This is mainly due to the sharp rise in shareholders fund by almost 25 percent annually (compounded) in the last five years period.

Income and ratio analysis

The net profit of Nabil bank has grown by a mere 3.24 percent in a period of one year. This doesn’t look exciting. However, maintaining such a huge profit in a period of crunch in the banking credit is satisfactory. Nabil has made a profit of Rs. 3.19 billion, up from Rs. 3.09 billion in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Despite slow growth in profit, the bank has increased its net interest income by 18 percent. Net Interest income has grown to Rs. 5.41 billion, up from Rs. 4.57 billion.

In the first nine months of this fiscal year, Nabil Bank has accumulated the distributable profit of Rs. 2.32 billion. This gives the bank the dividend-paying capacity of 34 percent (when annualized). Although the profit rose, the Earnings per share (EPS) has declined by 7.83 percent. This is due to the capital increment of 12 percent this year. Similarly, Non-performing Loans (NPL) has declined to 0.64 percent. However, the base rate has climbed slightly to 7.99 percent. Nabil Bank is one of the banks with the lowest base rate in Nepal.

The performance of Nabil Bank in the third quarter of F.Y. 2075/76 is shown in the table below:

Nabil Bank has led the Nepalese banking industry since its inception 35 years ago. And, it is likely to continue to lead in the coming years. The financial performance of the bank in the last five years looks solid. The dividend payout is also relatively high. The directors of the bank are reputed business and banking personalities in Nepal. The management team of Nabil Bank is reputed and highly efficient. In conclusion, Nabil Bank is a financially strong and sound commercial bank of Nepal.

The brand of Nabil is easily recognizable. Due to its financial strength and brand loyalty, it is able to collect the funds at a lower rate. Thus, the base rate of Nabil is comparatively lower. This gives Nabil a greater competitive advantage over other banks. Nabil has huge deposits and loans portfolio. The profit is likely to increase in coming years as the liquidity situation in the economy eases. Holding Nabil stock for the long run is a viable investment strategy. Along with good dividend, an increase in the market value of the stock can be expected as the share market moves in a positive direction.

NOTE: Figures of FY 2074/75 are as per NFRS  and the figures of the earlier year are as per previous GAAP. Hence, they may not be comparable.

Texila International Journal , Dominic Tetteh Sackitey

The banking industry is considered to be an important source of financing for most businesses. In Ghana, the financial systems tend to evolve around the banking system. This study therefore sought to critically explore the key financial performance indicators in the banking industry. This study made use of secondary data obtained from published annual reports of Ecobank Ghana Limited from 2005-2015. It was found that the Key Financial Performance Indicators for assessing the financial performance of Ecobank Ghana are: • Profitability which is measured using the following criteria: Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE) and Cost to Income Ratio (CIR). • Liquidity performance is measured using Liquid assets to deposit-borrowing ratio (LADST), Net Loans to total asset ratio (NLTA), Net loans to deposit and borrowing (NLDST). • Asset Credit Quality (Credit Performance) is measured using Loan loss reserve to gross loans (LRGL). • Management of the bank should ensure that Key Performance Indicators are aligned with the specific goals and objectives of the bank. It was recommended that key performance indicators must be quantifiable. The goal must be stated in concise terms and capable of being measured. A time frame must also be established for all key performance indicators, with key checkpoints at various intervals.
