The study examined the arguments and counterarguments within the scientific discussion on commercial banks credit and the performance of real sector in Nigeria. The main objective of the study is to examine the effect of commercial banks credit on the performance of the real sector in Nigeria.Data was sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin. A systematization literary approach for data analysis was Regression Analysis. Findings revealed that bank credit and bank lending rate does not have significant impact on real sector performance in Nigeria. It was showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between agricultural credit guarantee scheme fund and agricultural production in Nigeria. The study therefore recommends that banks should be directed to channel their credits towards the real sector to facilitate overall economic growth and development in Nigeria. It was recommended that there is the need policies that will favor the revamp of the agricultural sector in Nigeria should be given pride of place.

PurposeThis study examines agricultural lending by commercial banks and the competition they face from the Farm Credit System (FCS) and non-traditional lenders, including merchants, dealers and other input suppliers.Design/methodology/approachWe construct a measure of commercial banks' perceived competition with FCS or non-traditional lenders using the individual responses to the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago's Land Values and Credit Conditions Survey between 1999 and 2019. Through regression analysis of an unbalanced panel of survey responses, we present a number of stylized facts on the relationship between perceived competition and farm loan rate spreads, collateral requirements, loan delinquencies and expected lending volumes.FindingsOur analysis shows that the two sources of competition have very different effects on commercial bank lending terms, loan portfolio riskiness and expected loan volumes. With these results in mind, we offer a number of suggestions for future research.Originality/valueWe leverage the unique characteristics of the Land Values and Credit Conditions Survey to examine the competition with non-traditional lenders that cannot be observed using administrative data.

AbstractA tobit econometric procedure was used to examine the effect of selected demand and supply factors on nonreal estate agricultural lending by commercial banks in Texas. Results show that banks have reduced their agricultural loan portfolios in response to increased use of interest sensitive deposits after deregulation. Moreover, almost half of this decrease came from banks that stopped making agricultural loans. Also, results show that banks affiliated with multi-bank holding companies lend less money to agriculture relative to their assets than do independent banks.

Excess Liquidity

Significance The ECB stopped purchasing bonds this month after running its asset purchase programme (APP) since March 2015. The APP flooded commercial banks with liquidity in excess of their minimum reserve requirements, which they could use to grant new loans. The ECB achieved its goal of increasing credit to the private sector, raising domestic demand and warding off price deflation, but commercial banks have kept large amounts of excess liquidity. Impacts Euro-area banks' average profitability has improved during the APP scheme, but less accommodating monetary policy may reverse this trend. The high prudential ratios the Basel III regulatory standards require should make euro-area banks more resilient to monetary tightening. The ECB's mopping up may pose difficulties to banks relying on excess liquidity to meet the Basel III coverage liquidity ratio.

Subject Nigerian banking innovations. Significance After complaints over the slow growth of commercial bank lending specifically to preferred sectors, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) recently proposed a range of new policy measures. This includes a new minimum loan-to-deposit ratio (LDR) target of 60% for all commercial banks, and that loans extended to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), retail, mortgage and consumer lending be weighted at 150%. Banks are required to conform to the new requirements by September 30. Impacts Liquidity outflows from banks that opt to drop expensive deposits may lead to pressure on the naira. The interplay of the new LDR policy and CBN Treasury Bills' maturities will prompt uncertainty in currency and debt markets. Newly created banks are even more unlikely to be able to expand their loan book quickly enough to meet the new requirements.

This study examined the future of banking system and economic development in Nigeria in the context of the demand following hypothesis. Although, the Nigerian economy has witnessed steady growth, the productive base of the economy is narrow. This therefore requires that banks must engage in an effective financial intermediation process to aid the transformation of the real sector as an engine of growth. However, while the deposits mobilized and assets base of the commercial banks has increased in leap and bounds, the real sector access to credit is on the decline. Rather, the bulk of the funds are invested on government short term securities given their risk free characteristics which reflect the lazy bank syndrome. Prohibitively high cost of credit and existence of hidden charges also inhibit real sector access to commercial banks loan. Hence, to reconnect the banking system with the real sector, there is a need to discourage armchair banking business model and encourage supportive banking business model, lending and secure appropriate maturity profile of loans to the real sectors, promote modified collateral bank lending model, and encourage specialization of bank branches. These are expected to aid the growth of the real sector and fast track the process of economic development in Nigeria.

