CHAPTER- I
INTRODUCTION
Liquidity is the word that the bankers use to describe his ability to satisfy demand for
cash, in exchanging of deposits. Liquidity simply means money less. It is characterized
by the use of converting an asset into money at a little cost. In the assets side of the
balance sheet of the commercial bank, will be liquid assets, which can be easily
converted into cash- such assets are called liquid assets. In another words, a liquid assets
is one which can easily expendable, marketable (transferable) and has capital certainly.
Hence, managing and maintaining sufficient degree of liquid assets is termed as liquidity.
Liquidity can also be defined as the bank’s ability to meet immediate maturing liabilities.
Liquid assets mainly include, Money at call and short deposit, Investment in government
securities such as treasury bills, development bonds, saving bonds etc. Among these, first
two are the most liquid assets and next two are termed as near-liquid assets. But both of
these assets are maintain to meet the liquidity needs of bank. But, however, one
difference among these is that, the most liquid assets don’t earn same returns whereas the
near-liquid asset does.
According to Nepal Commercial Bank Act 2031, 1 (f), “Liquidity is supposed to include
bank cash in vault, amount deposited in current account, amount deposited in Nepal
Rastra Bank and those assets which are specified as liquid. The liquidity management
function of a bank is regular one. Each and every bank attach with great importance of
liquidity for maintaining confidence of customer and its survival. The importance of
liquidity is considered very sensitive because if it can’t maintain the liquidity, it has to
pay fine. The commercial banks and financial institutions should keep the stock of liquid
assets in the ratio of their deposit liability, as fixed by the Nepal Rastra Bank. For the
bank, the words liquidly and profitability come again and again. They are in no
possibility of profitability without liquidity and also there is no growth in liquidity
xi
without profitability. These are complement to each other of high liquidity in Bank; the
bank cannot gain profit because most part of the liquidity is reserved in the bank. It is not
possible to hope profitability without investment. The bank should be aware of the excess
supply of found excess demand of fund in order to move nearest toward the accuracy of
tradeoff between the liquidity and profitability.
The principality of liquidity and profitability are very much crucial. In the lack of
liquidity the bank can’t give payment to the depositors and the creditors. The bank
becomes unable to face any economic rise and fall occurring in coming days. So to keep
liquidity is very important. It is very difficult for the bank to discharge both of these
functions together, to keep liquidity and earn profit are compulsory for the bank. The
bank should maintain understanding between these two principals. If the bank attempts to
run its transaction ignoring these two principals, certainly the bank will bear an economic
disaster. Hence, the bank gives emphasis upon the necessity of internal co-ordination
between liquidity and profitability due to Liquidity is necessary to make payment of al
sorts of deposits. The liquidity and the profitability have their peculiar importance in the
bank. So, from business point of view, it is necessary to maintain balance between
principalities of liquidity and profitability.

performances over past few years. So, the study will be carried out in order to know what
has affected the financial performance of the Nabil bank. Similarly, the aim of the study
is to know about the structural position of Nabil with the help of various ratios. Along
with that, this study will help in knowing the causes of various such problems which had
been leading Nabil bank’s financial performance over past few years.
As per NABIL Act.1984, NABIL related to the commercial banking system has its own
objectives for the welfare of the general people of Nepal. The main objectives of NABIL
Bank Ltd. are as follows:
xiv
Since this study has been conducted on Banking and Insurance for meeting the
requirement of partial fulfillment of BBS level, it constitutes the following importance.
1. It will help to complete BBS level.
2. It will be useful for concerned company as the study has provided suggestions.
3. This study may serve as the guideline for future researchers.

Review of literature
It would not be exaggeration to tell that the bank is the base of economic development of
a country. We can’t imagine the economic development of a country without development
of bank and any other financial institution. The profitability position of NABIL Bank is
comparatively better than other joint venture banks. Its profit is increasing steadily and
must maintain its high profit margin in future. Liquidity position measures the firm’s
ability to satisfy its short-term commitment out of current or liquid assets. Liquidity ratio
analysis employs financial data taken from the bank or firm’s balance sheet and income
statement. Thus, the ratio analysis helps in the accounting numbers. It helps in the
standardizing financial information and making meaning comparison of the firm’s
financial data at different points in time and over time with other firms.
This chapter highlights and deals with the literature relevant to this study. It comprises
review of book, previous studies received, article review and review of policy documents.

