Central Bank Of Nigeria Liquidity Management And Commercial Banks' Performance In Nigeria


Reference code: c045

ABSTRACT
The study examined the extent to which Central Bank of Nigeria’s Liquidity Management efforts impacts on Deposit Money Banks’ Performance in Nigeria. The study covered the period 2005-2013 and contained a sample of 10 DMBs currently operating in Nigeria. While DMBs cash balances held with the CBN was specified dependent variable measuring CBN liquidity management efforts, Return on Assets, Assets quality and current ratio were specified as proxies for bank performance. The researcher estimated the specified model using the ordinary least squares method applied on the panel data collected from the various issues of annual report of the ten deposit money banks used in the study. The results garnered from the data analyses indicated among other things that: A positive relationship existed between cash balances with the Central Bank of Nigeria return on asset of the banks. The implies that as bank return on asset increases, this invariably leads to increase in the bank’s cash balances with the central bank of Nigeria. Our findings also showed that a negative relationship between cash balances with central bank and current ratio (liquidity ratio) of banks. This finding does seem to support the scenario of balances with the central bank improving the liquidity position of the individual banks concerned. Finally, a negative relationship was recorded between cash and balances with the central bank of Nigeria and the asset quality (risk assets) of the banks. The implication of this finding is that as cash balances held with the central bank increases, DMBs risk assets is expected to decrease and vice versa. This seems to be quite logical since an increase in balances with the central bank is expected to help reduce the toxicity in the banks, loan and advances portfolio. On the basis of the findings, the following recommendations were made: The use of balances with the CBN as a liquidity management tool be supported with more responsive or stringent measures. Since cash balances yield very little income for the banks, some of the cash balances be substituted into very short term securities still held with the CBN in place of cash. Secondly, there is need for the Central Bank to intensively fund research into the common phenomenon of key policy/regulatory measures not having the desired effect. Finally, competence should be given credence in considering people for management jobs. This is because management quality is the driving force of DMBs performance.

INTRODUCTION
............... Bank Liquidity Simply means the ability of the bank to maintain sufficient funds to pay for its maturing obligations.  it is the  bank’s  ability to immediately  meet  cash, cheques, other  withdrawals  obligations  and  legitimate new  loan  demand while abiding  by existing reserve requirements.
  Liquidity  management therefore involves the  strategic supply  or withdrawal  from  the  market or  circulation the amount of liquidity  consistent with a desired  level  of short- term reserve money  without  distorting  the  profit  making  ability and operations of the bank. it relies on the daily,  assessment  of the liquidity  conditions  in  the banking system, so as to determine its liquidity  needs  and  thus the  volume  of  liquidity to allot or  withdraw from  the  market.
The  liquidity  needs  of  the  banking   system  are usually defined by  the  sum  of reserve   requirements  imposed  on  banks  by  a monetary authority (CBN 2012). To guide Bank’s management on the expected level of liquidity in the system over a period of time, liquidity management which involves the planning and control  of cash and  other  liquid  assets, may  be  supported   by daily liquidity  forecasting   by  the   central  bank   so that appropriate  measures  are  taken  to  prevent  undesirable  market   developments   that  that  may  negatively  impact  on  the  objective  of price stability.
Bhattacharyya  and  Sahoo (2011),  argued  that  liquidity management   by central  banks  typically  refers  to   the  framework,   set  of  instruments, and the    rules  that  the monetary authority follows in managing systemic liquidity, consistent with the ultimate goals of monetary policy. In this regard, central banks modulate liquidity conditions by varying both the level of short – term interest rates and influencing the supply of bank reserves in the interbank market. While central bank liquidity management has short term effects in financial markets, its long – term implications for the real sector and on price level are more profound.
Effective liquidity management is a key factor that helps sustain bank profits and concurrently keeps the banking institution and the financial system generally from illiquidity and perhaps, insolvency. Strategic bank management aims prominently at keeping the bank solvent and liquid in order to earn good profits and remain sound. In order to maintain public confidence in the financial system of the country, banks are required to maintain adequate amount of cash and near cash assets such as securities to meet withdrawal obligations. ...............
