INTRODUCTION

1.1. CONCEPT OF BANKING:

Generally, bank is an institution which accepts deposits, makes business loans, and offers related
services. Commercial banks also allow for a variety of deposit accounts, such as checking, saving,
and time deposit. There institutions are run to make a profit and owned by a group of individuals, yet
some may be members of the Federal Reserve System. While commercial banks offer services to
individuals, they are primary concerned with receiving deposits and lending to businesses.
In an economy the bank is regarded as one of
the economic backbone of the country for its development. Bank is a financial institution that deals in
money. The basic function of bank is collecting deposit and granting the loans. It involves in credit
creation that in related to creation of deposit and loan. In the economy, the banks collects small
saving of general people, accumulative it and lends the productive sectors of the society for the
overall economic development.

Various writers have been defined the word bank in different ways.

According to Scholars, The bank is defined as factory of money for credit where it does not
purchase goods and sells it rather produces credit inform of deposit and sells it inform of loans.

According to C.R. Crowther,A banks collects money from those who have it to spare or who are
saving it out of their income and lends this money to those who required it.

Thus in conclusion, we can say that bank is an organization which deals with the monetary
transactions for the mobilization of idle money or deposits in productive sectors, is essentially
essential for the development of the whole net.

1.2. THE BANKING IN NEPAL

In the context of Nepal, like as in other country the goldsmiths and landlord was the
ancient banker. The Nepalese people were highly exploited by shahu mahajan by charging higher
interest rate that is compound interest rate and even by manipulating the principle amounts. If we try
to see the history of banking transaction in depth then evidence of money landing function are found
in practice before 8th century in 780 B.S.

gunakamdev the ruler of Kathmandu reconstructed Kathmandu valley by borrowing dept from the
people. In 14th century tankdhari system had been running in the period of ranodip shing
in Kathmandu established and office called tejarath adda. From the office the government distributed
salary to their employees and provided loan to government employment @5% of interest against the
security gold, silver etc.

Because of the development of economy activities in Nepal the above institutions could
not be fulfilled the need of people. So in kartik 30, 1994 B.S. Nepal bank was established as one of
the semi government commercial bank which had 10 million authorized capital and 842000 paid of
capital. it has done the pioneering function in function spreading the banking habits among the
people. Having felt a need of central bank to control and direct the commercial bank and help the
government for making monitory polices Nepal rastra bank was set up in 14 baishakht, 2013 B.S.

To fulfill the growing credit requirement of the country. The commercial bank i.e. Rastraya Banijya
bank was establishes in 10th bhadra 2022 B.S. this bank also provides facility for the economy
welfare of the general public. Nepal is an agricultural country to develop agriculture system. Industry
agriculture development bank and Nepal industrial development corporation was established in 2024
B.S. 2016 B.S. respectively.

The initiation of the financial sector; liberalization policy by Nepal rastra bank, a board of
joint venture banks entered with the view to accelerate the race of development of nation. At present,
there are many joint venture banks which are running successfully in a competitive environment. His
majesty government deliberates policy of allowing foreign joint venture banks to operate
in Nepal basically targeted, to encourage local tradition commercial bank to enhance their capacity
through competitors efficiencies mechanization modernization prompt customer service. Nepal Arab
bank ltd was established in 2041 as a first foreign joint venture bank.

Now in our country there are 31 commercial bank, 87 development bank, 79 finance company
and 21 micro credit development banks after mid July 2011(licensed by NRB)

1.3. LIST OF COMMERCIAL BANKS IN NEPAL:

The history of financial and economic development in Nepal is not very old. It has gone through
different stages, during the PM Ranodip shingh around 1972 A.D. TEJARATH ADDA was
introduced, which brought a reform in economic and financial section. The main purpose of
TEJARATH ADDA was to provide credit facilities to the general public at confessional rate.
However the installment of KHUSI KHANA as a banking agency during the king Prithivi Narayan
Shah could also be regarded as the first step towards banking in Nepal.

1.6. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMS:

Liquidity is the status and part of the assets which can be used to meet the obligation.
Liquidity can be viewed in term of liquidity stored in the balance sheet and in term of liquidity
available through purchased fund. The degree of liquidity depends upon the relationship between
cash assets plus those assets which can be quickly turned into cash and liability awaiting payments.

