| BANKING REFORMS AND THE STABILITY OF THE NIGERIAN BANKING SYSTEM | Author : Inim, VictorE., Njogo, B. O., Oladele, Jaiyeoba. A. | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This research attempts to establish the impact the banking reforms in Nigeria on the stability of the banking sector. Secondary data from 2005 to 2017 were used for the study. Using Panel Data Regression technique, it was found that total assets, performing loans and operating expenses exerted significant influence on total deposit, which was used as a proxy for banking system stability. It was also observed that non-performing loans, though insignificant had negative influence on total deposits as expected. Based on these findings, it was recommended that the management of banks should not only adopt effective assets-liabilities management strategies to boost their deposit base and sustain it through various deposit stabilization strategies; but also effective cost reduction and control strategies with a view to drastically reducing their operating expenses. Also, the regulatory authorities should continue to ensure effective supervision and regulation, and embark on robust banking reforms occasionally. |