The country's economy is still in a state where its development is hampered by the lack of clearly defined, priority programs to stimulate entrepreneurship and industries, including through credit. Bank lending to businesses is an effective way out of the crisis. The strengthening of the role of credit relations as a means of stimulating the development of production is manifested in various aspects. The purpose of the article is to analyze and assess the creditworthiness of borrowers by commercial banks in the international space and the possibility of their introduction into the mechanism of bank lending, which is based on world practice. The study uses the fundamental provisions of economic theory, credit theory, banking, as well as studies of domestic and foreign scholars. General scientific principles of conducting complex scientific researches were used to solve the set tasks. In the process of research a number of general scientific methods were used, in particular: analogies, logical generalization and system analysis. Based on the identified problems, foreign experience was studied, on the basis of which the prospects for improving the assessment of creditworthiness of borrowers by commercial banks in Ukraine were identified. Based on studies of various methods of assessing creditworthiness, set out in the economic literature and used in banking practice, the author proposes an improved method of assessing the creditworthiness of a legal entity, which includes analysis of both quantitative and qualitative indicators of the borrower (financial condition, collateral, credit history, management skills). the borrower's ability to repay the loan). This method contains a sufficient, in the author's opinion, a set of indicators that will allow you to make decisions on the loan agreement and minimize credit risks. To reduce the risks of the loan portfolio, measures should be applied both at the level of risk management of the loan portfolio as a whole and at the level of the specific borrower.

Bank credit availability is vital for enhancing farm productivity, income, and farmer livelihoods. This study sought to characterize the lending requirements considered by commercial banks when lending to farmers in Zimbabwe. Primary data were collected from a cross-section of 12 registered commercial banks. Relative Importance Index (RII) and Thematic analysis analysed data. High importance lending requirements that were always considered by all commercial banks when lending to farmers included credit history, productive farm assets, business registration, loan purpose, amount, and repayment source. Agricultural production skills, age, business plans, financial statements, social reputation, and project insurance were also mandatory in the majority of the commercial banks. High to medium importance lending requirements included extension support, business management skills, bank account ownership, own contribution, and personal savings. Medium importance requirements included formal basic education, alternative income, and freehold land ownership. Therefore, besides the widely documented collateral, local commercial banks also considered several other requirements when lending to farmers. Government policy should go beyond solving the collateral issue but benchmark its policies to other bank lending requirements. Farmers should also pursue personal development programs in agricultural production, business, and financial management. They should also invest in off-farm assets to ensure collateral availability.

The Relationship

Banks are financial institutions that collect and distribute funds in the forms of deposits such as savings, deposits, current accounts, etc. from and for people who need funds for various needs, such as for consumption, working capital or business capital, housing and investment. In addition, banks must help the community to improve their living standards by distributing funds or giving credit to people who need funds. This is in accordance with the function of the bank itself, namely the bank as the distributor of funds. The purpose of this research is to examine and obtain evidence about factors that influence loan distribution at a bank. Internal factors that influence loan distribution are Third Party Funds, Non-Performing Loans, and Profitability. Efforts to increase credit at banks require optimal efforts to raise third-party funds, good credit management, and capital strengthening. This type of research is quantitative research with purposive sampling technique. The population used in this study is commercial banks from 2013 to 2017. The data come from commercial bank financial statements. As the benefit of this research the government can use it as a mapping material for distributing loan to commercial banks; the bank management can take it into consideration in making commercial bank lending policies. The results of the research show that profitability can mediate the relationship between third party funds and non-performing loans on loan distribution. Third party funds have a significant positive effect on loan distribution. Non-Performing Loans have a significant negative effect on loan distribution. Keywords: LOAN DISTRIBUTION, THIRD PARTY FUNDS, NON-PERFORMING LOANS, AND PROFITABILITY
