interest rates based on financial data from 7 randomly sampled multinational companies. The regression analysis showed that increases in interest rates resulted in reductions in net assets. Therefore, interest rates provide important information for multinational companies about profitability and maintaining the right debt-equity mix to remain competitive.
OECD Working Paper - Investor Relations & CommunicationsDavid McAlister
The survey of 26 OECD countries found that while most do not have a dedicated investor relations function, all perform some IR activities. These activities have generally expanded over time from an initial focus on increasing demand to now include diversifying investor bases and tailoring communications. Countries consult stakeholders like primary dealers when designing their IR approach and refer to best practice guidelines. The evolution of IR continues, with some countries now exploring ways to better gather information from investors.
This document compares the financial performance of ANZ Bank and Commonwealth Bank (CBA) in 2015 based on analysis of their annual reports and key financial ratios. It finds that while CBA outperformed ANZ in terms of profitability, as measured by its higher return on equity ratio of 17.75% compared to ANZ's 14.08%, further analysis of additional financial ratios is needed to understand the drivers of each bank's performance. It analyzes various ratios related to profitability, expenses, assets, interest rates, and efficiency and concludes that overall CBA's performance was better than ANZ's in 2015 due to factors such as higher financial leverage and return on assets as well as better management of earnings and expenses.

The purpose of this study is to measure the impact of penetration of foreign banks in the Indonesian banking industry. The measured effects are limited to competition and efficiency during the years 2000-2011, during which was a recovery from the economic crisis in Indonesia. Panzar-Rosse measures the competition and Conjectural Variation approaches. The efficiency is measured by the Standard Profit Efficiency approach. By using panel regression method with SUR (Seemingly Unrelated Regression), we found that penetration of foreign banks will increase competition and efficiency of banking in Indonesia, especially to medium and small banks through spillover effect on domestic banking system. The increase in total assets, total loans and the amount of third party funds held by foreign banks in Indonesia will increase competition and efficiency of banks in Indonesia.
Credit Risk and Financial Performance of Commercial Banks in Kenyarobert siriba
This document discusses a study on the relationship between credit risk and financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya from 2014-2018. It provides background on credit risk and how it can be measured using non-performing loans, loan loss provisions, and loans and advances. The study found that non-performing loans and loan loss provision had non-significant negative effects on bank profitability, while loans and advances had a significant positive impact. The document reviews relevant literature and theories around credit risk and financial performance.
1. The document discusses modern banking strategies for managing risk and selecting profitable investment portfolios. It addresses questions about optimal portfolio structure in variable interest rate environments, appropriate banking products, and successful risk management.
2. Banks can calculate expected returns on asset groups to inform investment decisions, though some may prefer lower risk assets even with similar expected returns. Duration matching of assets and liabilities can help mitigate interest rate risk.
3. Banks employ tools like gap analysis, repricing schedules, and derivatives to manage their exposure to interest rate movements and ensure accurate understanding of risks from their asset-liability mix. Portfolio structure and risk management techniques are crucial for banks' financial stability and performance.
This document provides background information on a study about the effects of inflation on the profitability of commercial banks in Uganda. It discusses inflation and how it can reduce purchasing power. It also defines key terms like interest rates, lending, and consumer price index. The problem statement indicates that despite financial reforms, commercial bank performance in Uganda has remained poor due to high inflation, interest rates, and exchange rate volatility. The specific objectives are to determine the effects of exchange rates, interest rates, and consumer price index on bank profitability. The significance is that bank management can use the study to understand inflation's impacts and develop strategies to handle its effects.
The document discusses the reserve for bad debts, also known as the allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL). It is a valuation reserve established by banks to estimate amounts from loans and leases that may be uncollectible. The higher the provision for loan losses, the lower the bank's net operating income. The document also discusses proposed changes by the IASB and FASB to move from an incurred loss model for recognizing loan losses to an expected loss model.
Market Practice Series (Credit Losses Modeling)Yahya Kamel
The Central Bank of Egypt “CBE” has adopted IFRS in year 2008. In specific IAS 39 has a discussion about implementing a model that can derive the incurred credit losses for a pool of receivables/ loans, which was quite open for market development & practical initiatives.
From the part of the CBE, it has adopted same approach, which led to some wide different market practices, logic, and interpretations, which sometimes have been questionable on a wide scale basis!
So, I've thought to develop some sort of materials that can serve as a practical guidance for quantifying the credit risk, using different simple models, based on Basel II definitions of the risk components.
The intended users of this material are the credit risk professionals who conduct risk analysis, implement risk management policies, or/and are in charge of quantifying the credit risk for a loan portfolio (corporate & retail).
Also, other professionals or officers complying with IFRS, or CBE GAAP.

The document provides an introduction to credit portfolio modeling and management. It discusses [1] why banks need to estimate and hold capital to protect against unexpected credit losses, [2] an overview of several common credit portfolio models used in the industry, and [3] the development of a simple in-house credit portfolio model for estimating economic capital. The model is intended to help banks better understand and manage the unexpected loss of their credit portfolios.
This document provides an overview of credit risk management practices from a banker's perspective. It discusses the key types of banking risks including credit, market, and operational risk. It describes credit risk measurement techniques such as credit scoring models and models based on stock prices. It also outlines the importance of internal credit risk rating processes and how rating systems can be used for risk-based pricing, portfolio management, and capital allocation. Finally, it discusses lessons learned from bank failures during the financial crisis, including the need for effective liquidity and balance sheet management and stress testing.
The document discusses 10 important banking metrics for evaluating bank performance and value. It defines each metric and provides details on what numbers are considered good. Return on equity measures profitability and banks generally want to see over 10%. Return on assets also measures profitability but doesn't reflect leverage like return on equity. Net interest margin shows how much a bank earns from its invested assets. The efficiency ratio measures operating expenses to see if a bank is a low-cost operator.
The document discusses trends in credit risk management due to commoditization of credit risk. It identifies key drivers changing the traditional view of credit from illiquid to liquid and tradeable. This will require reengineering credit functions from static to dynamic credit risk management. Banks may shift focus from holding risk to originating and distributing risk through various models like securitization. The implications are operational changes to credit processes and strategic changes to business focus.

