This article explored the affiliation between a non-performing loan, capital adequacy ratio, loan loss provision, and bank profitability. The study was conducted on the licensed commercial banks in Ghana for the era 2014-2019. The two-step system generalized method of moments estimator was utilized to test the hypothesis developed for the study. The independent study variables altogether demonstrated a negative and immaterial association with the bank's profitability as proxied by ROA. A robustness test was conducted utilizing the Three-Stage Least-Squares Regression (3SLS); the outcome was analogous to that of the Two-Step System Generalized Method of Moments estimator. The study suggests that the Central Bank fortifies the capital requirement and keenly monitors banks' risk-taking conduct and banks undertaking due diligence procedures to moderate the shock of non-performing loans and loan loss provision in other to augment the profitability of universal banks.

This study aims to analyze company characteristics as a determinant of conventional and Islamic bank earnings management in several ASEAN countries (Association of South East Asian Nations). The Multiple Discriminant Analysis was applied to determine the differences between Islamic and Conventional Banks. This test was conducted based on Capital Adequacy Ratio, Income Before Tax and Interest, Non-Performing and Changing Loans, and Company's Size in the banks of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei Darussalam from 2014 to 2018. The data obtained from 200 banking entities were analyzed discriminatively. The results showed that there were simultaneous differences between Capital Adequacy Ratio, Earnings Before Tax, Loan Loss Provision, Non-Performing and Changing Loans, and Company's Size as determinants of earnings management between Islamic and conventional banks. Also, it was found that Company's Size was the dominant variable determining the management differences. Based on Discriminant Analysis, there were significant differences in the determinants of conventional and Islamic earnings management. The Changing Loan variable showed the highest contribution in determining earnings management in Islamic banks. Overall, this study found that conventional banks dominated Islamic system in practicing earnings management.

Method Of Moments Estimator

The research interest in bank profitability and efficiency is linked to the economic situation and an important issue for policymakers is to ensure economic stability. Nevertheless, managerial decisions and the environment could play a critical role in ensuring proper and efficient allocation of the resources. The purpose of this study is to understand which are the main factors that can influence the performance and efficiency of 94 commercial listed banks from Eurozone countries through a dynamic evaluation, in the period between 2011 and 2016. To achieve this aim, the generalized method of moments estimator technique is used to analyze the influence of some bank-specific characteristics, controlled by management, on the profitability as a measure of bank performance. After that, through the value-based data envelopment analysis (DEA) methodology, those factors are considered in determining the efficient banks. The results show that banking efficiency depends on set bank-specific characteristics and that the effect of determinants on efficiency differs, considering the macroeconomic conditions.

The Impact

The objective of this study is to provide more empirical evidence on the impact of the capital adequacy ratio, as well as control and micro variables, on the financial stability of commercial banks in emerging markets such as Vietnam. The study analyzes the impact of the capital adequacy ratio on the financial stability of 18 Vietnamese commercial banks in the period 2010–2020 using the Generalized method of moments (GMM) model. Empirical research results show that the capital adequacy ratio has a positive correlation with the financial stability of Vietnamese commercial banks during the study period. Besides, the study also uses control variables such as Profitability through ROA and ROE, Bank Size (SIZE), Loans to Assets Ratio (LTA), Deposits to Assets Ratio (DTA), and Loan Loss Ratio (LLR), to analyze their impact on the financial stability of Vietnamese commercial banks. Based on the above results, the study proposes some policy implications to enhance the financial stability of Vietnamese commercial banks using the capital adequacy ratio and the control variables from the GMM model that are statistically significant. The paper also pointed out four limitations of the study in terms of data, research samples, methods and research models, so that further research can be more complete.

Purpose In this paper, the author aims to examine the effect of perceived level of corruption on bank profitability. Design/methodology/approach The analysis is based on a balanced panel of ten commercial banks in Tunisia over the period 2003-2014. The author uses the generalized method of moments estimator technique described by Arellano and Bover (1995). Findings The author finds a positive relationship between the bank profitability and the corruption level. This surprising result suggests that Tunisian commercial banks take advantage from the high level of corruption. Regarding the others determinants, the findings reveal that bank profitability is positively related to capitalization level and liquidity. By contrast, a low asset quality is associated with low profitability. Originality/value The novelty of this study consists in the inclusion of the corruption level as a determinant of bank profitability.

