Effect of Liquidity Risk on the Profitability of Mortgage Banks in Nigeria

Abstract

The study was inspired by the liquidity risk that the Nigerian mortgage banking business faces in terms of profitability. As a result, the study investigates the impact of liquidity risk on the profitability of Nigerian mortgage banks. This research effort was carried out using secondary data and an ex post facto research design. The regression statistical technique in the Statistical Package for Social Sciences SPSS Version 22.0 was used to assess data derived from the financial statements of listed mortgage banks on the Nigerian Stock Exchange NSE . The results of the analysis demonstrate that Loan to Deposit has a substantial impact on mortgage banks net interest margins in Nigeria, and that Current Ratio has a significant impact on mortgage banks net interest margins in Nigeria. It was so recommended, among other things, that bank management adopt sound lending policies and maintain a sufficient balance between loans and deposits, because bank profit is largely dependent on deposits mobilized and liquidity created through loans given.
