International Journal of Business and Management, 2014
This paper seeks at investigating the effect of liquidity management on profitability in the Jordanian commercial banks during the time period (2005-2012). Thirteen banks have been chosen to express on the whole Jordanian commercial banks. The liquidity indicators are investment ratio, Quick ratio, capital ratio, net credit facilities/ total assets and liquid assets ratio, while return on equity (ROE) and return on assets (ROA) were the proxies for profitability. Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) stationary test model was used to test for a unit root in a time series of the research variables and then testing hypothesis by using regression analysis. The empirical results show that an increase in the quick ratio and the investment ratio of the available funds leads to an increase in the profitability, while an increase in the capital ratio and the liquid assets ratio leads to decrease in the profitability of the Jordanian commercial banks. The researcher recommends that there is a need for an optimum utilization of the available liquidity in a various aspects of investment in order to increase the banks' profitability, and banks should adopt a general framework of liquidity management to assure sufficient liquidity for executing their operations more efficiently, and they should initiate an analytical study of the evolution rates of liquidity and their ability to achieve a balance between sources and uses of funds.