Financial performance is one of the most critical factors having impact on the decision making of the resource providers. And thus to ensure the existence in the ever growing competitive business environment, every institution should be more concerned about the factors affecting their financial performance. This paper specially focuses on identifying the factors having impact on the financial performance of the commercial banks operating in Bangladesh. An effort has also been exerted to determine whether the extent of influence of various factors on financial performance varies with respect to local private and nationalized commercial banks. For this purpose 10 local private commercial banks (PCB) and all nationalized commercial banks (NCB) have been taken covering the period from 2008-2014. Here, data has been collected from the annual reports of the banks under consideration. To draw conclusion a multiple regression has been run by considering financial performance (profitability) as dependent variable and operating efficiency, asset utilization , liquidity, credit risk, capital adequacy and size of the company as independent variables. The study finds that asset utilization and operating efficiency have significant positive impact on banks' financial performance (profitability) whereas credit risk has significant negative impact. However, for PCBs asset utilization is the most critical factor to performance. On the other hand, result shows that in case of NCB 1 taka increase in credit risk is responsible for negative return of 0.968 taka. It is found that financial performance has no significant relationship with size and liquidity of the banks
Liquidity, capital adequacy and operating efficiency of commercial banks in k...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a research journal article that examines the effect of liquidity and capital adequacy on the operating efficiency of commercial banks in Kenya. Specifically, it analyzes how bank liquidity ratios and capital adequacy ratios impact operational efficiency. The study found that the previous year's operational efficiency, liquid assets to short-term liabilities ratio, and total capital ratio positively and significantly affect bank operating efficiency. Regression analysis showed that 41.08% of banks' operational efficiency is explained by the study variables. Therefore, banks should focus on improving liquidity ratios and capital ratios to enhance operating efficiency.
A Comparison of Key Determinants on Profitability of India’s Largest Public a...Rajveer Rawlin
The banking sector in India has come under the scanner following some key changes in monetary policy. With
the Reserve bank of India (RBI) raising interest rates to support the falling Indian currency the Rupee, the cost of
funds of banks has increased significantly. This could manifest itself in rising non-performing assets (NPAs) and
declining profitability. The profitability of banks is impacted by both internal and external factors. This paper is
an attempt to compare the key drivers of profits at India’s largest public and private sector banks. Bank specific
metrics and risk factors were important drivers of profits at both banks. Productivity measures were key drivers
of profits at India’s largest public sector bank SBI but had no effect on profits at India’s largest private sector
bank, HDFC bank. Asset usage efficiency measures were key determinants of profitability at HDFC bank but not
at SBI. The single most important determinant of SBI proved to be business per employee, a productivity
measure while advances and bank size which are traditional bank metrics were key drivers of profits at HDFC
bank. Managers at both banks and their share holders thus can look at these drivers to develop a broad
understanding of profitability at the two banks.

This document summarizes a study that examines the bank-specific, industry-specific, and macroeconomic factors that influence interest rate spreads in Ghanaian commercial banks from 1990 to 2010. The study uses data from 33 commercial banks over this 21-year period. Key findings include that interest rate spreads are significantly influenced by bank ownership, management efficiency, GDP per capita, and government securities. Government borrowing also influences spreads but has a negative effect. The paper aims to identify important determinants of interest rate spreads for central banks, commercial banks, and economic managers in Ghana.
Finance companies, central bank of nigeria and economic developmentAlexander Decker
This document summarizes an empirical study that examines the relationship between Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) regulatory activities, finance house activities, and economic development in Nigeria from 1992-2010. It uses gross domestic product (GDP) as a measure of economic development and proxies CBN activities with minimum paid up capital and shareholders fund, and finance house activities with domestic credit and total assets. The study finds that a significant relationship exists between finance house activities and economic development, but that CBN regulatory activities have no significant relationship with finance house operations. It recommends policies to encourage existing finance houses and license new ones to better support Nigeria's overall economy.
The profitability of commercial banks is influenced by a number of internal and external factors. This paper attempts to identify the internal factors which significantly influence the profitability of commercial banks in Bangladesh. In this study, profitability is measured by ROA and ROE which may be significantly influenced by the internal factors such as IRS, NIM, CAR, CR, DG, LD, CTI and SIZE of the bank. Data are collected from published annual reports during 2014--2018 of 23 commercial banks. Using simple regression model, it is found that CR has significant effect on the profitability and CAR has significant influence on ROA only. In addition to this, DG has significant effects on PCBs’ profitability (ROE only) where as IRS and CTI have significant influence on profitability (ROA only) of ICBs. Further, none of these variables have significant effects on the profitability of SCBs but CAR and CR are correlated with profitability (ROA only) and the causes may be the nature of services provided by SCBs to its clients. The internal policy makers should manage the influential internal factors of the banks in order to increase their profitability so that they can meet stakeholders’ expectations.
This study examined the effect of interest rate deregulation on Nigerian banking system. The study adopted Augmented Dickey – Fuller (ADF), Bound test and Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL). The correlation result indicated that of the correlation matrix that all the explanatory variables (interest rate, lending rate and deposit rate) had effect on loan and advances. The results of the unit root test revealed that interest rate and lending rate were stationary at level 1(0) while loan and advances and deposit rate were stationary at first difference 1(1). Also the results of the bound test revealed that there exist long run equilibrium relationship among the variables. The result of the ARDL indicated that interest rate had significant effect on loan and advances while lending rate and deposit rate had an insignificant effect on loan and advances. It was concluded that banks should monitor the level of loan and advances in respect to major ratios for effective performance. The study thus, recommended that banks should monitor lending rate which should be fixed in order to enhance lending performance. Regulatory authority should ensure that macroeconomic variables such as money supply, liquidity ratio, lending rate, monetary policy rate are effectively managed to enhance bank performance.
Characteristics of Nigerian Deposit Money Banks and Their Financial Outcomeijtsrd
The purpose of this research was to examine the connections between DMB profitability and various company characteristics in Nigeria. This study used panel data regression to evaluate five hypotheses on how market share, liquidity, credit risk, interest rate spread, and leverage affect bank profitability. Secondary data was gathered from the financial statements of the 19 deposit money banks listed on the international and local markets of the Nigerian Stock Exchange NSE between 2012 and 2021. The success of Nigerian banks is strongly influenced by their market share, liquidity, interest rate spread, and leverage. There was a connection between credit risk and ROA, however it was weak and not statistically significant. The report recommended that the Central Bank of Nigeria CBN create policies to enable banks increase their market share, rather than seeking to limit the number of firms in the banking sector.

