1.3 Banking in Nepal
Banks and banking activities have always played a prominent role in the economic prosperity
of the country. The pace of the economic development of the country flourished as banks and
its activities gradually developed. Ever since democracy was restored in 2007 BS the
government as well as citizen felt the necessity of establishing banks in the country.
Likewise, Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) was established in 1955 AD. It was established as an
apex regulatory body for the banks to be operated in Nepal.
The history of banking has started after the establishment of Nepal Bank Limited (NBL) by
special act in 1973 AD. The bank was established with an authorized capital of NRS 10
million.
NRB worked hard to minimize the use of Indian currency in Nepal and to teach the use of
money instead of Barter exchange. It was overwhelmingly successful by opening branches
outside the valley. It helped a lot in raising awareness of banking. In a decade it has its offices
in 7 places which afterwards turned into branches of commercial banks.
As the monetary transaction got more and more complex, NRB finally suggested the
movement to establish another commercial bank. As a result, Rastriya Banijya Bank (RBB)
came in to existence in 1966 AD.
After the re-establishment of democracy in 2007 BS, the government holds the liberal policy
for the economic prosperity of a nation. As a result, various commercial banks established in
a joint venture with other countries.
Likewise, there have been 32 commercial banks established so far till this date. Apart from
this many financial institutions and co-operatives societies have also started contributing in
the economy.
1.4 Introduction to the Nepal investment Bank Limited
Nepal Investment Bank Limited (NIBL) previously Nepal Indosuez Bank Ltd, was
established in 1986 as a joint venture between Nepalese and French partners. The French
partners holding 50% of the capital was credit Agricole Indosuez, a subsidiary one of the
largest banking group in the world. The name of the bank has been changed to Nepal
Investment Bank Limited upon the approval of bank’s annual general meeting , Nepal Rastra
Bank and Company Registrar’s office with the following shareholding structure.
Over the past 7 years, this bank has grown to become one of the biggest commercial bank in
Nepal. This bank has helped to fulfill growing requirements of credit and collects deposits for
the development projects and support in the business.NIBL has the highest deposit amongst
the private sectors banks throughout the Nepal.
NIBL has been very aggressive in innovating and offering new products and services in the
financial market. NIBL started Visa Electron Debit Card for the first time in Nepal after
acquiring Principal Membership of Visa International in 2003. Since then, NIBL has been
pioneering other existing banks and financial institutions in the card business. NIBL has the
largest ATM network in Nepal with the addition of nine more ATMs to the Bank's network.
At present, NIBL has in total, seven Visa Associate Member Banks and 260 ATM outlets
connected to Switch. We have also enabled recharge card options for telecom and Wi-Fi
subscribers of Broadlink Ltd. to carry out top-ups through their ATMs; they are the only
Bank to have enabled this feature. It has also enabled ATM-based money transfers for
cardholders having multiple accounts with NIBL. Currently, it is implementing their Switch
based electronic payment gateway which will enable card to card money transfer to any client
within their Switch network. They are also updating their systems to be EMV compliant and
to issue Smart Cards. They are currently undergoing PCI-DSS certification as well. They now
have 35 Member Banks and
58 ATMs in their Proprietary Card Network called National Payment Network which began
in 2009. They now have over 400,000 cardholders in their Bank and have issued 300,000 on
behalf of their National Network.
NIBL has also launched NIBL Mobile (SMS) banking which incorporates Fund Transfer, Bill
Payments, and Nepal Telecom Prepaid PIN Purchase and inquiry services as major features.
We have also made available NIBL Mobile (SMS) Banking application for Android Platform

committed staff, to achieve sound financial health with sustainable value addition to all their

