India’s non-banking financial institutions (NBFIs), broadly constituting the less-regulated shadow banking sector, have been plagued with scams, triggering a domino effect in the Indian money market. Major corporate governance issues were highlighted in NBFIs with the unfurling of the ILF&S fraud; it virtually created a sub-prime crisis. In such a scenario, where the shadow banking sector was subject to change in regulations to ensure vigilance, corporate governance lapses had again led to the meltdown of Kapil Wadhawan led Dewan Housing Finance Limited (DHFL). Registering a net profit growth of 25% in the third quarter of financial year 2017, DHFL was one of India’s leading housing finance companies with a value of whopping ₹1.01 trillion as its asset under management (AUM). The company had nose-dived from its coveted position, suffering a loss of ₹22.23 million for the last quarter of the financial year 2018–2019. The company’s credit ratings of commercial papers and non-convertible debentures were downgraded; non-payment of interests led to enforcement of resolution plan, with the board of directors acceding to nationalized banks. The company’s reputation had crashed with its share prices, amidst allegations of lookout notice issued for its promoters for siphoning funds through shell companies. The case describes the oversights and negligence of DHFL in terms of corporate governance practices in the context of the NBFC (non-banking financial company) sector. The jury is out to evaluate whether Wadhawan had followed the rules of corporate governance in letter and spirit, or the tightening noose of regulations and market sentiments around the ‘shadow banking’ sector of India spelt doom for DHFL.

Governance Practices

A well governed institution is expected to use its resources optimally and, thus, perform more efficiently and contribute positively to economic development of a nation. However, often, it can be seen that poor management of the stakeholders leads to less than optimal strategic directions for an institution. Due to recent global financial crisis and rising issues of the Bangladeshi banking sector, corporate governance is one of the factors that have gained considerable attention. Recent drive of the governance issues of the banking sector of Bangladesh is expected to bring positive change in the financial sector and, hence, it is crucial to assess whether complying with governance codes leads to desired outcome or not. Specifically, the main purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between performances of commercial banks with corporate governance factor along with some internal and macroeconomic variables. Thus, the listed commercial banks in the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) of Bangladesh were considered for the study. Subsequently, considering data availability of the time period (2011-2014), 29 listed commercial banks in the DSE have been considered and, hence, Ordinary Least Squared (OLS) regression models were used through Eviews 8.0 for analyzing the data. Though the study shows a positive relation between corporate governance and performances of banks, the statistical insignificance of the relation raises concern regarding various issues of corporate governance in the financial sector of Bangladesh. Keywords: corporate governance, financial institutions, performances of commercial banks. JEL Classification: G21, G30, G38, G39, O16

The Relationship

The study examines the relationship between product mix and corporate governance on earnings volatility with the help of degree of total leverage (DTL) model. The present study attempts to fill the gap by investigating the relationship between product mix and corporate governance on earnings volatility for developing financial market during the period of 2005-2015. Earnings volatility is analysed by two proxies’ .i.e. revenue volatility and degree of total leverage. This study has used mainly two types of product mix that consists of lending and fee-based activities while board size, board independence and CEO power is used to measure corporate governance. The results of the study signify the adverse impact of fee-based activities on earnings volatility in the banking sector of Pakistan. Corporate governance confirms the board size and power of CEO in the board as contributing factors to control earnings volatility. The findings are useful to the bankers and regulators to comprehend the role of diversification and corporate governance in creating value and reducing risk for the stakeholders.

Many Sources

An ongoing dispute in comparative corporate governance studies concerns the extent to which cross-country convergence towards, essentially, the shareholder primacy view is occurring. While some scholars, especially legal scholars and economists, have predicted (and sometimes advocated) a convergence of corporate governance practices towards the Anglo-American model of (seemingly) shareholder primacy, others sharply disagree and point to the persistence of stakeholder-oriented governance in many countries. Banking, from the point of view of corporate governance convergence, is an interesting industry, for at least two reasons: (i) banks are peculiar types of business organizations, entailing specific governance rules in most systems; (ii) banks are (monetary) financial intermediaries more and more active on capital markets, and thus more and more exposed to the isomorphic pressures generated on corporate governance by those markets. Thus, predictions on the convergence or divergence of banks’ corporate governance are not easy to make. The present paper aims to contribute to the scholarly dispute by analysing the Italian case, which has seen, over the past 30 years or so, an apparently unfettered process of transformation of banks’ governance and ownership towards the shareholder primacy model – a process epitomized by the recent reforms of the country’s cooperative banking sector. ‘Apparently’, because a closer look at the legal and regulatory bases of banks’ corporate governance actually shows many sources of divergence from the shareholder primacy model. Thus, the contribution proposed by the present study is twofold: first, it extends the ‘convergence’ discussion to the banking industry, where specific dynamics may help us better ‘test’ the hypotheses developed in the ‘convergence’ debate; second, it emphasizes alternative divergent patterns to those normally identified in the literature, where divergent ‘practice’ is often opposed to converging laws. Here, the sources of resistance to convergence are found in law itself.

Code Of Corporate Governance

This paper tries to inspect the association and relationship between corporate governance determinants and level of non-performing loan (NPL) of listed commercial banks in Bangladesh. Recently Banks are facing a problem of default loan. This default loan or NPL may reduce the loan giving capacity of the Banks and it may decrease the economic growth of a country. Moreover, there is less research to find out the implication of good governance on the level of NPL in banking sector of Bangladesh than that of developed countries. Here, data from thirty listed commercial banks for the year 2008-2017 (10 years) are taken to explore the rapport between the corporate governance variables and NPL. Random Effect GLS regression method is used to analyze the data. Findings told that commercial banks follow the code of corporate governance on a comply basis however their relationship with NPL is positively significant within the taken determinants of corporate governance. It is expected that, banks with good quality management may ensure the quality of loan and it will reduce the level of NPL.

Orientation: Customer loyalty is crucial in the retail banking sector, given the increasing competition within the industry and from emerging non-traditional players.Research purpose: This study sought to establish the influence of corporate governance practices on customer loyalty in Nigerian retail banks.Motivation for the study: Conducting a study of this nature highlights how corporate governance practices contribute to customer loyalty in the retail banking sector of Nigeria as a developing country in Africa.Research design, approach and method: Premised on relationship marketing and stakeholder theoretical orientations, the study used a sample of 424 bank customers scientifically selected from eight commercial banks identified within Ibadan Metropolis, Nigeria. A six-construct survey instrument was used to collect relevant data. Partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) version 3 was utilised to ascertain the interaction between customer loyalty and corporate governance practices domains.Main findings: The result of the PLS-SEM model established that all corporate governance practices had a positive effect on customer loyalty at a very significant level (p < 0.01), except transparency and disclosure, which had an inverse relationship and effect on customer loyalty, though at a non-significant level (β = -0.005, p = 0.93). Presence of competent bank management had the highest positive influence on customer loyalty.Practical/managerial implications: The findings of this study will be useful for bank management and role players in the financial and other service sectors on the importance of good corporate governance and specific attributes of the identified corporate governance that are critical for business success.Contribution/value-add: This study was able to identify corporate governance practices from customers’ perspective, which is a departure from the traditional shareholder perspective in business studies. It has advanced the relatively known terrain in corporate governance and business literature by opening up new debates on the relevance of corporate leadership beyond the confines of the boardroom.