This document examines the determinants of commercial bank profitability in Nigeria from 2000-2013 using panel data regression. It finds that asset quality, management efficiency, and economic growth are statistically significant determinants of profitability. Asset quality, in particular, is highly significant, concluding that credit risk is a major determinant of bank profitability. The study aims to assist bank regulators and managers in Nigeria to better understand factors influencing profitability and improve policies. It reviews theories and prior empirical research on determinants of bank profitability, such as capital adequacy, asset composition, regulation, and ownership structure.
This document analyzes the performance and competitive position of state-owned commercial banks in Bangladesh from 2009-2012. It finds that while these banks have achieved stable growth in deposits, loans, and branches, they have struggled to improve key financial metrics like net profit, returns, and reducing non-performing loans. Trend analysis found positive growth in some areas but negative trends or low correlation for other financial indicators. The study aims to evaluate these banks' performance, conduct competitive analysis, and provide recommendations for improvement. Secondary data is used from annual reports and other sources to analyze metrics and compare the four largest state-owned commercial banks in Bangladesh.
Asset liability management and commercial banks profitability in ethiopiaAlexander Decker
The document examines the effect of asset liability management (ALM) on the profitability of commercial banks in Ethiopia. It uses a statistical cost accounting (SCA) model to analyze the relationship between banks' profitability, measured by return on assets (ROA), and their balance sheet items like loans, deposits and other assets/liabilities. The analysis finds that most assets positively impact profitability while liabilities generally have a negative effect. It also incorporates macroeconomic variables like GDP growth and inflation, finding GDP has a negative influence on bank profits. The study aims to help banks and policymakers better understand factors affecting bank performance in Ethiopia's developing financial system.
Volume of Deposits, A determinant of Total Long-term Loans Advanced by Commer...iosrjce
Commercial banks have exponentially increased their total loans advanced over the period 2002-
2013. However commercial banks in Kenya have shown varying long term lending behavior. The main objective
of this study was to establish the effect of determinants of long term lending in the Kenyan banking industry, a
case of Bungoma County. This study was guided by the following specific objective; to determine the effect of
volume of deposit on total loan advanced, of selected commercial banks in Kenya. The target population
comprised 13 commercial banks in Bungoma County with a sample size of 52 respondents. From the findings,
for every unit increase in volume of deposits, a 10.9%, unit increase in total loans advanced is predicted. The
model hypothesizes that there is functional relationship between the dependent variable and the independent
variable. The study then recommends that commercial banks should focus on mobilizing more deposits as this
will enhance their lending performance.
This document discusses a study analyzing the financial performance of selected private sector banks in Bangladesh in light of capital levels. The study examines the impact of factors like total capital/assets, risk-weighted assets, core capital/assets, equity capital/assets, and cost income ratio on the banks' returns on assets and equity. Annual data from 2008-2012 for three banks was used in multiple regression analysis. The study aims to determine if capital adequacy and cost income ratio influence bank profitability, and if Basel II requirements have been effective in reducing non-performing loans and bankruptcy risks in Bangladeshi banks. Previous literature suggests capital adequacy can impact lending, performance, and bankruptcy risk, but markets may better determine optimal capital levels.

This document summarizes a study on the determinants of savings in Namibia from 1991 to 2012. It reviews previous literature on savings determinants in developing countries. The study uses time series analysis including unit root tests, cointegration, and error correction models to analyze the relationship between savings and variables like income, inflation, population growth, deposit rates, and financial deepening in Namibia. The results found inflation and income have a positive impact on savings, while population growth negatively impacts savings. Deposit rates and financial deepening were found to have no significant impact. The study reinforces previous work and emphasizes the importance of improving income levels to achieve higher savings rates in Namibia.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

Confirmation of Payee (CoP) is a vital security measure adopted by financial institutions and payment service providers. Its core purpose is to confirm that the recipient’s name matches the information provided by the sender during a banking transaction, ensuring that funds are transferred to the correct payment account.
Confirmation of Payee was built to tackle the increasing numbers of APP Fraud and in the landscape of UK banking, the spectre of APP fraud looms large. In 2022, over £1.2 billion was stolen by fraudsters through authorised and unauthorised fraud, equivalent to more than £2,300 every minute. This statistic emphasises the urgent need for robust security measures like CoP. While over £1.2 billion was stolen through fraud in 2022, there was an eight per cent reduction compared to 2021 which highlights the positive outcomes obtained from the implementation of Confirmation of Payee. The number of fraud cases across the UK also decreased by four per cent to nearly three million cases during the same period; latest statistics from UK Finance.
In essence, Confirmation of Payee plays a pivotal role in digital banking, guaranteeing the flawless execution of banking transactions. It stands as a guardian against fraud and misallocation, demonstrating the commitment of financial institutions to safeguard their clients’ assets. The next time you engage in a banking transaction, remember the invaluable role of CoP in ensuring the security of your financial interests.

Abstract
The banking sector in any economy serves as a catalyst for growth and development. Banks are able to perform
this role through their crucial functions of financial intermediation, provision of an efficient payment system and
facilitating the implementation of monetary policies. Bank profitability is usually expressed as a function of
internal and external determinants. The overall performance and profitability of the banking sector in Kenya has
improved tremendously over the last 10 years. The aim of this study was to close the gap in knowledge by
investigating profitability determinants within commercial banks in Kenya. The determinants studied were loan
portfolio, interest expense, and administration costs and assets value. A descriptive survey design was employed
in this study. The population of the study was the management employees working for commercial banks in
Kenya. The sample was accessed by use of both stratified and simple random sampling. A questionnaire was
used to gather the primary information. The questionnaires were self-administered and were served to the
respondents by self-introduction. Research assistants were used to follow up on duly completed questionnaires.
Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) was used to analyse primary data while the SAS v.6 of 2009 was
used to analyse the secondary data gathered from the banks. Findings of the study showed that public sector
banks and private sector banks were not much affected by increasing or decreasing of interest margin. It can
therefore be interpreted that the profitability growth of public and private sector banks are not dependent on
fluctuation of interest rate although the foreign banks have the benefit of high return due to increase or decrease
in interest margin.