of ethical standards, professional integrity, corporate governance and regulatory compliance.
1.7 Statements of Problems
The organized summary of detailed information about financial position and performance of
a concern is known as financial statement. It is prepared at the end of accounting year for
periodic review of the activities of organization and results achieved by it. It includes Profit
and Loss account or income statement and Balance Sheet. The former shows the results of
operation for a particular period while the latter indicates the financial position of the concern
at the end of that period. Hence, financial statements are the condensed form of accounts.
Different journal articles, literature, books, annual reports, professional magazines, brochures
etc. were studied throughout the fieldwork to know what is already known on the topic and to
discover the shortcomings of the previous studies so that due consideration can be given on
them. In 2065, Miss Manisha Thapa , a student of Shree Projjwal Collegiate Academy had
made an analysis about accounting ratios of NIBL Ltd. Her study shows that the firm is in
quite good condition and profit. According to her analysis, it still needs to improve in various
sectors and search for new areas of investment in order to raise profitability and mobilize
deposit efficiently. She states that the organization has excess liquid assets and it needs to
maintain satisfactory liquidity ratio.
Ratio Analysis is a popular technique of financial statement analysis which is the process of
determining and presenting the mutual relationship between two accounting figures.
According to Kennedy and McMullan “The relationship of one term to another
expressed in simple mathematical form is known as ratio.” Ratio analysis revolves around
the calculation of ratios, comparing them with the ratios of same firm relating to past and
interpretation as well as evaluation of ratios. It makes possible to analyze business activities
systematically. This fieldwork report analyses the following ratio of NIBL Ltd:
A. Liquidity Ratio:
It reflects the firm’s ability to pay its short terms debts or claims within a period less than
one year. They assess the capacity of the concern to repay its short term liabilities. The
position of the concern can be measured mainly by using two liquidity ratios such as:
I. Current Ratio/ Short term Solvency Ratio/ Working Capital
II. Quick Ratio/ Acid test Ratio/ Liquid Ratio
B. Leverage Ratio:
It is long term solvency ratio or capital structure ratio. It weighs up the ability of a firm to
meet the payments associated with its long term debts. It measures the effectiveness of the
long term financial position. It stands for relationship between internal and external sources
of funds of a firm. The major types of leverage ratios are:
C. Profitability Ratio:
It shows the overall efficiency of the concern to in terms of its sales, investments, and
earnings and dividends. An undertaking without profit is unthinkable. The profitability ratio
is related to profit. The following are the major types of profitability ratios.
A. Primary Sources
Primary data refers to data collected for the first time for a specific purpose. It can be
collected through interviews, observations or experimentation. The data needed for this
fieldwork report was collected from
face- to- face interview with the manager of the organization Mr. Hemanta Karki and official
Mr. Ram Bahadur Poudel. The respondents were asked questions through questionnaire.
B. Secondary Sources
Secondary data refers to data already available. It was collected earlier for another purpose
and exists in published form. The necessary data is also gathered from the organization’s
financial statements Income statement, Balance Sheet and the annual report submitted in
Annual General Meeting (AGM). It is also collected from published magazines, books,
articles and literature about the organization.
The collected data and information are edited, classified, tabulated and presented in different
types of charts to serve the needs of the study.
Business results and situations can be understood properly only when relevant figures are
considered together. A ratio is simply a number that shows the relationships between two
financial figures. The study is important from the point of view of investors, depositors and
management for analysis and interpretation of the concern’s financial health. It is also useful
for judging the firm’s operating efficiency, identifying strength and weakness of its financial
standing and comparing its performance with other vying firms. Ratio analysis is helpful in
financial forecasting and planning. The ratio calculation of past years works as a guideline for
future. It presents the financial data in purposeful and conclusive manner to facilitate rational
decision making of any financial activity. The fieldwork report is expected to serve the
following purposes of the different users:
Management: Management can draw significant conclusion and determine the new
policies and procedures.
Owners: It lets them be acquainted with profitability and financial position of the
organization. Reliable information assures them safety of their investment.
Creditor: It helps them to know whether the firm will be financially able to pay their
debt or not, in time.
Bankers/ Lenders: The report can help them to determine whether their principal and
interest will be paid when due.
Employees: It is purposive for them to ascertain how much
emoluments and bonus are possible from the profits of the organization.
Researcher students: The report supplies secondary data for their
research efforts.
The study depends heavily on secondary data and is not free from its Limitations.
It may suffer from the inherent weaknesses of the financial
statements of the organization.
The deadline for the submission of report restricted the depth study.

Ever since the establishment of NIBL is playing a pivotal role to foster in the
economy of Nepal. Strong financial position of the organization is a must to
survive, grow and succeed in this world passing through tumultuous changes. The

help of Ratio Analysis. For this purpose the liquidity ratio, leverage ratio and
profitability ratio were ascertained. The liquidity ratio of the concern shows
calculation of leverage ratio portrays that the financial status of the enterprise is
in somewhat good condition. The profitability ratio of the organization doesn’t
depict a favorable condition. There has been significant diminution in its net
profit from FY 2074/75 to FY 2075/76. Summing up, the bank still needs to
make hard efforts to achieve better outcome.

needs to endeavor to bear low risk by increasing the proportion of financing by the owners.
It has to increase its profit to more satisfactory point by proper utilization of share
members’ fund and other available resources. It needs to endeavor to bear low risk by