Conceptual review
To evaluate the financial performance of a firm, the analyst needs a certain parameters of
the company by which the quantitative relationship and its position come out. The most
widely and effective used tool of the financial analysis is the ratio analysis. The financial
ratio is the measurement of relationship between two accounting figures, expressed in
mathematical way or the numerical relationship between two variables expressed as (i)
percentage or, (ii) fraction or (iii) in proportion of numbers.
Further R.S .Sayers in his book Modern Banking Writers, “Ordinary banking business
consist of changing cash for bank deposits and bank deposits from one person to
xvi
corporation (one depositor to another) giving bank deposits in exchange for bill of
exchange, government banks recurred and unsecured promises businessmen to repay.“
Erich A. H. in his book has described financial analysis as “analytic and judgmental
process that helps to answer the questions that have been properly posed to and therefore,
it is a mean to an end. We can stress enough that financial analysis is an aid that allows
those responsible for results to make sound decisions.”
I.M. Pandey says, "A firm should ensure that it does not suffer from lack of liquid. And
also that it is not too much highly liquid. The failure of a company to meet its obligations,
due to lack of sufficient liquidity will result in bad credit image. Loss of creditor’s
confidence, or even in low suits resulting in the closure of the company. A very high
degree of liquidity is also bad; idle assets earn nothing. The firm’s funds will be
unnecessarily tied up in current assets. Therefore, it is necessary to strike a proper
balance between liquidity and lack of liquid.
Liquidity is measured by the speed with which a bank’s assets can be converted into cash
and other current obligations. It is also important in view of survival and growth of a
bank.
Review of thesis
Various thesis works have done in different aspects of commercial banks such as lending
policy, interest rate structure investment policy, resource mobilization, and capital
structure etc.
Mr. Pragun Shrestha in his study ,”A comparative Analysis of Financial performance
of the Selected commercial Banks”, Concluded that many of the banks are of the view
that political instability in the country is mainly responsible for the decline of the lending
opportunities. Few banks ascribed it to the economic crisis that occurred in Asia pacific
region .No one felt that higher rates on interest on lending to be a major factor. At one
time, it should target not only the urban sector, it should go to the rural sector also. They
have to explore all the potential sectors like tourism etc. in order to generate high rate of
profits.

RESULT & ANALYSIS
Presentation of Data
The main aim of this chapter is presentation and analyzing data according to research
methodology to attain the objective of this study. This chapter is basically concerned with
presentation and analysis of data and the effort had been made to analyze the liquidity
and profitability of five years of the NABIL Bank Ltd. The study has used various
financial tools to measure the liquidity position of commercial banks.
Liquidity ratio
The liquidity ratios are calculated from total deposits, total liquid fund cash in hand total
assets, cash and bank balance and current liabilities of the NABIL as well as using the
formula as given in the methodology. The liquidity of business firm is measured by its
ability to satisfy its short-term obligation as they come due. Liquidity refers to the
solvency of firm’s cover all liquidity position of NABIL Bank Ltd. with the help of
financial data of five years of the bank is as follows”
Current Ratio
The current ratio, one of the most commonly cited liquidity ratios, measures the firm’s
ability to meet its short-term obligations. . It tells investors and analysts how a company
can maximize the current assets on its balance sheet to satisfy its current debt and other
payables. The formula for current ratio is:
Current Ratio =
xxi
The above table and figure shows that the current ratio of the bank has the highest &
better current ratio of 7.36 in 2020/21 and the lowest & worse current ratio of 2.13 in
2018/19 and average ratio is 4.35. In general, it can be said that the bank is able to shore-
team obligate.
Cash and bank balances are the most liquid form of the current assets. The cash and bank
balance ratio indicates the percentage of readily fund with in the bank. It can be
calculated by using following formula:
Cash and bank balance ratio =