1.0 Background
As financial intermediaries, banks play an important role in the operation of an economy. Banks are the sole
providers of funds, and their stability is of paramount importance to the financial system. As such, an
understanding of determinants of their profitability is essential and crucial to the stability of the economy
(Babalola, 2012). The banking sector in any economy serves as a catalyst for growth and development. Banks
are able to perform this role through their crucial functions of financial intermediation, provision of an efficient
payment system and facilitating the implementation of monetary policies (Abreu, 2002). The stream of bank
failures experienced in the USA during the great depression of the 1940s prompted considerable attention to
bank performance. This attention has grown ever since then (Heffernan, 2005).
The recent global financial crisis of 2007/2009, also demonstrated the importance of bank performance both in
national and international economies and the need to keep it under surveillance at all times. Aburime (2008)
argued that the importance of banks is more pronounced in developing countries because financial markets are
usually underdeveloped, and banks are typically the only major source of finance for the majority of firms and
are usually the main depository of economic savings (Tobias and Themba, 2011). It is not surprising therefore,
that governments over the world, attempt to evolve an efficient banking system, not only for the promotion of
efficient intermediation, but also for the protection of depositors, encouragement of efficient competition,
maintenance of confidence and stability of the system and protection against systemic risk and collapse
(Babalola, 2012)
During the last decades the banking sector has experienced worldwide major transformations in its operating
environment. Both external and domestic factors have affected its structure and performance. Despite the
increased trend toward bank disintermediation observed in many countries, the role of banks remains central in
financing economic activity in general and different segments of the market in particular (Brock and Franken,
2002).
In today’s economic environment, achieving improved performance and efficiency in public and private sector
banking institutions has been prioritized more than ever before. Banking organizations aim at achieving these
with the objective of improving competitiveness, delivering better service, and reducing costs. It is against such a
background that organizations around the world have prioritized achieving heightened performance and
efficiency with such goals in perspective. To achieve milestones in profitability increments, commercial banks
should understand and address the determinants of their profitability. Only when these determinants are
understood, can organizations be able to tackle the matter of profits improvement (Demirguc-Kunt and Huizinga,
2000 and Goddard, 2004).

The determinants of profitability are empirically well explored although the definition of profitability varies
among studies. Disregarding the profitability measures, most of the banking studies have noticed that the capital
ratio, loan-loss provisions, interest rates and expense control are important factors in achieving high profitability.
Bank profitability is usually expressed as a function of internal and external determinants. The internal
determinants originate from bank accounts (balance sheets and/or profit and loss accounts) and therefore could
be termed micro or bank-specific determinants of profitability. According to Babalola (2012), the external
determinants are variables that are not related to bank management but reflect the economic and legal
environment that affects the operation and performance of financial institutions. Profitability, solvency, and
liquidity are the three most important goals of any business; profitability is the most important one. As a goal,
profit isn't always understood well. Sometimes it is confused with cash flow. Sometimes it is confused with the
highest income or the lowest cost. In rough terms, profitability is income minus expense. Ideally the difference is
positive and large.
Administrative/ operating expenses represent an element that is as important as the precedents in determining the
level of bank profitability. Controlling operating costs is closely related to the concept of managerial efficiency
or productive efficiency. Studies in this regard show a positive relationship between the quality of management
and the level of profits. For instance, Athanasoglou et al. (2008) found a positive relationship between efficiency
and performance of Greek banks. This result is explained by the fact that efficient banks are those able to use
their resources appropriately and to reduce costs, resulting in better performance. This result was confirmed by
Liu et al. (2010) who found a negative relation between cost ratios and revenue performance of Japanese banks
(Ahmad and Jamal, 2012).
The capital strength of a bank is of paramount importance in affecting its profitability. A well-capitalised bank is
perceived to be of lower risk and such an advantage will be translated into higher profitability. On the other hand,
the asset quality, as measured by the loan-loss provisions, affects the performance of banks adversely. Size is
used to capture the fact that larger banks are better placed than smaller banks in harnessing economies of scale in
transactions to the plain effect that they will tend to enjoy a higher level of profits. Consequently, a positive
relationship is expected between size and profits. Bikker and Hu (2002) and Goddard et al. (2004) find size to be
positively related to profitability.
The impact of interest rate on bank’s profits operates via two main channels of the revenues side. First, a rise in
interest rate scales up the amount of income a bank earns on new assets that it acquires. But, the speed of
revenue adjustment will be a function of speed of interest rate adjustment. Second, the effect hinges on the
amount of loans and securities held. Indeed, in case of rising interest rates, rates on loans are higher than
marketable securities so that strong incentives prevail for banks to have more loans rather than buying securities.
While Molyneux and Thornton (1992) and Demirgüç-Kunt and Huizinga (1999) indicate a positive relationship
between interest rate and bank profitability, Naceur (2003) identifies a negative relationship.
1.1 Commercial Banking Sector in Kenya
There are currently 43 commercial banks in the country, 1 mortgage finance company, 6 deposit taking
microfinance institutions, 4 representative offices of foreign banks, 112 foreign exchange bureaus and 2 credit
reference bureaus. As at the end of March 2012, there was KES 2.1 trillion held as assets in the Kenyan banking
Sector with loans and advances of about KES 1.2 trillion. The deposit base stood at KES 1.6 trillion and the
profit before tax of the sector in general stood at KES 24.7 billion as at 31st
March 2012. As at the end of March,
the number of customer deposit accounts stood at 14.36 million while the loan accounts stood at 2.032 million
accounts (Central Bank of Kenya, 2012)
Comparatively, the banking sector’s aggregate balance sheet expanded by 5% in the quarter from KES 2 trillion
in December 2011 to KES 2.1 trillion in March 2012. Gross loans and advances in the sector grew from KES
1.19 trillion in December 2011 to KES 1.24 trillion, about to 4.2% in growth. Deposits were the main source of
funding for the banking sector. The deposit base rose by 4.7% from KES 1.49 trillion in December 2011 to KES
1.56 trillion in March 2012, the growth attributed to branch expansion, increased remittances and receipts from
exports. The banking sector’s recorded pre-tax profit of KES 24.7 billion for the quarter was a 5.4% decrease
from the KES 26.1 billion recorded in the quarter ending in December 2011. Total income in the year stood at
KES 88.4 billion in the first quarter of 2012, an 8.9% increase in income from the KES 81.2 billion registered in
the fourth quarter of 2011 (CBK,2012).
Central Bank of Kenya expects the banking sector to sustain its growth momentum largely driven by adoption of
cost effective delivery channels and increased presence of Kenyan banks in the East African Community partner
states and South Sudan. The risks of inflation and the resulting high interest rates are expected to reduce in the
course of the year (CBK, 2012).
According to Themba (2011) the overall performance and profitability of the banking sector in Kenya has
improved tremendously over the last 10 years. Despite the overall good picture a critical analysis indicates that,
not all banks are profitable. The huge profitability enjoyed by the large banks vis-a-avis the small and a medium

