Impact of Liquidity on Islamic Banks' Profitability: Evidence from Bangladesh (original) (raw)

Assessing the Impact of Liquidity on Profitability: Specific to the Banking Industry of Bangladesh

The present study investigates whether liquidity positively or negatively stimulates the profitability of commercial banks of Bangladesh. Methodology: The analysis has been performed on 5 randomly selected banks over a period of 10 years (2011-2020). The respective banks' annual reports were the sources of secondary data based on which the study has been performed. For study purpose, dominant profitability ratios are studied along with the calculation of liquidity. ROA served profitability measures being considered as dependent variables whereas Loan-Deposit, Deposit-Assets, & Cash-Deposit ratios served liquidity measures being considered as independent variables. Ordinary Least Square Models have been made use of testing how liquidity affects the banking sector's profitability. Findings: From the analysis, it is founded that a rise in the banks' aforementioned liquidity ratio would escalate the Return on Assets i.e. profitability. Practical Implications: The study has evident that commercial banks of Bangladesh might have a better balance between the profitability and liquidity. Originality: The impact of liquidity on profitability has been stated in this paper which considered data from randomly selected 5 banks. The outcomes of the paper will demonstrate valuable addition to the existing research work in the related field. Research Limitations: Only 5 randomly selected commercial banks among 61 scheduled banks of Bangladesh were the study samples for which the overall financial scenario is difficult to know. It is also quite impossible to comment on the liquidity and profitability position as well as their relationship by considering only 5 banks.

For this study we have used panel data which includes 30 banks’ 5 year analysis. Trends of the ratios and element were examined. A model have been used to make the regression analysis. Here, secondary data have been used which were collected from the annual reports and calculated for 5 year period (2012-2016).

Liquidity-Profitability Relationship in Bangladesh Banking Industry

This study explored the relationship between liquidity (measured as current ratio) and profitability (measured as return on assets) in the banking industry in Bangladesh. We have considered twelve banks in four different sectors (Government banks, Islami banks, multinational banks and private commercial banks). We tried to figure out how much liquidity of a bank can explain its profitability. We ran linear regression to find out the extent of relationship between bank's liquidity and profitability (significance level was 10%). Individually all the sectors show no significant relationship between liquidity and profitability. Even the overall banking industry shows the same result. We considers year just before recession (2006) to post-recession (2011). We showed graphically how liquidity and profitability of these sectors varied over last couple of years. Government banks showed variable liquidity, while other sectors were steady. But, there were much fluctuations in profitability in between these times in all the sectors. Finally, we concluded that based on our sample and category, there is no significant relationship between liquidity and profitability in banks of different sectors in Bangladesh.

Profitability and Liquidity of Conventional Banking and Islamic Banking in Bangladesh: A Comparative Study

The aim of this study is to examine and evaluate the profitability and liquidity of a group of 5 Conventional banks in Bangladesh with a group of 5 Bangladeshi Islamic banks. The study evaluates the profitability and liquidity of two types of banking system in Bangladesh for the period of 2008 to 2012. Different financial ratios i.e. Return on Asset (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Profit Expense Ratio (PER), Net Profit Margin (NPM), Earnings per Share (EPS), Profit per branch, Profit per employee have been used for evaluating profitability and Loan to Deposit ratio (LDR), Loan to Assets ratio (LAR) are used for evaluating liquidity of these 2 categories banks. T-test and F-test have been used in determining the significance of the differential performance of the two groups of bank. The study found that Islamic Banks are less preferable than Conventional banks in the year 2008 and 2009 in all the profitability indicators. In 2010, Conventional banks had been more profitable than Islamic banks except ROE, PER. In 2011 and 2012, Islamic banks' profitability performance is better than that of Conventional banks in the performance indicators except EPS, Profit per Branch and Profit per Employee. However, there is no significant difference in liquidity between the two sets of banks. LAR had been constantly higher in Islamic banks in all the years though LDR had not been higher during the same period. In 2010 and 2011, Conventional Banks' LDR is higher than the Islamic Bank. The reasons are that conventional banks in Bangladesh have longer history and experience in doing banking business and hold dominating position in the financial sector with its large share in the overall financial assets of Bangladesh as compared to Islamic banks, which in true sense, started only a few years back with all letter and spirit. The study also found that Islamic Banks are less profitable having less liquidity position during 2008-2012. However, it had improved considerably in its profitability during 2011 and 2012.

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.
