Journal Title: Journal of Economics, Finance and Management Studies - Year 2021, Vol 4, Issue 09
Abstract
This study examined the effect of international liquidity channels on the profitability of quoted commercial banks in Nigeria. The objective was to examine the direction which international liquidity channel affects commercial banks profitability. Return on equity was used as dependent variable while Monetary policy channels proxy by percentage of net foreign assets, financial market channel proxy by percentage of net foreign portfolio investment, international trade channel proxy by percentage of Nigeria terms of trade, capital mobility channel proxy by net foreign direct investment and currency channel proxy by variation of Nigeria naira to US dollar. Panel data of return on equity were sourced from financial reports of the commercial banks while international liquidity variables were sourced from Central banks of Nigeria statistical bulletin. Ordinary least square methods were used as data analysis methods. The study found that 50.3 percent of the variation in return on equity of the commercial banks is explained by the variables in the equation. Monetary policy channel, international trade channel and currency have negative effect on return on equity while financial market channel and capital mobility channel has positive and no significant effect on return on equity of the commercial banks. The study recommends that Central Bank of Nigeria should adopt an appropriate macro prudential framework to enable Nigeria banks become internationally active in terms of liquidity and solvency. The depreciating naira exchange rate should be integrated to the monetary and the macroeconomic policies to avert its negative effect on the economy and the banking industry. The regulatory authorities and the bank management should formulate policies to manage international monetary shocks, the international financial environment and global financial crises to enhance Nigerian banking system soundness.