bank indicates that there are some significant factors that influence the performance of commercial banks.
Flamini et al (2009) and other several studies have shown that bank profitability is determined by bank-specific
factors and industry specific factors.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
The focus on the determinants of profitability for the banking sector of a specific country is underscored by
virtue of the fact that most countries have a bank-based financial system. As financial intermediaries, banks play
an important role in the operation of an economy. This is particularly true in the case of Kenya, where banks
have over time played an increasing role as the providers of funds, particularly to all sectors of the economy,
including the informal sector. Their stability is of paramount importance to the financial system. As such, an
understanding of determinants of their profitability is essential and crucial to the stability of the economy. The
empirical literature on determinants of bank profitability is extensive. Most of the banking studies; Goaied
(2001); Naceur (2003); Athanasoglou et al., (2005) and Aburime (2008), have noticed that the operating
expenses, loan provisions, asset value (capital ratios) and interest rates are important factors in achieving high
profitability
Tobias and Themba (2011) and Ravallion (2009) recommend for more detailed country specific studies on what
influences bank profitability and performance. Commercial banks in Kenya are known to record high levels of
profitability even when other segments of the business sector perform dismally, hence the need for this study.
2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Loan Portfolio and Profitability of Commercial Banks
It is needless to emphasize that one of the principal activities of commercial banks in is to grant loans to
borrowers. Loans are among the highest yielding assets a bank can add to its balance sheet, and they provide the
largest portion of operating revenue. In this respect, the banks are faced with liquidity risk since loans are
advanced from funds deposited by customers. Hamisu, (2011) notes that credit creation involves huge risks to
both the lender and the borrower. The risk of a trading partner not fulfilling his or her obligation as per the
contract on due date or anytime thereafter can greatly jeopardize the smooth functioning of bank’s business. On
the other hand, a bank with high credit risk has high bankruptcy risk that puts the depositors in jeopardy.
In a bid to survive and maintain adequate profit level in this highly competitive environment, banks have tended
to take excessive risks. But then the increasing tendency for greater risk taking has resulted in insolvency and
failure of a large number of the banks. However, the higher the volume of loans extended the higher the interest
income and hence the profit potentials for the commercial banks. At this point, it is also worth noting that banks
with a high volume of loans will also be faced with higher liquidity risk. Thus, the commercial banks need to
strike a balance between liquidity and profitability (Devinaga, 2010).
Owojori et al (2011) highlighted that available statistics from liquidated banks in Nigeria clearly showed that
inability to collect loans and advances extended to customers and directors or companies related to
directors/managers was a major contributor to the distress of the liquidated banks. At the height of the distress in
1995, when 60 out of the 115 operating banks were distressed, the ratio of the distressed banks’ non-performing
loans and leases to their total loans and leases was 67%. The ratio deteriorated to 79% in 1996; to 82% in 1997;
and by December 2002, the licenses of 35 of the distressed banks had been revoked. At the time, the banking
licenses were revoked, some of the banks had ratios of performing credits that were less than 10% of loan
portfolios (Hamisu, 2011).
2.2 Interest Expense and Profitability of Commercial Banks
Interest expenses and interest income, affect net interest income and hence bank profitability. In view of this,
interest rates have also been considered as determinants of bank profitability in most bank research. Furthermore,
local monetary policies and supply and demand conditions affect interest rates. When interest rates fluctuate as
result of changes in monetary policy or general economic conditions, commercial banks usually encounter a
comparative change in the rate of return they earn on their assets. This occurs because banks hold many assets of
relatively short maturity, and the rates booked on short-period loans fluctuate quickly when interest rates
fluctuate. The only components of a banks’ investment portfolio that will not encounter rapidly falling yields
when interest rates decrease are specifically: consumer loans, fixed-rate, mortgage loans, rates on bank credit
card loans, business term loans, long period investment securities, real assets, such as rental offices in the bank
building. Consequently, even the longer -period components of a bank’s assets portfolio are susceptible to yield
declines when market interest rates fall, although their yields fall more gradually than short-period yields
(Devinaga, 2010).
The interest rate spread is defined as the ratio of net interest income (banks interest income – banks interest
expenses) to total assets3. This mark-up reflects the bank’s interest profitability that covers the cost of
intermediation which, according to the industrial organization point of view, is the difference between the price
of bank intermediation and the cost of its output. In fact, this margin should reflect a bank specific component,

