EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The purpose of this paper is to analyze and compare the performances of three banking
groups of Bangladesh on the basis of eight selected tools from 2008 to 2014. The private
commercial banks (PCBs), the foreign banks (FCBs) and the Islamic banks (IBs) are the three
groups those the researcher selected for the study. The selected eight tools were: deposits,
total assets, net interest income, net income, return on assets, return on equity, number of
branches and number of employees. The researcher wanted to find out if the performances of
these three banking groups are significantly different from each other or not and if they differ
than in which areas they do this. The researcher also wanted to know if the net interest
incomes of these three banking groups can be predicted or not if deposits and the number of
branches are already known.

In order to prepare the paper the secondary sources of data were greatly used, specially the
annual reports published by Bangladesh Banks from 2008 to 2015. Trend analysis, hypothesis
testing and regression analysis of were conducted to find out the results. All of the ANOVA
tests were conducted at a 5% significance level for greater acceptance of the paper.

It has been found from the study that the performances of the three banking groups are
significantly different from each other in case of deposits, total assets, net interest income, net
income, return on assets, number of branches and employment generation. However the
performances of the banks in case of return on equity are not significantly different from each
other. In terms of volume and the market share of deposits and assets, the PCBs rank first. In
terms of the growth of deposits and assets, the IBs rank first. In terms of volume of net
interest income the PCBs rank first followed by the IBs. The FCBs are the best in terms of
return on assets ratio. But no bank is better in terms of return on equity ratio. The PCBs have
the maximum number of branches in the country with an upwarding slope, followed by the
IBs. Despite being similar to the IBs in size the FCBs have very few branches comparatively.
The PCBs generate the maximum amount of employment, followed by the IBs. Deposits and
branch expansion are negatively correlated with the net interest income in case of the PCBs
and the FCBs respectively. But thses two variables are strongly and positively correlated with
the net interest income in case of the IBs.

It is suggested that the banks who want to improve their profitability in terms of return on
equity ratio must focus on the use of optimum capital structure. The FCBs must not increase
their branches as long as they find out the reason for not increasing net interest income in
response to their branch expansion.

The researcher worked on the recent seven years’ data only for analyzing and drawing the
conclusion. If the data could be increased then the results would show almost the exact
scenario of the banking industry. Also, the work of this paper excluded the specialized
commercial banks and the state owned commercial banks from the study and hence does not
deal with their performances. Besieds these, the researcher suggest that a research be
conducted adressing the issue of the number of banks that should stay in an economy.

Keywords: SCBs, DFIs, PCBs, FCBs, IBs, Conventional Bank, Islamic Banks.

1.4. SCOPE OF THE STUDY


This research paper addresses the performance only of the private, foreign and islamic

commercial banks of Bangladesh. Due to lack of time the non-scheduled banks, the SCBs and

the DFIs of Bangladesh are not included in the population of the study and hence their

performances are not addressed in this research work.

1.5. RATIONALE OF THE STUDY


The thesis paper on - “A Study on Performance Evaluation of Commercial Banks in

Bangladesh: A Comparative Scenario of Private, Foreign and Islamic Banks” will be helpful

especially for the students of banking in many ways. The benefits of the report are that

students can have a clear-cut idea about:

PAGE 4
A STUDY ON PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF THE COMMERCIAL BANKS IN BANGLADESH Chapter - 1

 The current banking system of Bangladesh

 Their performances in different aspects

 Their problems and advantages

 Which banks are better than whom and for which reasons

 What are the differentiating factors among them

 Their prospects as well

These types of information gathered in the process of making the report will be helpful in

corporate life and most probably this is why the thesis paper has been assigned to the

researcher.

1.6. REPORT ORGANIZATION


The report is divided into the following six sections:

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5

• The Introductory part • Literature Review • Industry Overview • Analysis and • Findings and
and Research Gap Interpretation Recommendations

Literature Review and Research Gap deals with the results of the previously conducted

studies in the similar area. Industry Overview depicts the current banking structure of

Bangladesh in brief. Anlysis and Interpretation is all about data analysis and interpretation.

Finally Findings and Recommendation presents the results of the studies along with their

corresponding suggestions.

1.7. LIMITATIONS
While preparing the research paper, some difficulties had to be faced:

1.7.1. AVAILABILITY OF DATA


Category-wised data of Islamic Banks were found up to 2014 only. From 2014 to onwards,

the data of IBs are included in those of private commercial banks and hence cannot be

separated. For this reason the paper addresses the timeline of 2008-2014 of all of the three

banking groups.

