Financial Dynamics of Listed Banks in Pakistan: Exploring the Interplay between Cost-Income Ratio, Capital Adequacy, and Performance Metrics

/in /by

This study delves into the relationship between the Cost-Income Ratio, Capital Adequacy, and the performance of listed banks in Pakistan. Drawing data from 2014 to 2022 annual reports, the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) in STATA version 18 is employed for analysis. The findings disclose a negative connection between capital adequacy and performance, particularly return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). While the correlation lacks statistical significance for ROA, it becomes significant in the context of ROE. Additionally, a statistically significant negative correlation is identified between the cost-income ratio and both ROA and ROE. Total equity debt displays a negative relationship, achieving significance concerning ROA. Bank size demonstrates a significant negative correlation with both ROA and ROE. GDP exhibits a positive link, significant only with ROE. These findings contribute valuable insights into the dynamics of financial indicators influencing bank performance in the Pakistani context.

/in /by

This study explores the crucial role of working capital management in balancing profitability and risk for companies. Economic conditions and sector-specific fluctuations in GDP influence working capital decisions. The transportation and logistics industry faced challenges with reduced demand, while the healthcare industry dealt with increased demand and longer payment collection periods during the pandemic. Using panel data regression on healthcare and transportation companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2017 to 2021, the study examines the impact of working capital management on profitability. Findings show significant correlations between working capital components and company profitability in both sectors. Specifically, before the pandemic, Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) positively affected Return on Assets (ROA), while Working Capital Financing Policy (WCFP) had a negative impact. During the pandemic, DSO and Working Capital Investment Policy (WCIP) positively influenced ROA in the transportation sector, while WCFP negatively affected it. In the healthcare sector during the pandemic, both DSO and Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO) positively affected ROA. For Net Profit Margin (NPM), the significance of working capital variables changed during the pandemic in the transportation sector, with DSO negatively impacting NPM, while WCIP and WCFP had a positive effect. In the healthcare sector during the pandemic, WCIP positively correlated with NPM, while WCFP had a negative correlation. Effective working capital management is essential for companies to navigate economic fluctuations and ensure uninterrupted operations.
