CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
This is the introductory chapter of the chapters. is briefly explains the background of the study, statement of the problem, objectives of the study, research questions, statement of hypothesis, significance of the study, scope of the study, limitations of the study and definition of terms.
1.1 Background of the Study
The stability of commercial banks as whole in the economy depend on proper asset liability management structures. Better asset liability management have the tendency to absorb risks and shocks that commercial banks can face. Moreover, asset liability management is the perquisite condition for the efficiency and growth of commercial banks. Asset liability management in commercial banks is determined by the ability of the banks to retain capital, absorb loan losses, support future growth of assets and provide return to investors.
The largest source of income to the bank is interest income from lending activity less interest paid on deposits and debt. For a bank to attain the same objectives then it has to ensure proper asset liability management, including liquidity risk management, interest rate risk management and credit risk management (Francis, 2007). The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) prudential guidelines on asset liability management stipulates that, in order to effectively monitor its liquidity risk, credit risk and interest rate risk an institution is supposed to establish an Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) with the following four key roles:First, management of the overall assets and liabilities of the commercial bank ; Second, ALCO must report directly to the Board and in the case of a foreign incorporated bank, report to the senior management of the institution in the country; Third, ALCO must facilitate, coordinate, communicate and control balance sheet planning with regards to risks inherent in managing liquidity, credit and convergences in interest rates; and; Fourth, ALCO is responsible for ensuring that a bank's operations lies within the parameters set by its Board of Directors (Central Bank of Nigeria Report, 2010).
Financial distress has afflicted numerous commercial banks, many of which have been closed down by the regulatory authorities or have been restructured under their supervision. Some commercial banks were closed between 2003 and 2004 Further some commercial banks were taken over in that same period. The recent rise in non-performing loans is widely spread across commercial banks in Nigeria and is evident in both public and private owned banks. The upward trend of non-performing loans started immediately with the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008, but the sharp increase occurred two years later. In 2010 The non performing loan rate increased from 18.5% to 20.5%. The rate also increased to 22.5% in 2012 and 25.7% in 2013. The upward trend reflects in part the consequences of heightened unemployment in Nigeria which, together with depreciated currency and tight financial conditions, weakened the borrowers' repayment capacity.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Weakness in Nigeria Banking system is becoming apparent and is manifesting in the relative controlled and fragmented financial system in Nigeria . This can be attributed to differences in regulations governing banking and non-banking financial intermediaries, lack of autonomy and weak supervisory capacities carried out by the central banks surveillance in enforcing banking regulations.
The number of Non -Performing Loans is increasing overtime from 22% to 27.3% of the Total Loans. This can be attributed to non-compliance by the banks as per the Central Bank of Nigeria regulations. Further, the level of credit risk is increasing overtime.. It is not clear the extent to which asset liability management relates to financial performance. This study seeks to assess influences of financial performance of commercial banks in Nigeria with specific interest of Diamond Bank and First Bank of Nigeria.