Review

2.1. LITERATURE REVIEW


A literature review discusses published information in a particular subject area within a

certain time period. There is a few research works on the evaluation of the comparative

performances among the private commercial banks, foreign banks and Islamic banks of

Bangladesh. From different official journals as well as other reports from unofficial sources,

it was found that the performances of the three types of bank are different from each other.

The research works of Mahmud and Islam (2006), Islam and Ashrafuzzaman (2015), Sujan,

et al. (2013), Islam, Siddiqui, Hossain and Karim (2014) are worth mentioning and their

results are presented below in brie:

Mahmud and Islam (2006) tried to measure the comparative performances of four types of

conventional banks viz. National Commercial Banks (NCBs), State-owned Commercial

Banks (SBs), Private Commercial Banks (PCBs), Foreign Commercial Banks (FCBs) and

Islamic Banks (IBs) operating in Bangladesh from period 2000 to 2005. They used some

common indicators such as general business measures, profitability measures, management

soundness measures, and social profitability measures. The study found that, NCBs aggregate

deposits, market share of deposits, market share of advances, market share of total business

and total business were higher than any other types of bank during the years. On the other

hand the growth rate of deposits, the growth of the total investments, the growth rate of

advances, the growth rate of total business of Islamic Banks were the highest of all categories

of banks. The incomes of the PCBs and the IBs were relatively higher in the latest year than

any type of bank. That is, in terms of aggregate amount and share, the NCBs were doing well

while in terms of growth rate, the IBs were well.

Islam and Ashrafuzzaman (2015) evaluated the financial performance of Islamic and

conventional banks of Bangladesh through CAMEL test during the period of 2009 to 2013.

CAMEL test is a standard test to check the health of financial institutions and to determine

the performance of banks. A sample of five listed conventional banks and five listed Islamic

banks were selected to study the objectives. The study found that, Islamic banks performed

better in case of capital adequacy, asset quality, earnings ability and liquidity position.

Conventional banks, on the other hand, were found to be more efficient in managing

operating expenses as its mean ratio is lower than Islamic banks ratio.

Sujan, et al. (2013) studied the performance of five conventional and five Islamic banks of

Bangladesh from period 2008 to 2012 on banks profitability and liquidity. T-test and F-test

have been used in determining the significance of the differential performance of the two

groups of bank. The study found difference on the profitability. But they found no significant

difference in the liquidity position of the banks.

Safiullah (2010) focused on the financial performance analysis of both conventional and

islamic banks to measure superiority. The study indicated that financial performance viz.

business developments, profitability, liquidity and solvency, commitment to economy and

community, efficiency and productivity of both types of banks is notable. The study found

that, conventional banks were doing better than Islamic banks. But performance of interest-

free Islamic banks in business development, profitability, liquidity and solvency was superior

to that of conventional banks. That is, comparatively Islamic banks were superior in financial

performance to that of interest-based conventional banks.

Islam, Siddiqui, Hossain and Karim (2014) studied the performance of the overall banking

sector of the country from period 2004 to 2011. They divided the whole banking sector into

four categories: State-Owned Commercial Banks (SCBs), Development Financial Institutions

(DFIs), Private Commercial Banks (PCBs) and Foreign Commercial Banks (FCBs) where

Islamic Banks were included in the PCBs. The study found that, in terms of Capital

Adequacy Ratio (CAR), NPL to total Loan ratio and Return on Assets, the FCBs ranked first.

The SCBs on the other hand performed better in case of Expenditure-Income Ratio and

maintaining enough Liquid assets.

2.2. RESEARCH GAP


Mahmud and Islam (2006) in “A Comparative Study on Performance Evaluation of

Conventional Banks and Islamic Banks in Bangladesh with Special Reference to Islami Bank

Bangladesh Limited” paper attempted to measure the comparative performances among the

four types of conventional banks and Islamic Banks operating in Bangladesh from period

2000 to 2005. But this new research will address the data from 2008 to 2014. The result of

this research may vary from that of old research because of using newer data. This may

represent the more realistic scenario due to the changes of different macroeconomic variables

those have happened recently.