Bank needs to maintenance some seasonable level of liquidity to fulfill different commitments
such as provide money to depositors when they demand for administrative expenses, for
maintaining cash reserve ratio in the central bank etc. so, liquidity is defined as the banks capacity
to pay cash in exchange of deposits. Liquidity is crucial in the business like banking. Because if the
bank has the high liquidity it can no on a desired profit and if the bank has the shortfall of the liquidity
it can not satisfy its customers. Inadequate liquidity may lead to collapse of the bank while excess

liquidity is determinant to banks profitability in order to remove demerits associated with maintaining
inadequate and excess liquidity, bank should maintained and optimum level of liquidity. This possible
only when banks liquidity needs is correctly predicted. Prediction covers inflows and outflows of
liquidity. If prediction shows more outflows, bank should be prepared to cover the shortfall by
borrowing or by liquidating assets. If inflow is greater than outflows, bank should plan where to invest
so that income can be increase. Banks attach great importance short terms and long terms
predictions. Prediction of liquidity need should be in the form of primary and secondary reserve so
that bank generates income and at the same time does not compromise to liquidity. Banks got failure
because of wrongly analyzed liquidity position and wrongly predicated liquidity requirement and
management policy of liquidity. Thus to gain the trust of the customers and be success on the
operation, the bank should maintain and forecast the liquidity need for the period and optimum level
of liquidity based on the past liquidity position.

CHAPTER TWO

Review of Literature
This chapter deals with the theoretical aspects of the topic of financial analysis
of Nepal investment bank Ltd. in more detail and descriptive manner. For this study, journals,

articles, and some research reports related with this topic have been reviewed. This study has to
refer almost all books related with this topic published. Some of the prior reports by students of BBS
regarding this topic have also been reviewed.

2.1. Conceptual framework:

One of the sensitive factor or element in the bank is liquidity. Liquidity refers to the
convertibility assets into cash. It means how fast the assets can be change into cash. There are
many assets which are easily converted into cash by the bank. Such as cash in hand, cash at bank,
cash at central bank, investment in government securities. But some assets are difficult to get
converted into cash such as loan and fixed assets.

Liquidity is also defined as the position or capability of a bank to meet the current obligation
of customers such as payment of cheque. Payment of demand drafts, disbursement of approved
loan etc. Bank needs to maintain some reasonable level of liquidity to fulfill different commitments
such as provide money to depositors when they demand for administrative expenses, for
maintaining cash banks capacity to pay cash in exchange of deposits. Liquidity is crucial in the
business like banking. Because if the bank has high liquidity, it can no earn a desire profit and if the
bank has the shortfall of the liquidity it cannot satisfy its customers. Inadequate liquidity may lead to
collapse of the banks while excess liquidity is detrimental to banks profitability. In order to remove
demerits associated with maintaining inadequate and excess liquidity, banks should maintain an
optimum level of liquidity. This possible only when banks liquidity needs is correctly predicted.
Prediction covers in present outflows of liquidity. If prediction shows more outflows, bank should be
prepared to cover the shortfall by borrowing or by liquidating assets. If inflow greater than outflow,
bank should plan where to invest so that income can be increase. Banks attach great importance
short term and long term predictions. Prediction of liquidity need should be in the firm of primary and
secondary reserves so that bank generates income and at the same time does not compromise to
liquidity.

2.1.14. Review from related studies:

Bank needs to maintain some reasonable amount of liquidity to fulfill different commitments.
Such as provide money to depositors when they demand for administrative expenses, for
maintaining cash reserve ratio in the central bank etc. so, liquidity is define banks capacity to pay
cash in exchange of deposits. Liquidity needs of commercial banks are unique because in no other
types of business there will be such large portion of deposits payable on demand. Inadequate
liquidity does damage credits standing of other organization as well but a banks fails to pay the
deposits on demands, the bank loose the faith of the public. Bank may maintain the liquidity in the
form of :

Cash and bank balance

Placement money at short calls or short notice

Investments in gov. securities and other securities convertible into cash

International federation of accountants has recommended the measuring the liquidity of bank by:

