Banking Sector Performance and Non-Performing Loans in Nigeria (1990-2016)
Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Economics and Finance - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract:The study examined impact of non-performing loans on bank performance in Nigeria between 1990 and 2016. Both return on asset ROA and profit after tax are two financial performance indicators used as dependent variables. Other independent variables used are non-performing loans, loan and advances, total deposits and lending rates. Auto-regressive distributed lags ARDL and Vector auto-regression VAR are applied. The results show that all the variables show significant long and short run relationships with ROA but not with PAT. The relationship between PAT and NPL with other variables are analysed via VAR since cointrgration could not be established. The VAR result indicates that PAT as measure of bank performance is more responsive to changes in total deposits more than any other variable including the NPL. It is concluded that ROA appears to be a better measure of bank performance when studying effects of NPL as it shows that it has significant negative impact on ROA but the PAT does not show any significant response to NPL. Keywords:Nonperforming loans, Banking sector performance, Return on asset.