an information premium for assessing and monitoring investments, market structure and a premium for
managing risks Alicia et al (2007).
English (2002) examines the impact of risk arising from interest rate changes on bank interest margin. His results
obtained for a panel of international banks from ten industrialized countries suggest that commercial banks were
able to manage their exposure to the volatility of yield curve. Therefore, changes in rates did not have
consequences on bank interest margin level.
2.3 Administrative costs and Profitability of Commercial Banks
According to Ahmad and Jamal, (2012), administrative/ operating expenses represent an element that is as
important as the other determinants herein in determining the level of bank profitability. Controlling operating
costs is closely related to the concept of managerial efficiency or productive efficiency. Operating expenses are
defined in the OECD Bank Bulletin (1987), as including all expenses relating to the ordinary and regular
banking business other than interest expenses, fee and commission expenses, provisions, income taxes and
computer programming and equipment maintenance costs. Thus, operating costs comprises all expenses related
to the use of physical and labor factors. Since these expenditures are management controllable expenses, and if
controlled properly, can contribute positively to the generation of operating revenue (Devinaga, 2010).
Administrative expenses as percent of total assets may have a positive or negative impact on profits. Lack of
competence in expenses management in a bank eventually results in poor profitability for the bank. When
administrative costs are managed properly, an increase in expenses will increase the interest margin of a bank
and raise income. Negativity in administration costs could also indicate a bank’s inability to pass its expenses to
customers because of the competition. If the bank fails to pass on the cost to the consumers, the profitability of
the bank will be at a higher chance of decreasing (Ahmad and Jamal, 2012).
2.4 Asset Value and Profitability of Commercial Banks
A bank’s revenue is basically generated from its assets. However, it is worth nothing that not all assets generate
revenue. Thus, the assets of a bank can basically be classified as income or revenue generating and non-income
generating. The evaluation of assets quality undoubtedly is a very important task for every bank. Real life
experience shows that low quality assets are the most common reason of bank bankruptcy. Thus, by
continuously evaluating the quality of its assets, it is possible to forecast the sustainability of the bank and timely
avert a lot of problems (Nazir, 2010).
An important prerequisite for the stability and profitability of a bank is the management of the structure of bank
assets. Therefore, it is the aim of every bank's management to optimize the structure of assets (and liabilities)
with regard to the bank's specific business policy, and which determine its profit, as well as with regard to an
evaluation of the level of risk, which the bank is willing to bear, or respectively against which it has created
against sufficient reserves. An optimum structure of a bank's balance sheet ensures the maximization of a bank's
profit at the level of risk borne. The role of ordering the structure of assets is to manage the net interest margin,
mitigate the risk of interest rate changes, where presently these are one of the most serious risks to which
commercial banks are exposed (Liu et al,2010).
The sensitivity of assets to interest rate changes is an important issue. This sensitivity enables a bank to change
the structure of its assets so as to minimize the negative effect of a change in interest rates, or, conversely, to
exploit positive changes fully. Assets sensitive to interest rate changes include those reaching maturity in the
near future, assets with re-pricing, and a part of assets that are amortized over a defined time period
(Athanasoglouet al.2008).
Chijoriga (1997), cited in Xuezhi et al, (2012) noted that poor asset quality resulted in banking failure. Asset
quality in terms of credit risk results into the non-repayments of loans hence lower interest revenue but better
asset quality in terms of the lower percentage of non-performing loans results into higher profitability (Xuezhi,
2012). Poor asset quality should reduce profitability in as far as it limits the bank’s pool of loanable resources.
Such a priori is generally confirmed in developed countries5 but not always in emerging countries. Brock and
Suarez (2000), for example, show a negative relationship between bank spreads and NPLs over total loans for
most Latin American banking systems. They argue that this is due to distortions caused by inadequate regulation
that allow banks to report misstated loan losses. How to account appropriately for asset quality is an issue across
many countries’ banking systems.
2.5 Research Gaps
Literature shows that profitability within the banking sector is subject to various determinants; key among them
being asset value, loans portfolio, asset quality and interest expense. It emerges that these key determinants play
a vital role in profit maximization within various banking institutions around the world. This study covered the
four composite variables with the aim of establishing their effect on profitability on Kenyan commercial Banks.

3.0 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1Research Design
A descriptive survey design was utilized in this study. Orodho (2003) describes a descriptive survey design as a
method of collecting information by interviewing or administering a questionnaire to a sample of individuals. It
can be used when collecting information about peoples’ attitudes, opinions, habits or any other social issues
while Sekaran & Bougie (2011) says that a descriptive study is undertaken in order to ascertain and be able to
describe the characteristics of the variables of interest in a situation.
3.2 Population
All employees of the banking sector in Kenya formed the population of this study. The target population was
13,042 employees who were on the roll by end of the year 2012 as stated by the central bank of Kenya
supervision report of 2012. However due to the location of the researcher and logistical challenges, the
accessible population was those employees in senior management and middle management ranks located in
Nairobi. Borg and Gall, (2007) describe a target population as all the elements that meet certain criteria for
inclusion in a study and it consists of all members of a real or hypothetical set of people, events or objects from
which a researcher wishes to generalize the results of their research; while accessible population consists of all
the individuals who realistically could be included in the sample
3.3 Sampling
Two sampling techniques were employed in this study i.e. stratified sampling and simple random sampling.
Stratified sampling was employed to group the bank employees into two groups of senior management and
middle management. The two groups were arrived at because this study required employees who had detailed
knowledge of the bank and its operations. Simple random sampling was done within each stratum to be able to
serve the questionnaires to the employees. As at 31st
December 2012, the accessible population of this study had
13,042 management employees broken down as 7,021 in senior management and 6,021 in middle management
cadre. This size of a population is defined by Mugenda & Mugenda (2003) as a large population because it has
more than ten thousand employees. The sample of the study was therefore determined using a formula
recommended by Mugenda & Mugenda (2003) for getting the minimum sample size from a large population.
n=Z2
*p*(1-p)/d2
Where:
n = sample size determined by formula
Z = normal distribution of Z score which is normally fixed at 1.96
p = proportion of units in the sample size possessing the variables under study which is normally set at 50% (0.5)
d = significance level of 0.05
Once the formula is substituted with values then the sample size will be 384
n= (1.96)2
*(0.5)(0.5)= 384
(0.05)2
However this study targeted 400 respondents above the minimum sample size of a large population.