Cash and liquid securities

Interbank money deposit liabilities

Liquidity of the bank should be maintained according to standard; excel liquidity as well as lack of
the liquidity indicates that a bank is serious financial problems. The implication of the financial
problem results losing of deposits, which erodes its supply of cash and forces the institutions to
dispose of its safer and more liquid assets. On the other hand, other banks that are strong in liquidity
will be increasingly reluctant to lend the problem bank liquid funds at higher interest rates. Thus, we
can say that it is optimism necessity of the bank to maintain a proper balance between high liquidity
and low liquidity.
The tools used for analysis are:
Cash and bank balance to total deposit ratio
Current deposit to total deposit ratio
Saving deposit to total deposit ratio
Investment to total deposit ratio
And fund fluctuation trend line

CHAPTER FIVE

Summary, Conclusion and Recommendation

5.1. SUMMARY

Nepal is one of the least developed countries of the world. For most of the developing
process, it is financially depending upon the foreign countries. It is economically too weak. Thus, the
economic condition of the people is weak. In Nepal 85% of the people are depended upon
agricultural sector which is unable to provide full employment to the people. Nepal government has
to activate people in the nations development through overall industrialization of nation. For this
purpose, development of sound banking system is essential.

In neplese banking sector, commercial banks including ventures banks are operating at
present. In the absences of modern banking any country cannot develop the economic activity.
Therefore, it is essential to find out whether or not the banks are serving an important contribution to
develop sectors of economy. Liquidity is said to be general business of fund, which shows the bank
ability to meet cash requirement. In this record, this study has been based upon the objective to
evaluate the liquidity position of Nepal investment bank ltd.

5.2. CONCLUSION

a)

The saving deposit account is nearly constant trend. The highest ratio is 0.55 times in fiscal year
2007/08 and the lowest ratio is 0.41 times in fiscal year 2009/10. But the ratio is not satisfactory due
to the last year ratio was decline.

b)

Fixed deposit is fluctuated. The lowest ratio is 0.32 times and highest ratio is 0.48 times. It is
decrease up to fiscal year 2007/08 and grows up then. And it is 0.48 times on 2009/10. It is
satisfactory. Bank made good ratio after 2007/08.

c)

From the cash and bank balance to current deposit liability is fluctuating. The ratio is moving around
between 0.48 times to 0.95 times. It is satisfactory.

d) Cash and bank balance to total deposit ratio is fluctuating. But the ratio is somehow satisfactory
even though the ratio is higher than the central banks prescription. The ratio is moving around the
between 0.05 times to 0.11 times.
e)

Cash and bank balance to total deposit (excluding fixed deposit) ratio is fluctuating in increasing
state. The ratio is satisfactory. It is moving around between 0.08 times to 0.19 times.

f)

The ratio of balance with the NRB to current and saving deposit has been fluctuating. The ratio is
declined in year 2006/07 and constant in 2007/08 and then it is grow up. so, the ratio is satisfactory.

g)

The balance with the NRB to fixed deposit ratio is fluctuating. It is moving around between 0.18
times to 0.39 times.

h)

The investment to total deposit ratio is fluctuating adversely. Since the ratio is fluctuating the bank
has unsatisfactory result. However the investment from source of deposit is
27
higher. It will give a higher return without risk only if the ratio is stabilized.

i)

The liquid assets to total deposit ratio is fluctuating slightly except fiscal year 2005/06. However the
ratio is higher and somehow may be considered satisfactory.

5.3 RECOMMENDATION

a)

The overall results are satisfactory. But in some case the Nepal investment Bank should take
certain steps to improve the bank current financial condition. Therefore some recommendations are
being put forward for its improvement along with its development of the country.

b)

The proportion of the saving deposit account is high in total deposit liability. So, it is recommended
that the bank should utilize the amount collected from the saving deposit account carefully. It should
be invested in the higher yielding areas.

c)

The cash and bank balance in the Nepal investment bank is satisfactory. It is higher a bit though.
Bank should analyze the opportunities for short term investment.

d) Balance with NRB to current plus saving deposit should be maintained at the below than 0.11 times.
e)

Investment to deposit ratio is fluctuating adversely. It may harm the operation of the bank. So, the
investment from the deposit source should always be aware of liquidity need and keep in mind to
maintain the optimum liquidity.

f)

Bank should not spend too much in the fixed assets because it yields only a nominal portion, almost
no yield.
