In contrast, small banks maintain their aggregate share in this market despite rapid nonbank growth throughout the country. A strong, county-level substitution for the retreating Big4 explains small banks' enduring importance: they were four (seven) times more responsive than shadow banks (fintech lenders) in local markets. We show that small banks' relative advantage in balance-sheet financing of loans below the jumbo size limit plays a prominent role in our results.","PeriodicalId":405783,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Financial Institutions (Topic)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127931463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Banks have a concentrated risk exposure in domestic government bonds. In the European banking union, this has led to a proposal to create European safe bonds (ESBies). Securitized sovereign bond-backed securities would facilitate geographical sovereign diversification, hence contributing to bank stability. But will banks in low-rated countries invest in safe bonds?<br><br>This paper offers two new explanations for the home bias in government bond holdings: a sovereign-based rating cap on corporates and the existence of a ‘bank tax’. These are complementary to the four explanations offered in the literature: risk shifting, gambling for resurrection, moral suasion, and a way to store liquidity for financing future investment. Collectively they cast doubt on a demand-led approach to investment in safe bonds by banks in low-rated countries. Bank regulations such as constraints on large exposure or risk-based capital on credit risk concentration will be needed if the objective is to break the so-called “deadly embrace”.","PeriodicalId":405783,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Financial Institutions (Topic)","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115479044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary objective of this research was to assess the Shariah audit in-regularities of Islamic banks in Pakistan. This was achieved using an exploratory study design. Qualitative interviews using a semi-structured approach were held with the 15 interviewees, who highlighted the different ways performance can be enhanced, and Shariah audit in-regularities can be adopted. The content analysis approach is used, which helps highlight that Islamic banks in Pakistan further require improvement as well as enhancement in their skill set. The absence of regulations and standards impacts the financial performance of Islamic banks in Pakistan, given their indulgence in the first-time established practices. Different procedures concerning the operations of the Islamic banks aimed at improving its style should be promoted. It suggests the integration of transparent practices, improved training, and the adoption of standardized policies for better financial performance in the Islamic banks in Pakistan.

Co-lending is often rationalized as a mean to impose market discipline on government-owned lenders. We investigate whether that is really the case, or whether political distortions affect “mixed” syndicates including both private and government-owned lenders. We find that mixed syndicates allocate more loans to government-connected firms than private syndicates do. Further, loans from mixed syndicates have lower spreads, longer maturities, less collateral, and fewer covenants. Terms are most favorable when borrowers are “connected.” Firms borrowing from mixed syndicates show a decline in profitability and valuation in subsequent years, suggesting loans are inefficiently allocated. The evidence is consistent with political distortions in mixed lending. Results are driven by domestic government lenders: loan by syndicates including foreign government-owned lenders resemble more closely private-sector loans, both in allocation and loan terms.","PeriodicalId":405783,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Financial Institutions (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129634076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dogarawa","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3666896","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3666896","url":null,"abstract":"In Nigeria, following the classification of banks into systemically important banks (SIBs) and non-systemically important banks (non-SIBs) in 2013, there has been concern about whether or not the designated SIBs are playing their leading role in financial performance and soundness in the industry. One of the tools that has been used by academics and financial analysts to evaluate the overall financial performance and soundness of banks over the years is the acronym of CAMELS, which stands for capital adequacy, assets quality, management efficiency, earnings ability, liquidity and sensitivity to market risk. This paper assessed the effect of CAMELS financial indicators on profitability of SIBs in Nigeria using secondary data extracted from the financial statements and account of seven (7) SIBs over the period of nine years (2010 – 2018). The paper formulated six hypotheses and applied multiple regression to analyse the data. After subjecting the data to relevant tests of robustness, the result of the pooled OLS regression revealed that capital adequacy, asset quality, management efficiency, liquidity and sensitivity to market risk have significant effect on profitability of SIBs in Nigeria. Based on the findings, the paper recommended among other things that CBN should be carrying out its on-site examination function more regularly to increase its surveillance on the SIBs in order to ensure that imprudent and unethical behaviour that erodes liquidity, quality capital and shareholders’ funds are spotted early. In addition, management of SIBs should use strategies that would enable them reduce lending related expenses in order to enhance their earnings ability and consequently increase the profit volume of their banks.","PeriodicalId":405783,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Financial Institutions (Topic)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117154580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, Islamic Banks plays an important role in developing the Indonesian economy. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of internal and external factors that affect the profitability of Islamic Banks in Indonesia.\u0000Methodology/Technique – The methodology of this research is multiple regression. The object of this research is the Islamic banking industry in Indonesia. Internal factors include size, liquidity, asset quality, management, and efficiency ratio. External factors include interest rate and inflation. Return on Assets is used to measure profitability. The monthly data is collected from the financial reports of Islamic Banks between 2011 to 2016.\u0000Findings – The findings show that size, liquidity, assets quality, management ratio, interest rate and inflation lead to a greater Return on Assets (profitability) in Islamic Banks in Indonesia. Efficiency however does not have a significant effect on profitability of Islamic Banks in Indonesia.\u0000Novelty – Based on the results of this research, it can be concluded that the Islamic banking industry can use those variables to improve the profitability of Islamic banks in the future.
