Effect of Liquidity Management on the Performance of Banks
Listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the Study
Marozva (2015) disclosed that over the past six decades since
Markowitz’s seminal paper of 1952 on portfolio selection, most financial
theories and models assumed markets were frictionless, thus, in traditional
asset pricing models, liquidity plays no role at all because it is assumed
away. The moment these conventions are relaxed, the world changes, though not
in an expected way. Adekunle (2009) mentioned that during the recent global
financial crisis several banks experienced some difficulties because they
failed to manage liquidity in a prudent manner. Thus the crisis emphasized the
importance of liquidity to the proper functioning of financial markets and the
banking sector.
Before the financial crisis, financial intermediaries were
stable as funding was readily available and at low cost. The rapid reversal in
market conditions illustrated how quickly liquidity can evaporate, and that
illiquidity can reserve already earned profits as financial institutions are
either forced to sell assets well below their market value or borrow at
interest rates charges above their weighted return on assets (Adekunle, 2009).
Liquidity crisis significantly affect banks’ operational
environment. In response to the catastrophe, financial bodies such as the
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) advocated for the active management of liquidity
risk (Ngwu, 2006). It was stressed that banks are required to hold a
considerable position in liquid assets while on the other hand, they are
required to be profitable for them to be sustainable. Despite the increased
efficiency in many banks resulting from holding higher positions of liquid
assets, profitability has severely suffered. Liquidity and profitability are
inversely related, when liquidity increases profitability decreases and vice versa
while on the other hand, there is a direct relationship between higher risk and
higher return, hence the dilemma in liquidity management is finding a balance
between liquidity and profitability.
In the Nigerian case, the operating environment is so competitive
and tense that any deposit money bank that hopes to survive must ensure an
astute management of its profitability viz-a-viz its liquidity level as both
variables can make or mar its future. It is therefore self-evident that every
deposit money bank needs to strike the right balance between its liquid assets
and total assets to maintain its liquidity (meeting short-term obligations to
depositors and creditors) and remain profitable (adding value to shareholders
wealth). The challenges of inefficient liquidity management of banks in Nigeria
were brought to the fore during the liquidation and distress era of the late
1980s and early 1990s. The negative cumulative effects of the banking system
liquidity crisis from the 1980s and 1990s lingered up to the re capitalization
era in 2005 in which banks were mandated to increase their capital base from
N2billion to an astronomical N25billion. This move by the apex bank was
believed would stabilize and rectify the bank liquidity problem that was
prevalent in the economy (Fadare, 2011).
The impact of liquidity position in management of financial
institution and other economic unit have remained fascinating and intriguing.
There appears to be an interminable argument in the literature over the years
on the roles, meaning and determinants of liquidity and credit management.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Liquidity is considered as the success of any bank,
therefore, ineffectiveness in its management consuetudes a huge problem i.e.
encounter a huge problem that affects the affairs of the financial institution
(Abang-Anoh, 2012). Adekunle (2009) made it known that liquidity as an
institutional problem has persisted over the years, in determining the survival
or otherwise of banks. Although it must be said that at some relative degree of
banking it is believed that any banking institutions that is properly managed
and has adequate liquidity should be able to swim above troubled waters.
Abang-Anoh (2012) mentioned further that problems sometimes also evolve from
banks inordinate urge to make phenomenal profit. In the process of doing this
there is the tendency for these banks to get careless in the resources
utilization and particularly their management of liquidity. The resultant
effect is usually loss substance and consequently, loss accumulation, a
situation which can lead to banking failure. The far reacting consequences of
inadequate liquidity management cannot be over-emphasized. Apart from profit
declines, other attendant consequences to a bank includes loss of confidence in
the particular bank, its inability to fulfill both its short term and long-term
obligation, lack of trust on the part of depositors and other customers alike;
and the concomitant reduction in level of operations. It is however against
this backdrop this research tends to define the effect liquidity management has
on the performance of banks, specifically those listed on the Nigerian Stock
Exchange (NSE).
1.3 Research Questions
Based on the problems indicated, the following research
questions were raised.
i) What is the impact of current ratio on return on equity of
listed banks?
ii) What is the effect of liquid asset to total asset ratio
on return on equity of banks listed on the Nigeria stock exchange?
iii) What is the effect of cash to total deposit ratio on
return on equity?
iv) What is the effect of loans and advances to total assets
ratio on return on assets of banks listed on stock exchange?
v) What is the impact of loans and advances to total deposit
ratio on return on equity of listed banks?