Islam and Ashrafuzzaman (2015) in “A Comparative Study of Islamic and Conventional

Banking in Bangladesh: Camel Analysis” paper evaluated the financial performance of

Islamic and conventional banks of Bangladesh solely through CAMEL test. This new

research will address various financial key variables. Also the researchers used a sample of

five listed conventional banks and five listed Islamic banks only. In this new research, the

group performance of all of the banks under the three categories (the PCBs, the FCBs and the

IBs) will be evaluated. In short, the newer research will deal with population, not with

samples.

Sujan, et al. (2013) studied the performance of only five conventional and five Islamic banks

of Bangladesh from period 2008 to 2012. This newer research will focus on the categorical

performances of all of the banks belonging to the three categories.

Islam, Siddiqui, Hossain and Karim (2014) in their “Performance Evaluation of the Banking

Sector in Bangladesh: A Comparative Analysis” paper studied the performance of the overall

banking sector of the country from period 2004 to 2011. They divided the whole banking

sector into four categories where Islamic Banks were included in the PCBs. They did not

analyze the performance of the IBs of the country separately. This newer research will

evaluate the performance of the IBs separately.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
A STUDY ON PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF THE COMMERCIAL BANKS IN BANGLADESH Chapter - 3

3.1. THE CURRENT BANKING SECTOR IN BANGLADESH


The banking industry of the country has different types of banks with different types of

objectives, commitment and motto. The industry is composed of 6 types of banks; Cenral

Bank, State owned Commercial Banks (SCBs), Specialized banks (DFIs), Foreign

Commercial Banks (FCBs), Private Commercial Banks (PCBs) and Islamic Banks (IBs).

According to the latest schedule published by Bangladesh Bank in 2016, there are 56

scheduled banks are running in the country - 6 SCBs, 2 DFIs, 29 PCBs, 9 FCBs and 8 IBs.

The number of branches of these banks is 9131.

Different types of banks give priority to different stakeholders. While the private sector banks

are guided primarily by profit motive, SCBs are committed to social and economic

considerations. Among private banks, islamic banks are different as they operate beyond the

narrow scope of commercial motive. Table 1 shows the names of the Banks along with their

numbers and categories:

3.2. POSITION, PERFORMANCE AND MARKET SIZES OF THE BANKS


Table 2 below shows the banking structure and market share of various types of banks in

Bangladesh in 2014. It is found that the five SCBs in the country have 3553 branches, which

is the highest among the bank types. Currently thirty one PCBs are operating in the country

but they have 3074 branches which is less than the SCBs. However, PCBs occupy 45.45% of

the total industry assets despite having less number of bank branches than SCBs. SCBs have

only 27.53% of industry assets which is almost half of the PCBs. Three DFIs have 1500 bank

PAGE 11
A STUDY ON PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF THE COMMERCIAL BANKS IN BANGLADESH Chapter - 3

branches which is quite significant in number but they have the least percentage of market

share (3.65%) in the industry assets. Nine FCBs have only 70 bank branches which is the

least among the types of bank but they own almost six percentages (5.52%) of the total

industry assets. Eight Islamic Banks, on the other hand, own 17.85% of the total market asset

in CY2014.

In this study, the researcher used total deposits and total assets under General Business

Measure to give a brief idea about the positions of the banks. The researcher also used return

on assets, return on rquity, net income and net interest/profit income under Profitability and

finally branch expansion and employment generation under Social profitability to make a

comparative analysis about the performance of the three banking groups from 2008 to 2014.

4.1.1. GENERAL BUSINESS MEASURES


Mobilizing deposits is one of the principal functions of commercial banks. Deposits are the

foundation upon which banks stand and grow, as they do business not with their own money

but with others’. The ability of a bank to attract deposits from individual and businesses is an

important measure of the bank’s acceptance by the public. Total assets, on the other hand, are

the principal source of income of a bank that ensures the viability and sustainability of the

bank. Growth of income is nothing but the outcome of a bank’s basic operations.

Chart 5: The amount of total deposits. (Source: Bangladesh Bank Annual Report, 2008-2015)

Chart 5 shows a steady growth of the total deposit of the IBs, FCBs and PCBs. The total

deposits of Islamic banks were 387.1 billion in 2008 that increased to 1349.7 billion in 2014,

showing a growth of almost 249% within seven years. On the other hand, the total deposit of

PCBs increased to 3099.7 billion in 2014, showing a growth rate of almost 191%. But as

FCBs are fewer in number as well as in branches, total deposits of FCBs did not increase

significantly.