3.8 Data Processing and Analysis
According to Hyndman (2008), data processing involves translating the answers on a questionnaire into a form
that can be manipulated to produce statistics. This involves coding, editing, data entry, and monitoring the whole
data processing procedure. The main aim of checking the various stages of data processing was to produce a file
of data that was error free as possible.
After data was obtained through questionnaires and secondary sources, it was prepared for analysis by editing,
handling blank responses, coding, categorizing and keyed into SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences)
computer software for analysis, and the information generated by the SPSS was used to make generalizations
and conclusions of the study. F-test, t-test were used to check the level of significance while a multiple
regression model was also used to test the significance of the influence of the dependent variable. The multiple
regression Model was presented as below:
Y = β0+ β 1X1+ β 2X2+ β 3X3+ β 4X4+ e

Where:
i. Y = the value of the dependent variable
ii. { β i; i=1,2,3,4,5} = The coefficients representing the various independent variables.
iii. {Xi; i=1,2,3,4,5} = Values of the various independent (covariates) variables.
iv. e is the error term which is assumed to be normally distributed with mean zero and constant variance.
Y = Profitability of Commercial banks in Kenya
X1 = Loan Portfolio
X2 = Interest Expense
X3 = Administrative Costs
X4 = Asset Base/Value
Using SPSS, the regression model was tested on how well it fitted the data. The significance of each independent
variable was also tested. Fisher distribution test called F-test was applied. It refers to the ratio between the model
mean square divided by the error mean square. F-test was used to test the significance of the overall model at a 5
percentage confidence level. The p-value for the F-statistic was applied in determining the robustness of the
model. The conclusion was based on the basis of p value where if the null hypothesis of the beta is rejected then
the overall model would be significant and if null hypothesis is accepted the overall model would be insignificant.
In other words if the p-value was less than 0.05 then it was concluded that the model was significant and had
good predictors of the dependent variable and that the results were not based on chance. If the p-value was
greater than 0.05 then the model would not be significant and could not be used to explain the variations in the
dependent variable.
Similarly the t-test statistic was used to test the significance of each individual predictor or independent variable
and hypothesis. The p-value for each t-test was used to make conclusions on whether to fail to accept or fail to
reject the null hypotheses. The benchmark for this study for failure to reject or failure to accept the null
hypothesis was a level of significance of 5 Percentage
4.0 DATA ANALYSIS, FINDINGS AND INTERPRETATION
4.1 Introduction
This chapter provides data presentation and interpretation of the results of the data analysis from the collected
data in a systematic way. It provides demographic information of the respondents and the statistical analysis of
the information collected, reflecting each study objective. This study focused on the differences in profitability
between domestic and foreign banks; the sample was split into three sub-samples according to their ownership.
This is followed by the interpretation and discussion of the findings.
4.1 Reliability Analysis
The table2 below shows the results of the reliability analysis, mean and standard deviation (SD).
Table2: Reliability Analysis

Table 2 shows that the reliability that exists is somehow acceptable where the Cronbach’s alpha lies between
0.69 and 0.77. One component has Cronbach’s alpha less than 0.7 which indicate that the respondents are very
acquainted on how the interest expense issues directly relate to the profitability index of the banks. It can also be
on the account of how the bankers understand the interest expense element and thus not very clear to them how
the four items have been related to the adduced profitability influence.
For the purpose of this study the banks were distributed into three categories. As shown in the table 3 below.

Findings show that the private banks and the foreign banks are high above the average score except for family
bank which lower capital base pooled for all banks while the public (government owned banks) have got greater
deviations from the mean.
Findings show that the movable assets like land and building do not contribute much to profits if they have not
engaged in serious economic activities were 56 Percentage. The buildings and land might appreciate but the rate
of appreciation might not be commensurate to the depreciation of assets in them. It was not direct to the
respondents how the buildings, land and fittings influence profits as they only consolidate the financial position
of the bank. The current financial assets are easier to manipulate to improve the profit range and sales.
Customer Preference to Specific Banks in Kenya
The empirical findings for the first sub-sample show different results from those of the entire sample in the table
4.8a. The deposit growth shows a positive relationship with profitability of private sector banks which is
indicative of the fluctuation in deposit affected the profitability of private banks not foreign and public banks.
Thus the deposits (Private Sector) received by banks could be a source of increasing profits. For instance in
specificity is Equity Bank growth attributed to the many low economic segment population who deposit in small
amounts but the numbers bring in the volumes. Therefore this factor has a positive effect only for private sector
and it does not show that receiving more deposits improve foreign banks Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on

the Kenyan market.

4.6 Ordinary Least Square Estimation (ROE)
The capitalization level has lost its significant (negative) effect on ROE for public and private sector both. While
that very less but significant for foreign banks profitability (ROE). This could be interpreted in many ways.
Firstly, it could be because bank capital is more costly for domestic banks than foreign banks. Secondly, it may
suggest that foreign banks have better capability in increasing their earnings when increasing their equity.
Thirdly, it could be due to the fact that foreign banks have lower capitalization than domestic banks, hence less
profit.
Finding indicated that Net interest Margin were a positive and significant effect on ROE for foreign sector, and
this gave an assumption that if banks have certain monopoly power, they will realize higher profits. In the
category of the public sector banks and private sector banks, they were not much affected by increasing or
decreasing of interest margin. It can therefore be interpreted that the profitability growth of public and private
sector banks are not dependent on fluctuation of interest rate although the foreign banks have the benefit of high
return due to increase or decrease in interest margin.
The findings indicated that the Cost Income has a negative impact on ROE of public and foreign sector Banks
but a positive or insignificant impact on ROE of private sector banks. It can therefore be said that foreign and
public sector banks that are not able to control their expenses and realize lower profits. As for the private sector
banks have an upper hand in controlling the cost factor and enhancing the profitability margin. Going by the
empirical result of literature that Liquidity ratio does improves domestic private bank’s profitability, which
suggests that investing in government securities is profitable for domestic banks. This may be due to the fact that
foreign banks have access to other markets and better opportunities to invest their funds abroad. But the
inferences show that the liquidity ratio is not significant for any sectors profitability. The findings could also be

interpreted that foreign banks have less investment opportunities in the Kenyan market for short term period
because the findings are for 4 years only.

