Abstract

Credit risk management is an essential function of banking institutions because it helps minimize loan defaults, protect financial assets, and ensure long-term profitability. This study examines the scope and importance of credit risk management in The South Indian Bank Ltd. by analysing credit appraisal practices, loan monitoring, borrower assessment, recovery mechanisms, regulatory compliance, and overall banking performance. The study adopted a descriptive research design using both primary and secondary data collected from 100 respondents through a structured questionnaire. Multiple Linear Regression Analysis was selected as the statistical tool to examine the influence of credit risk management practices on banking performance. The findings indicate that effective credit risk management significantly improves financial stability and operational efficiency.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Credit Risk Management Practices in the Commercial Banks of Paro Dzongkhag

Credit Risk Management (CRM) is essential for the stability and profitability of commercial banking institutions. This study evaluates the effectiveness of CRM practices implemented in commercial banks in Paro Dzongkhag, Bhutan. The information was collected through structured questionnaires distributed to all the relevant employees of five commercial banks located in Paro Dzongkhag. Results indicate that overall, respondents regard the CRM practices of the banks as effective; high scores were given to practices like collateral enforcement, credit limit setting and monitoring, systematic loan evaluation, and compliance with well-defined credit policies, hence showing strong pre- and post-loan supervising practices. The basic appraisal processes, such as creditworthiness assessment and regular credit scoring, were also rated positively, indicating a well-developed assessment system. On the other hand, lower ratings were observed in the areas of early warning systems aimed at detecting potential defaults, integration between credit officers and risk management units, and staff training on credit risk policies. These findings indicate that, although the institutions have strong policy underpinnings, much more remains to be done to improve proactive risk identification, interdepartmental cooperation, and continuous employee growth. In general, the paper finds that CRM practices among Paro Dzongkhag commercial banks are highly successful; however, the mitigation of the risks by the banks could be enhanced by enriching them with early warning systems, coordination procedures, and training systems, which can serve as practical recommendations to the decision makers of the commercial banks in Bhutan.

Credit Risk Management on the Performance of Commercial Banks in Nigeria

This article examines the effect of credit risk management on the performance of commercial banks in Nigeria between 2009 and 2023. Using an ex-post facto research design, secondary data were obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletins and banks’ annual reports. The model employed return on assets (ROA) as a proxy for bank performance, while non-performing loans (NPLs), cash reserve ratio (CRR), and interest rate (INTR) were used as measures of credit risk. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression was applied to evaluate the relationships. The results reveal that NPLs had a positive but statistically insignificant effect on ROA, while CRR also showed a positive but insignificant relationship. Conversely, interest rates exhibited a negative but insignificant impact on profitability. The joint F-test further confirmed that credit risk variables did not significantly explain variations in bank performance within the article period. These findings suggest that other structural, institutional, and macroeconomic factors play a more decisive role in shaping profitability outcomes than the credit risk indicators considered. The article concludes that while credit risk management remains a core function of banking operations, its direct influence on profitability in Nigeria is limited. It recommends strengthening credit recovery mechanisms, improving operational efficiency, enhancing corporate governance, and diversifying income streams to improve the resilience and performance of Nigerian commercial banks.

The Influence of Asset Management Risk on Bank’s Financial Performance in Indonesia

By taking into account the capital adequacy ratio, bank size, and financial leverage, this study seeks to examine the impact of asset management risk on the financial performance of Indonesian banks. Purposive sampling was used to choose 32 banks that were listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2020 and 2024. Panel data regression was used to analyse the data. The findings indicate that while financial leverage has a large negative impact on financial performance, interest rate risk, credit risk, and the capital adequacy ratio have a considerable beneficial impact. The financial performance of banks is not significantly impacted by liquidity risk or bank size.

Analyzing the Effect of Market Risks on Financial Performance of Listed Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria

The study examines market risks as factors that could influence the financial performance of the DMBs in Nigeria. The study was based on the Value at Risks (VaR) theory and adopted the crosssectional and longitudinal research design. The population of the study consisted of all Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. Data were collected from financial statements of the sampled banks. Findings of the study revealed that exchange rate risk has a significant negative effect on Return on Assets while interest rate risk was found to be positive but not significant. The study concludes that market risks affect the financial performance of DMBs in Nigeria, and recommends that bank managers should follow monetary policies when creating risk management plans, and policymakers should take into account the banking sector's recent financial performance, including interest rates and exchange rates, since the banking sector's success is a good indicator of economic performance.

Risk Management Strategies as Determinants of Sustainability in Deposit Money Banks Within Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria

This study examined Risk Management Strategies as Determinants of Sustainability in Deposit Money Banks within Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. The main aim was to investigate how credit risk management and liquidity risk management influence the long-term sustainability of banks in the region. Specifically, the study sought to assess the effect of credit risk management on sustainability and examine the relationship between liquidity risk management and sustainability. The research adopted a descriptive survey design, targeting branch managers, risk officers, and accountants from ten selected deposit money banks. A total of 120 questionnaires were distributed, and 110 valid responses were analyzed using regression and correlation analyses with the aid of SPSS version 26. Findings revealed a significant positive effect of credit risk management on bank sustainability (β = 0.642, t = 6.215, p < 0.001), while liquidity risk management exhibited a moderate positive relationship with sustainability (r = 0.518, p < 0.01). The combined model showed that both variables jointly explained 54% (R² = 0.54) of the variance in sustainability, indicating that sound risk management frameworks enhance institutional resilience and operational efficiency. The study concluded that effective credit appraisal systems, prudent liquidity control, and strong governance structures are essential for the sustainability of deposit money banks. It recommended that banks strengthen their risk management systems, maintain adequate liquidity buffers, and comply with regulatory standards to ensure long-term stability and competitiveness.