Chart 6 indicates that the market share trend of deposit by the FCBs has been decreasing over

the years. It came down from 12.86% in 2008 to 6.83% in 2014. Market share of deposit by

the PCBs were down in 2010, but increased in 2011. On the other hand, during the same

period the market share of the IBs went up from 23.25% in 2008 to 28.26% in 2014, showing

an upward slope.

Chart 7 shows a significant growth of the total assets of the PCBs and the IBs. The aggregate

assets of all Islamic banks were 464.5 billion in 2008 that increased to 1432 billion in 2014

showing a significant increase within a short span of seven years. During the same period the

PAGE 17

aggregate deposits of the PCBs increased to 4355.1 billion from 1330 billion. But the assets

of the FCBs did not increas significantly.

Chart 8 indicates that trend of the market share of total assets by the FCBs has been

decreasing over the last four years. It came down from 12.90% in 2008 to 8.03% in 2014. But

during the period PCBs grabbed the market share of deposit quite significantly from 64.55%

in 2008 to 69.22% in 2014. This trend does not show any consistancy in case of the IBs – the

trend is neither upward nor downward.

4.1.2. PROFITABILITY MEASURES


Profitability is an important index of operational efficiency of an organization. Analysis of

profitability of an enterprise provides an insight into the effectiveness in utilization of funds

in the enterprise and also managerial efficiency. Because of shortage of time the researcher

used only three indicators to measure the profitability performance.

In Chart 9, we find that total interest income (profit income for the IBs) of PCBs, FCBs and

IBs are relatively higher in 2014. The net interest income of the FCBs fell down in 2011 but

they managed to recover it from the next year. On the other hand over the years the IBs kept

showing a gradual increasing trend and upward slope.

managed to increase their net profit to 11.66 billion in 2010 from 5.71 billion, but FCBs

showed a decline in the trend of net profit; from 11.38 billion to 6.46 billion. On the other

Chart 11 shows that the FCBs have a very significant high return on assets during last seven

CY than any other banks have. It stays always at the top in respect of ROA. Then the PCBs

come. The ratio of the PCBs and the IBs fluctuates very much over the time. From CY12 to

CY14 this ratio both of the PCBs and the IBs are almost same and are heading towards the

same direction.

say which bank stays at the top in respect of return on equity. There is no consistency in the

trends.

4.1.3. SOCIAL PROFITABILITY MEASURES


Social Profitability implies the contribution of a bank to the society. Creation of employment,

expansion of branches etc. are the key indicators of social profitability measures.

Chart 13 shows that the numbers of Branches of the PCBs, FCBs and IBs have an increasing

trend. PCBs occupy the maximum number of branches among the three types of Banks. On

the other hand, FCBs occupy the least number of branches. Despite being similar to the FCBs

regarding the number of banks, the IBs hold more branches than those of the FCBs.

The above ANOVA table indicates that the calculated value of F is 299.23, which is more

than the table value of 3.68 at 5% level of significance. Hence, the null hypothesis is rejected.

It means that there is a significant difference regarding employment generation among all the

three banking groups.

4.3. MULTIPLE REGRESSION TEST


When the relationship between one dependent variable and two or more independent

variables is intended to test in statistical terms, then multiple regression is used.

4.3.1. VARIABLES
i. Dependent Variable. A dependent variable is the variable that gets changes due to the

changes occured in other variable(s). It is the variable that a researcher wants to

predict in his research work.

ii. Independent Variable(s). An independent variable is the variable that brings changes

in the dependent variable.

The researcher wanted to analyze the determinants of net interest income of the three banking

groups. For this analysis, three variables are included in this study. One of them is the

dependent and the others are as explanatory or independent variables. The variables are as

follow:

Dependent Variable Independent Variables


Net Interest income 1. Deposits
2. The number of branches

PAGE 28
A STUDY ON PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF THE COMMERCIAL BANKS IN BANGLADESH Chapter - 4

Net Interest Income is the difference between interest earned on loans and advances minus

interest paid on deposits. Deposits are considered as banks’ main source of funding and are

the lowest cost of funds. The more deposits are transformed into loans, the higher the interest

income and profit. Hence, deposits generally have positive impact on net inerest income.

But if a bank cannot transform its deposits into loans efficiently it may bring negative impact

on net interest income also. The banking business expands by the establishment of branches.

They must have some impact on net interest income.

4.3.2. MODEL AND HYPOTHESIS


Since the researcher wanted to predict the Net Interest Income by deposits and the number of

branches, the regression model was as follows:

Y1 = a+b1X1+b2X2

Where, Y1 = Net Interest Income

a = constant term

b1 = regeression coefficient for deposits

b2 = regression coefficient for number of branches

X1 and X2 = Deposits and Number of Branches respectively.