4.6 Ordinary Least Square Estimation (For ROA)
Table 8, presents findings on Public and Private Sector Banks with domestic or foreign controlled Banks. This
classification allows for the detection of the effect of foreign investment on domestic banks’ ROA. The findings
showed that return from assets was not much influenced on foreign banks profitability but the return on equity
was the source of generating the profitability growth. By comparison with private sector banks, most of the
variables influenced on Banks ROA except Cost Income Ratio and Provision to total loan.
Table 8, showed that only one determinant (Capital Adequacy) is similar among private and foreign sector banks
in increasing ROA. The R-squared of the foreign sector banks are high as compared to private and public sector
banks. The results are also shown by looking at the foreign ownership variables that has no effect. According to
Ali (2005), Return on Asset (ROA) is not influenced on all sectors of Banks in Lebanon Banking Industry. This
factor is instrumental in differentiating banks according to their ROE; it is incapable of separating them
according to their ROA

4.10 Determinants (Macroeconomic variables) of Foreign Sector Vs Domestic Sector for Bank’s
Performance
The macroeconomic variable GDP is not affected for foreign banks on ROE but affected the ROA of foreign
banks. As for the private sector banks, there was limited influence from GDP growth in host market. It showed
that in growth of GDP, the return from equity of foreign banks increased or decreased because they brought their
equity in the market for investment from their parent country. But in case of private sector banks the result
showed that there was no relationship between ROE/ROA of Private Sector and the macroeconomic factor of
country. This may be evidence that although the foreign banks operate in the Kenyan market, they are less
influenced by its macroeconomic conditions as compared to domestic banks.
5.0 SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND INTERPRETATION
5.1 Summary of findings
The primary data findings indicate that the four determinants of profitability were actually real. The loan
portfolio had a direct influence on the profitability of the banks. Non-performing loans and the new loans had
different impact on the profitability of the bank. The interest expense was rated highly as a factor that works to
reduce the profits. All the parameters under this were highly rated. The administration costs especially salary
overheads were utterly blamed on reducing profitability. The depreciation of assets and the provisions was seen
as a dent to profitability of any bank. However, it was also noted that the size of bank by asset value does not per
se translate to higher profitability but it is a key fact for profitability efficiency. On account of customer
preferences, the banks that had high mention were mostly Equity bank, Cooperative Bank, Kenya Commercial
Bank, Family Bank and the Barclays bank. Overall accessibility to the banks, reliability of the ATMs, the
presence of variety of products and fast and efficiency in banking was rated 56 Percentage, 28 Percentage, 26
Percentage and 22 Percentage respectively. Financial stability was also considered a key component of choice at
17 Percentage.
The increase in deposit showed a positive relationship with profitability of private sector banks. It can therefore
be said of the fluctuation in deposit affected the profitability of private banks not foreign and public banks. In
private sector banking, the deposits received could be a source of profits growth. Therefore, this factor had a

positive effect only for private sector and it does not show that receiving more deposits improve foreign banks
Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Asset (ROA), because it is more pronounced in the private banks.
Findings give an indication that the deposit growth ratio is not a profitability determinant for foreign banks in the
Kenyan market.
Cost Income has a negative impact on ROE of public and foreign sector Banks but a positive or insignificant
impact on ROE of private sector banks as shown by the findings. It can therefore be said that foreign and public
sector banks that are not able to control their expenses and realize lower profits. The R-squared of the foreign
sector banks are relatively higher than that of private and public sector banks. Inferentially, the results project
that in Kenyan banking context the foreign banks ROA determinates are serrate and domestic banks ROA
determinants.
Private sector banks have limited influence from the GDP in the Kenyan market. This in essence means that in
growth of GDP, the return from equity of foreign banks could be increase or decrease because they brought their
equity in the market for investment from their parent country. But in case of private sector banks the result
shows that there is no relationship exists between ROE/ROA of Private Sector and the macroeconomic factor of
country. The findings give evidence that although the foreign banks operate in the Kenyan market, they are less
influenced by its macroeconomic conditions as compare to domestic banks because there major parts of
investment portfolio are depended on abroad. The result also found that the Inflation affects foreign banks more
than domestic ones.
5.2 Conclusion
This study sought to analyse whether profitability measures were associated with increments or decline on loan
portfolio, interest expense, administrative cost, and asset value at the organizational level. The study makes
several contributions to the literature. In doing so, this study provides the first reliable evidence of the
association of the four indicator factors on financial performance at the organizational level.
In the second section the research analysed the profitability differences and determinants of commercial banks of
Kenyan Banking Industry for the year 2009 to 2012 (annually). It analysed the influence of macro-economic
indicator (inflation and GDP) on foreign and domestic banking sector of Kenya. The empirical findings report
indicated that the profitability determinants of foreign banks were different from domestic banks. This research
also shows the better capability in explaining the variability of domestic banks’ profitability (ROE and ROA)
than foreign ones, which may be deduced to mean that foreign banks operating in a market were not only
affected by the conditions in market, but also by other factors that could be related to their home markets. As a
deductive conclusion it can be said that local controlled commercial banks in Kenyan were more profitable than
foreign controlled ones as far as the profit volumes are concerned which is reflected in their yearly earnings per
share but the foreign controlled commercial banks in Kenya, as a whole are more capital efficient as compared to
the local controlled commercial banks subject to few exceptions. From the findings, it can be concluded that
control over non-performing assets, operating expenses, provision and contingencies were major areas of
concern for the management of public sector banks.
5.3 Recommendation
To strengthen the position of commercial Banks, the public sector banks must strive to greatly enhance
efficiency through a control over shrinking spread, increasing non-interest income, and maximizing business per
employee and per branch, etc. Technology up gradation, provision of better service quality, inculcating customer
driven work culture, mental revolution among the staff of public sector banks, use of modern risk management
practices are also the most sought after steps that are needed to ensure the sustainable level of profit and its
growth.
5.4 Suggestion for Further Studies
The field of banking offers researchers wide areas of study. The differential functional areas of foreign and
domestic banks, Measure of efficiency differences and their determinants, Study on religious inclined banking
platforms such as Islamic Banking System of Foreign and Local Banks in Kenya, Specialized banking
approaches like Investment and Mortgages, Women based banking, Youth tailored accounting, Asset financing
are a emerging frontier areas of study.
