A model that can predict the number of banks needed in the region was also presented. Spatial distribution of the banks was also analyzed. These analyses determined if the current number of banks in the region is sufficient to provide the financial services needed by the people. The ArcGIS Pro was used to perform Ordinary Least Square Regression, Global Moran’s I and Multivariate Clustering Analyses to the Regional Distribution of BSP Supervised banks in the Philippines and the categorized economic, demographic, labor market and potential market variables from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) in 2020. Results of this study show that the population density, economically active population, functional literacy rate, and families’ ownership of personal computer are the significant factors, which represent every category of the independent variable, that contributed to the number of banks in the region. Using the chosen passing model, the difference between the actual and estimated number of banks was used as the indicator by which regions need more physical banks to promote financial inclusion. Regions X, CAR, and BARMM are the best locations for the future physical bank to be established. Furthermore, the results from Global Moran’s I analysis showed that there is a clustering of high number of banks in the Philippines. There were 7 clusters formed for the number of banks based on population density, economically active population, functional literacy rate, and families’ ownership of personal computer. Among these explanatory variables, population density is the greatest contributor in forming the clusters.","PeriodicalId":484720,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Corporate Finance Management and Banking System","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140729851","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 relationship between competition and financial stability in banking system can be explain by two hypothesis: The \"competition-fragility\" theory holds that increased bank competition weakens profit margins, undermines market power, and lowers franchise value—the continuing concern or market worth of the banks above their book values and “competition-stability” view contends that financial institution stability may benefit from competition. The study used descriptive and causal research design. The random effect panel data of 6 commercial banks of Nepal over the period of 2014-2019. All the data are obtained from NRB monthly statistic and bank annual report. The HHI and n-bank concertration ratio are used as a measure of bank competition while Z-Index and non-performing loan ratio are the proxies of financial stability. The findings confirm the\"Competition-frangility\" theory by showing a negative association between bank competition and financial stability in Nepal. It states that bank tends to take excessive risks when the competition level increases. It is discovered that competition in the banking industry raises credit risk and reduces capital levels. Riskier policies enhance the likelihood of increased bank bankruptcies and non-performing loan ratios, which adds to fragility and financial instability. Thus, less concentrated banking systems are prone to experiences crisis.","PeriodicalId":484720,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Corporate Finance Management and Banking System","volume":"27 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140739751","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 introduction of the UPI digital payment system by the National Payments Corporation of India in 2016 marked a significant boon for customers and retailers of all types. Despite its benefits, some retailers hesitated due to perceived authenticity issues in receiving payments. However, since 2019, the third-party application provider Paytm revolutionized UPI adoption by proposing the installation of a soundbox. This innovative addition led to increased UPI utilization by retailers, driven by enhanced security, user-friendliness, simplified transactions, and lower monthly rental costs. This paper explores the impact and role of the soundbox post-installation by third-party application providers, examining its merits, demerits, and gauging retailers' perspectives on this transformative technology.","PeriodicalId":484720,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Corporate Finance Management and Banking System","volume":"171 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140763728","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}

Profits generated by a company can be a benchmark for a company's success. To gain large profits, a company must be able to manage assets effectively and efficiently, because this can show that the company has good financial performance. One of the ratios that investors most often consider is the total assets turnover ratio. However, often a high asset management ratio does not indicate the company's effectiveness in managing high assets, but because inventory levels are low. A company is said to be insolvent when its debt position is greater than the total assets owned by the company. To find out whether it is solvable or not, it can be calculated using the debt to equity ratio. PT FKS Food Sejahtera Tbk (IDX: AISA) is a food producing company headquartered in Jakarta, Indonesia. This company was founded in 1990, with the main products being various types of ready-made food. The purpose of this research is to analyze asset management ratio and solvency management ratio PT FKS Food Sejahtera Tbk. The type of research in this research uses qualitative descriptive research. The subject of this research is PT FKS Food Sejahtera Tbk whose financial report data is from 2015 to 2021.

Due to a multitude of behavioral biases and emotional attachments, professional investors make bad financial decisions that hinder their investing performance. Due to the increase in individual investors over the past several years, which is predicted to continue in the years to come, the problem of behavioral biases may become more and more important. Overconfidence bias, representativeness bias, disposition bias, loss aversion bias, herding bias and market factors are the independent variables, whereas investment decision making is the dependent variable. Questionnaires were used to collect primary data. 200investors were sampled using the convenience sampling technique, and data obtained was subjected to regression analysis. The SPSS was used to analyze data collected in order to generate descriptive statistics for the study. The extent to which the dependent variables could be explained by the independent variable was described using regression analysis. The study thus suggests that individual investors be educated how to avoid poor investment outcomes caused on by behavioral biases. Furthermore, individual investors should seek the advice of stock brokers/fund managers to guide them accordingly in terms of performance of a specific security in which an investor would wish to invest in.","PeriodicalId":484720,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Corporate Finance Management and Banking System","volume":"263 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139828831","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}