The researcher predicted the following hypothesized relationships:

Hypothesis H1a: Deposits of PCBs, FCBs and IBs have a significant relationship with Net

Interest Income.

Hypothesis H2a: The Number of Branches of PCBs, FCBs and IBs has a significant

relationship with Net Interest Income.

Multiple R represents the degree of correlation between the dependent and the independent

variables. For this regression model the value is 0.91. It means that the degree of correlation

between net interest income and deposits and the number of branches of the PCBs is positive

and strongly correlated.

R Square measures the variance in dependent variable that can be explained by the variance

of the independent variables. The value for this regression model is 0.84, meaning that 84%

variance in net interest income of PCBs can be explained by the variance of deposits and the

number of branches jointly.

The closer the value of Adjusted R Square to 1, the fewer the independent variables are

needed. The value of adjusted R square for this regression model is 0.75, meaning that the

researcher can include some other independent variables for the proper explanation of the

PAGE 30
A STUDY ON PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF THE COMMERCIAL BANKS IN BANGLADESH Chapter - 4

model. As there are only two independent variables in the model, it is assumed that the

inclusion of other independent variables can make the model more predictory.

The multiple regression model that can be produced from the results is as follows:

NII = -119.59-0.01Deposit+0.11Branch

The slope of deposit is -0.01 in this model. That means one unit increase in deposits of the

PCBs will decrease 1% net interest income, if other things remain the same. On the other

hand the slope of the number of branches is 0.11. That means per unit increase in the number

of branches of the PCBs will increase 11% net interest income, if other things remain the

same. Since the F Value is greater than that of Significance F Value (10.14 > 0.03), we

reject the null hypothesis and accept Hypothesis H1a and H2a that deposits and the number

of branches of the PCBs have a significant relationship with Net Interest Income.

Multiple R represents the degree of correlation between the dependent and the independent

variables. For this regression model the value is 0.73. It means that the degree of correlation

between net interest income and deposits and the number of branches of the FCBs is positive

and strongly correlated.

R Square measures the variance in dependent variable that can be explained by the variance

of the independent variables. The value for this regression model is 0.53, meaning that 53%

variance in net interest income of the FCBs can be explained by the variance of deposits and

the number of branches jointly.

The closer the value of Adjusted R Square to 1, the fewer the independent variables are

needed. The value of adjusted R square for this regression model is 0.30, meaning that the

researcher can include some other independent variables for the proper explanation of the

model. As there are only two independent variables in the model, it is assumed that the

inclusion of other independent variables can make the model more predictory.

The multiple regression model that can be produced from the results is as follows:

NII = 7.34+0.09Deposit-0.25Branch

The slope of deposit is 0.09 in this model. That means one unit increase in deposits of the

FCBs will increase 9% net interest income, if other things remain the same. On the other

hand the slope of the number of branches is -0.25. That means per unit increase in the number

of branches of the FCBs will decrease 25% net interest income, if other things remain the

same. Since the F Value is greater than that of Significance F Value (2.28 > 0.22), we reject

the null hypothesis and accept Hypothesis H1a and H2a that deposits and the number of

branches of the FCBs have a significant relationship with Net Interest Income.

R Square measures the variance in dependent variable that can be explained by the variance

of the independent variables. The value for this regression model is 0.97, meaning that 97%

The multiple regression model that can be produced from the results is as follows:

The slope of deposit is 0.11 in this model. That means one unit increase in deposits of the IBs

slope of the number of branches is 0.33. That means, per unit increase in the number of

branches of the IBs will increase 33% net profit income, if other things remain the same.

Since the F Value is greater than that of Significance F Value (56.27 > 0.00), we reject the

null hypothesis and accept Hypothesis H1a and H2a that deposits and the number of

branches of the IBs have a significant relationship with Net Profit Income.

FINDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
A STUDY ON PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF THE COMMERCIAL BANKS IN BANGLADESH Chapter - 5

5.1. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS


There are many banks in the country. Among the banks, the PCBs are the best almost in

every cases. But this sector is facing a great competition by the IBs of the country. Despite

being fewer in number, the IBs have the ability to surpass the PCBs in near future. Based on

the overall study the findings found are presented below along with their corresponding

recommendations:

Objective No. 1: To study the current banking structure of Bangladesh

Findnig No. 1: The country’s banking sector is composed of six types of banks – one is the

central bank and the rest of them are different kinds of commercial banks. The commercial

banks are divided into five categories – Specialized Commercial Banks (DFIs), State Owned

Commercial Banks (SCBs), Private Commercial Banks (PCBs), Foreign Commercial Banks

(FCBs) and Islamic Commercial Banks (IBs). Currently they are fifty six in number. Six of

these the SCBs, two of these are the DFIs, twenty nine of these are the PCBs, nine of these

are the FCBs and eight of these are the IBs. The total number of the branches of the banks is

9131.

Recommendation No. 1: The number of classical banks in the world has reduced. In the

majority of countries the number of banks does not exceed 200. Many researchers drew the

conclusions of the economic theory about the optimum structure of the banking market. The

empirical analysis shows that the number of banks in a country is influenced by the size of its

territory, population number and GDP per capita. What should be the optimum banking

structure in Bangladesh is subject to a different study and the researcher highly recommends

that a research be conducted on this isuue.

Objective No. 2: To analyze whether there is any difference regarding the performances of

the three banking groups of Bangladesh on the basis of some selected tools

Findnig No. 2: Acording to the results produced by ANOVA test at 5% confidence level it

was found that the performances of the three banking groups are significantly different from

PAGE 35
A STUDY ON PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF THE COMMERCIAL BANKS IN BANGLADESH Chapter - 5

each other in case of deposits, total assets, net interest income, net income, return on assets,

number of branches and employment generation. However the performance of the banks in

case of return on equity is not significantly different from each other. That means, no bank is

better or worse in case of return on equity ratio.

Recommendation No. 2: Return on equity is a measure of profitability that calculates how

much profit a company generates with each money of shareholders. The higher the ratio is the

better the company performs. It is the tool that the three banking groups have to differentiate

themselves from each other. Banks who want to improve the ratio must focus on the balanced

use of equity in their capital structure. More equity given some same returns results in lower

return on equity ratio. Lower returns given some same amount of equity also results in lower

return on equity ratio.

Objective No. 3: To evaluate the category wise performances of the banks

Findnig No. 3: In terms of volume and the market share of deposits and assets, the PCBs

rank first. In terms of the growth of deposits and assets, the IBs rank first. In terms of volume

of net interest income the PCBs rank first followed by the IBs. The FCBs on the other hand

are the best in terms of return on assets ratio – they are always at the top in this area. It means

that they are very much efficient in utilizing their assets in order to earn the maximum return.

But no bank is better in terms of return on equity ratio. The PCBs have the maximum number

of branches in the country with an upwarding slope; followed by the IBs. Despite being

similar to the IBs in size the FCBs have very few branches comparatively. The PCBs

generate the maximum amount of employment, followed by the IBs.

Recommendation No. 3: Although the number of the FCBs and the IBs are almost same,

the FCBs always lag behind the IBs except in the case of return on assets. The FCBs must

come forward with the concept of financial inclusion to achieve more market share. Given

PAGE 36
A STUDY ON PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF THE COMMERCIAL BANKS IN BANGLADESH Chapter - 5

that no banking group is better in case of return on equity, the banks must focus on the use of

the optimum capital structure.

Objective No. 4: To understand how the net interest income of the banks are affected by

their deposits and the number of branches

Findnig No. 4: The researcher wanted to find found if the net interest income of the banks

can be predicted or not if deposits and the number of branches are already known. The null

hypotheses were rejected and it has been found that deposits and the number of branches are

significantly related with net interest income for every banking group. Deposits are

negatively correlated with net interest income for the PCBs, meaning that they cannot

transform their deposits into loans efficiently, alothough branch expansion is positively

correlated and the explanatory power of the model is very strong (R 0.91, R Square 0.84).

Branch expansion on the other hand is negatively correlated with net interest income for the

FCBs, meaning that they cannot earn net interest income solely by the expansion of branches

and the correlation is moderate to strong (R 0.73 and R Square 0.53). Net Profit income is

positively related with deposits and the number of branches for the IBs and the correlation is

very strong (R 0.98 and R Square 0.97).

Recommendation No. 4: The PCBs must be efficient enough in order to grab the market for

giving loan since they cannot use their deposits efficiently for converting into loans. The

FCBs must not increase their branches as long as they find out the reason for not increasing

net interest income in response to their branch expansion. This is possibly why they do not

establish branches very frequently.
