Abstract

Purpose: The study sought to investigate the effect of financial innovation on banks’ return on assets and return on equity in Commercial Banks in Kenya. The main problem was that banks have implemented financial innovations, but the influence it has on financial performance has not been exhaustively and extensively evaluated especially in the emerging LDC markets. The effect it has on Return on Assets and Return on Equity remains unclear. Methodology: This study adopted Pragmatic research philosophy. The choice of philosophy was determined by the research problem. The study was based on correlational research design. The study area was Kenya, focused on its Commercial banks. The target population comprised of all of the 42 commercial banks licensed by the Central Bank of Kenya. Purposive sampling technique was used to obtain a sample of 12 CMA / NSE listed banks. Secondary data from individual bank level, CMA and the CBK for the period 2007 to 2017 was used. The data analysis was based on fixed effect, random effect models or pooled regression of panel data analysis. Results: The findings of the study indicated that financial innovations had higher correlation with, and influence on ROA as indicated by overall R-squared of 0.5134. This means that the financial innovations under study had 51.34% influences on return on assets, holding all other factors constant. The overall R-squared for ROE was 0.2077. This means that on financial innovations studied had 20.77% influence on return on equity. Thus, there is positive and significant effect between financial innovations and Return on Assets and Return on Equity. Positive effect is an indication that if commercial banks in Kenya increased their asset and equity levels, their profitability as measured by ROA and ROE would improve. The study therefore finds the relevance of technology in improving performance of commercial banks in the country. Based on the findings, the study concluded that it is important for commercial banks in Kenya to continue investing in cost- effective technology to remain competitive in the industry. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommended that Commercial banks should implement effective financial innovations that would positively influence ROA and ROE. The findings of this study shall assist commercial banks and related financial institutions to monitor outcomes including effects of financial innovations with projections for profits as well as higher returns on ROA, ROE. It shall guide academic reference and policy making.
金融创新对银行资产收益率和权益收益率的影响——以肯尼亚商业银行为例
目的:本研究旨在探讨金融创新对肯尼亚商业银行资产收益率和股本收益率的影响。主要问题是,银行实施了金融创新,但其对财务业绩的影响没有得到详尽和广泛的评价,特别是在新兴的最不发达国家市场。它对资产回报率和股本回报率的影响尚不清楚。研究方法:本研究采用语用学研究理念。哲学的选择是由研究问题决定的。本研究采用相关研究设计。研究区域是肯尼亚,重点是肯尼亚的商业银行。目标人群包括肯尼亚中央银行许可的所有42家商业银行。采用目的抽样技术,对12家CMA / NSE上市银行进行抽样。本文使用了2007年至2017年期间来自单个银行层面、CMA和CBK的二手数据。数据分析采用固定效应、随机效应模型或面板数据分析的混合回归。结果:研究结果表明,金融创新与ROA具有较高的相关性和影响,总体r平方为0.5134。这意味着在其他因素不变的情况下,所研究的金融创新对资产收益率的影响为51.34%。ROE的总体r平方为0.2077。这意味着所研究的金融创新对净资产收益率的影响为20.77%。由此可见,金融创新与资产收益率和净资产收益率之间存在显著的正向影响。正效应是指肯尼亚商业银行如果提高其资产和股本水平,其以ROA和ROE衡量的盈利能力将得到改善。因此,该研究发现了技术在改善该国商业银行绩效方面的相关性。基于这些发现,该研究得出结论,肯尼亚的商业银行继续投资于具有成本效益的技术,以保持在该行业的竞争力是很重要的。在理论、实践和政策上的独特贡献:本研究建议商业银行实施有效的金融创新,对ROA和ROE产生积极的影响。本研究的结果将有助于商业银行及相关金融机构监测金融创新的结果,包括对利润的预测以及对ROA、ROE的更高回报。指导学术参考和政策制定。