1.4 Objectives of the Study
The general objective is to examine liquidity management and
performance of banks listed on the stock exchange market. However, the specific
objectives are to;
i) Determine the effect current ratio has on return on equity
of listed banks.
ii) Investigate the effect cash to total deposit ratio has on
return on equity of listed banks.
iii) Examine the impact of liquid asset to total asset on the
return on assets of listed banks.
iv) Examine the effect of loans and advances to total assets
on return on equity of banks listed on the stock exchange.
v) Investigate the effect of loans and advances to total
deposits ratio on the performance of return on equity of listed banks
1.5 Hypotheses of the Study
For the purpose of this study, the hypotheses will be stated
in null forms which are;
Ho1: Current ratio has no significant impact on return on
equity of listed banks.
Ho2: Liquid asset to total assets ratio has no significant
effect on the performance of the return of equity of banks listed on the stock
exchange.
H¬o3¬: Cash to total deposits ratio has no significant effect
on the return on equity of banks listed on the stock exchange of banks listed
on the Nigeria stock exchange.
Ho4: Loans and advances to total assets ratio has no
significant effect on return on equity of listed banks
Ho5: Loans and advances to total deposits ratio does not have
any significant effect on the performance of listed banks in Nigeria.
1.6 Justification of the Study
Obviously, a research on liquidity is not strange as the
effect proper liquidity management has on the profitability or performance of
an organization has been established by various researchers. The effect of
illiquidity on organizations most especially banks can be dangerous as it can
cost the bank reduction in customers, market share and confidence which in the
long run can lead to the liquidation of the bank. From empirical evidences, it
will be realized that many managers understand the importance of proper
liquidity management which however justifies the numerous research being
already carried out on the topic ‘liquidity’. This research however seeks to
examine deeply the effect liquidity management has on banks, precisely, listed
banks in Nigeria. The conclusion of this research will help banks listed on the
stock exchange in Nigeria and even banks not listed in making appropriate
liquidity decisions such as identifying the proportion of deposits to keep
liquid, how to balance the contradictory primary objectives of banks as well as
help them understand the importance, dangers and causes of illiquidity to a
bank. This study is hoped to unveil problems likely to rise out of some
dimension which Nigerian banking business is fast assuming in this country. In
addition, suggestions will be made to help in checking the anticipated
undesirable consequences and consolidate the positive effects of the policy
measures. This study provides good reading materials for practicing bankers,
Professionals in finance, accounting, economics and other related fields.
1.7 Scope of the Study
This research will not be able to cover all banks operating
in Nigeria, it will be limited to commercial banks whose shares are traded on
the stock exchange market operating in Nigeria which is the Nigeria Stock
Exchange (NSE), i.e. listed banks. The study will examine the effect liquidity
management has had on the performance of listed banks between the years 2010
and 2014. These years were selected because they represent the closest past
years in which all the banks must have published their financial statements.
1.8 Definition of Terms
Liquidity Management
This is the act of storing enough funds and raising funds
quickly from the market to satisfy depositors, loan customers and other parties
with a view to maintaining public confidence.
Bank
A bank is a financial house established for the purpose of
accepting deposits and lending out funds in addition to other services.
Central Bank of Nigeria
This is the national apex and financial institution that
regulates the banking system value supply and cost of finds in the Nigerian
economy.
Liquidity Ratio
This is a class of financial metrics that is used to
determine a company’s ability to pay off its short term debts obligation.
Generally the higher the value of the ratio, the larger the margin of safety
that the company possess to over short-term debts.
Listed Banks
These are banks that are allowed to trade their shares on the
stock exchange market. These banks are allowed to raise funds from the public
and they can be referred to as public companies. For the purpose of this study,
listed banks indicate any bank allowed to trade on the NSE.
Stock Exchange Market
This can be defined as the market in which financial
instruments are traded. This is the market whereby money is raised either on a
short term, medium term or long term basis (Adenuga, 2006). In every country,
there is at least a stock exchange market and the stock exchange market
operating in Nigeria is the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE).
