The Investment Income from the Investment in Shares, Bonds and Debenture (IIOSBD= Investment Income from the Investment in Shares, Bonds and Debenture/Total Assets) also occupied a significant proportion of the non interest income. The IIOSBD line has the same shape as NII line which indicates that the IIOSBD hadagreatinfluence onthenii. 13

14 3. Problem Statement Private commercial banks in Bangladesh are continuously making a huge chunk of profit. The profit growth seems to be astonishingly high. Good sign for an economy but question of sustainability arises. Banks are involved in the wide array of other non traditional banking activities. Some of these profit seeking activities may lead banks to take very high exposures to the risk. 14

15 3. Objective of the Study This research study only tries to focus on the Private Commercial Banks (PCB) category because of its hefty profit growth. So the main objectives are: To identify the major determinants of the profitability of Private Commercial Banks in Bangladesh in recent years. To address some policy implications and suggest directions for further study. 15

16 Data: 4. Research Methodology Annual data for all the 30 Private Commercial Banks of Bangladesh for the years 2009 and Sourceofdata:annualreportofeachbank. To capture the recent year s profitability determinants- only two years data has been considered. Nosamplinghasbeenmadetoselectthebanks. Research Method: One dependent and nine explanatory variables have been taken that may influence the profitability of a bank. Two multiple regression analyses have been run for the year 2009 and

18 Dependent Variable: 4. Research Methodology Cont.. Variable Selection Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE) are most commonly used ROAhasbeenusedinthisstudy Bank Specific Independent Variables: Bank specific financial ratios representing capital adequacy, cost efficiency, Income Expenditure mix, asset quality, and size are mostly used internal variables. Some of these variables have been used in the study. Based on the case study of AB bank Ltd. we also considered the investment activities in our variable selection. Macro Economic Independent Variables: GDP, inflation, market interest rates etc. are commonly treated as external determinants that affect bank profitability. This study has not covered any external variables. 18

19 Dependent Variables Independent Variables Definitions and Notation of the Variables Variable Measure Notation Profitability Return on Assets (ROA) = ROA Net Profit/Total Assets Asset Size Natural Logarithm of Total Assets loga Capital Adequacy Equity / Total Assets CA Asset Quality Loans / Total Assets Non-Performing Loans LA NPL / Total Loans Deposit Deposits/Total Assets DP Income-Expenditure Net Interest Margin = Net NIM Structure Interest Income/ Total Assets NII Non-Interest Income = Non-Interest Income /Total Assets Investment Activities Investment in Govt. securities/total IGSEC Assets OI Other Investment/Total Assets So our profitability model would be as follows: ROA = β 0 + β 1 LogA + β 2 CA + β 3 LA + β 4 NPL + β 5 DP + β 6 NIM + β 7 NII + β 8 IGSEC+ β 9 OI + ε 19

20 4. Research Methodology Cont.. Hypotheses of the Study The previous discussion in the overview of the banking sector of Bangladesh and the case study of AB bank Ltd. sections lead us to predict the following hypothesized relationships with respect to the profitability: Hypothesis H1a: Asset size measured by natural logarithm of total assets(loga) has a significant positive impact on ROA Hypothesis H2a: Net Interest Margin (NIM) has a significant positive impact on ROA Hypothesis H3a: Banks with more diversified income measured by Non-Interest Income(NII) tend to be more profitable Hypothesis H4a: Investment activities mainly in quoted and unquoted shares and debentures of private sectors measured by Other Investment(OI) have a significant positive impact on ROA 20

Correlation Matrix among Independent Variables Log A CA LA NPL DP NIM NII IGSEC OI Log A 1 CA LA NPL DP NIM NII IGSEC OI Log A CA LA NPL DP NIM NII IGSEC OI Log A 1 CA LA NPL DP NIM NII IGSEC OI There is no prima facie evidence of multicollinearityfor both the year. 22

23 5. Analysis of The Profitability Determinants cont.. Regression Statistics Multiple R R Square Adjusted R Square Standard Error Observations F Significance F The value of R Square is (0.9711) in the year 2009 (2010) which reflects that the regression model explains 97.72% (97.11%) of the variation in ROA. F-statistic is very much significant. Significance F at 95 percent confidence interval suggesting that both the model are useful to determine the determinants of ROA.. 23

Hypothesis Test Hypothesis H1a: Asset size measured by natural logarithm of total assets(loga) has a significant positive impact on ROA Coefficient = and t= and p= and Result: Rejected Hypothesis H2a: Net Interest Margin (NIM) has a significant positive impact on ROA Coefficient = and t= and p= and Result: Accepted 25

26 5. Analysis of The Profitability Determinants cont.. Hypothesis Test Hypothesis H3a Banks with more diversified income measured by Non- Interest Income(NII) tend to be more profitable Coefficient = and t= and p = and Result: Accepted Hypothesis H4a: Investment activities mainly in quoted and unquoted shares and debentures of private sectors measured by Other Investment (OI) have a significant positive impact on ROA Coefficient = and t= and p= and Result: Accepted 26

27 6. Conclusion and Recommendations Asset size: No significant effect on profitability It suggests that to achieve a higher level of ROA it is not always necessary to be a larger bank Interest income: It is always considered to be the main source of income and found to have positive impact on profitability Major Findings Non-interest income: The most significant variable which affects the profitability This indicates that greater diversification in banking activities positively influence profitability Investment activities: Other Investment- mainly in shares and debentures (quoted and unquoted) of private sectors have a significant positive impact on ROA It suggests that banks which are more exposed to the capital market or invest higher proportion of funds in unquoted shares and debenture may achieve higher profitability 27

28 6. Conclusion and Recommendations Cont.. Policy Relevance Diversified banking activities- bring more new and innovative products and services - can have argument whether it should be welcomed or not Diversification reduces risks, but if the earning includes volatile trading activity in higher proportion the risk may become higher. More exposure in the capital market may bring more risk when speculation rather than the real financial indicators is dominant. New and Innovative products- create more complexity- customers can be exploited by higher fees and commission. Non-traditional activates of banks (other than deposit taking and lending) may lead banks to higher exposure to the risk. So, from the regulatory perspective, risk management should be the key focus. 28

29 6. Conclusion and Recommendations Recommendations The policy direction should be directed in such a way which will enhance the resilience and efficiency of the financial institutions with the aim of intensifying the robustness as well as stability of the banking sector. Capital adequacy should be emphasized so that banks are able to withstand any negative shock Ring-fencing traditional banking from investment banking activities Putting limit on the exposure to risk taking investment activitiescanbeoneofthewaytominimize therisk The risk taking investment activities also should be monitored very closely by the supervisor Fees and commission should be monitored and managed so that a customer is not deceived 29

30 6. Conclusion and Recommendations Cont.. Future Research Direction Inclusion of macroeconomic variables such as GDP growth rate, inflation rate (INF) and real interest rate(ri). UseofPanelDataSet. To analyze the linkage between the bank s profitability and their exposure to the capital market more intensively 30