The above table and figure shows that the cash and bank balance to current ratio of the
bank was maximum & better is 37.83 in the year 2020/21 and minimum is 7.88 in the
year 2017/18 and average is 19.02.
The cash reserve requirement in the most developed and developing countries have been
used extensively as a mean to control commercial bank credit. Especially in countries
where capital market is not well developed, cash reserve requirement can be used not
only to control the commercial bank credit but also to influence the investment portfolio
of the commercial bank.
Cash and Bank Balance to Total Deposit

The above table and figure shows that cash and bank balance to total deposit ratio of the
bank varies from maximum 5.99 in year 2020/21 and minimum 1.33 in year 2017/18 and
average ratio is 2.96
Profitability Ratio
Profitability ratio measures the overall performance of the firm by determining the
effectiveness of the firm in generating profit. A company should earn profit to service and
grow over a long period of time. Beside management both creditor and owners are
interested in the profitability of the principal regularly while owners want to get a
reasonable return on their investment. The following ratios are used to measure the
profitability position of NABIL Bank Ltd. With the help of financial data of the past five
year of the bank are as follows.

The above table and figure show that, in the fiscal year 2016/17, the ratio of net profit to
loan and advance is 5.13 but has been decreasing since then, it reached 4.23 in the fiscal
year 2020/21.
Statistical Tools
Various statistical tools may be used for the evaluation of liquidity and profitability of the
banks such as Correlation Analysis, Measure of Central Tendency, Theory of Dispersion
and Estimation whatever is required.”Statistical analysis is one particular language which
describes the data and makes possible to talk about the relations and the difference of the
variables. These tools are used to calculate the mean, standard deviation, coefficient of
variation and Karl’s Pearson’s correlation coefficient between cash, bank balance and
total deposit.

CV
CV of CBB X100%= 443.12X 100% = 78.49%
CV of TD X100% = 3710.5 X 100% =21.73%
The coefficient of variation measures that can sentiency (variability) of the observation
with reference to above calculations; there is uniformity in the changes of CBB as
compared to the total deposit because CV of CBB is greater then CV of TD i.e. 78.49%
>21.73%.
Going through the presentation and analysis of the information of NABIL BANK ltd, the
researcher has found the following things.

CHAPTER- III
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
Nepal is one of the less developed countries of the world for most of the developing
process. It is financially depend on the foreign country. It is economically too weak in
Nepalese banking industries. At present, modern commercial banks made the economy
always alive and smart to run and maintain day to day commercial economic and banking
transactions. Commercial bank including joint venture bank is operating in Nepalese
industries. It is remarkable fact that any country cannot have a developed economy in the
absence of modern banking system because any development works a sufficient capital
and a lack of sufficient capital is also one of the main reasons as to why Nepal has been
backward for developing its economy.
So, it is utterly important to find out whether or not the banks are serving an importance
contribution to developed difference sector of the economy. In this record this study has
been based upon the objective to evade the liquidity and profitability position of NABIL
Bank Ltd.
NABIL Bank has come out as a leading and the most profitable of Nepal among the joint
venture banks. Thus, banks play vital role for the country and its people in the proper way
by making all the policy properly. General activities and management of commercial
banks directly the economic development of Nepal. From the above finding, it has been
concluded that profitability position of NABIL Bank’s profit was increasing steadily and
must maintain its high profit margin in future. NABIL Bank has maintained more
liquidity this year as compare to previous year, which means NABIL Bank has more
chances to fulfill the demand of depositors. According to annual report published by
NABIL Bank, the deposition of NABIL was in increasing trend. It is a joint venture bank
adopting innovative & latest banking technology. The bank provides different facilities
like credit card facility, tele-banking, any branch banking, ATM (24 hour service). The
bank collects deposits in the form of current, saving, fixed, call & others, but the majority
xxxi
of deposits are in the saving a/c. This bank is also able to collect sufficient foreign deposit
despite of economic crises.
Basically, the data are of secondary nature. Time and resource are the constraints of the
study. Therefore the study may not be generalized in all cases. I have tried my best to
analyze and interpret the financial status of Nabil Bank Limited. However, this study
cannot be considered as a complete. Others may interpret it in different way since the
perspectives of analysis differ widely.