Abstract There are many different approaches to the process of stress testing and two of them will be investigated in this paper. The first one is a stress test performed on aggregated data i.e. the banking system as a whole. The variable of interest in both exercises is the Loan Loss Provision ratio (hereinafter: the LLP). The main goal of the thesis is to find an answer to the following question: what are the macroeconomic variables that influence LLP the most and how will LLP, as a variable of interest, behave in a situation when all these variables were to experience negative performance at the same time? The resilience of the banking system to such scenario will be tested through the capital adequacy ratio. In order to find out more about the management practices of banks, microlevel data on banks were also used in the analysis. The focus was to see which of the variables are able to explain the LLP ratio for each bank individually and how is this information helpful for possible improvements in the banking sector. The relations between these variables will be able to explain some of the banks’ losses and some of the banks’ practices regarding credit activities. The analysis there will provide for some recommendations for the banks but also for the Central Bank and its way to influence the practices in the banking sector.

Theoretical Evidence

Establishing loan loss provisions may affect bank’s profitability and capital adequacy ratio. The paper employs regression analysis to explore operations of loan loss provisions in Vietnamese commercial banks in 2008-2012 in its relationship with bank characteristics. The results show that loan loss provisions of Vietnamese commercial banks are positively related to size and proportion of bad debt and negatively related to financial risk ratio. The paper provides theoretical evidence of the opportunism in selection of accounting policy concerning loan risk management by Vietnamese bank managers.

The Third Party

This research was conducted in connection with the effective enactment of International Financial Accounting Standard IFRS 2020 to improve the concept of hedging accounting as well as basic measurement and classification of financial instruments. IFRS carries the concept of Expected loss backup which begins to acknowledge losses if there is a potential failure to pay even though it has not really happened, allowing the bank to form a larger loan-loss provision. The loan-loss provision is formed based on the number of failed pays in credits indicated by the ratio of Non-Performing Loans (NPLs). Fund distribution can be regulated by the Third-party Fund (TPF). The increasing number of loan-loss provisions and NPLs are feared to affect capital conditions for the bank. Therefore, the study aims to determine the partial and simultaneous influence of the loan-loss provision, Non-Performing Loans (NPLs), and third-party Fund (TPF) against the bank's capital adequacy ratio (CAR). The samples in this study are central government-owned banks, namely Bank Mandiri, Bank Negara Indonesia, Bank Rakyat Indonesia, and Bank Tabungan Negara period from 2011 to 2018. Data taken is a data time series of the quarterly financial statements published by the respective online website of the bank. The analysis used is a multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS Tools version 21 and Microsoft Excel. The results showed that a partial loan-loss provision had no significant effect on the bank's capital adequacy ratio, while the Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) and the Third-party Fund (TPF) were partially influential of the bank's capital adequacy ratio. Simultaneously the three independent variables have a significant effect on the dependent variable capital adequacy ratio (CAR).

Risk Taking Behavior

The paper analyzes the determinants of the loan loss provision (LLP) of 22 commercial banks in Pakistan from 2010 to 2017. The motive of the research is that LLP is a measure of credit risk as a proxy for bank risk-taking behavior profits and banks’ sustainability. Especially after the occurrence of a global financial crisis. The quantitative research method of data collection from Bureau Van Dijk’s BankFocus portal and the World Bank’s World Development Indicators. Other than considering specific bank variables such as capital adequacy ratio, return on average equity, and government securities, the effects of macroeconomic variable inflation and lending interest rates are explicitly studied. The model of pooled ordinary least squares (POLS), fixed effect (FE), panel corrected standard error (PCSE), and panel data estimation in the form of a general method of moments (GMM) two-step system is used to find the risk-taking behavior of banks in Pakistan. The results obtained by the use of inflation (INF) as an instrumental variable of LLP are highly dependable with a negative impact on loan loss provision. Lending interest rate (LIR) has a positive and significant relationship with LLP and contribute in the study of macroeconomic variables for bank risk-taking, excessive amount of interest rate was not beneficial for banks to earn profits especially during the economic crises. Return on average equity (ROAE) significantly moderates LLP with a negative interaction and helped the bank with profitable operations and save bank from solvency. Capital adequacy ratio (CAR) and government securities (GOV) are insignificant to LLP. The result is robust by measure of endogeneity, and highlights the important role of commercial banks’ sustainability to explain risk-taking behavior in Pakistan with the intention to increase profits after the occurrence of financial crises. The study further contributes to future research on managerial policy and decision making. In summary, the paper on loan loss provision has the capacity to forecast commercial banks’ credit risk for risk-taking in an emerging country.
