Characteristics of Nigerian Deposit Money Banks and Their Financial Outcome

The purpose of this research was to examine the connections between DMB profitability and various company characteristics in Nigeria. This study used panel data regression to evaluate five hypotheses on how market share, liquidity, credit risk, interest rate spread, and leverage affect bank profitability. Secondary data was gathered from the financial statements of the 19 deposit money banks listed on the international and local markets of the Nigerian Stock Exchange NSE between 2012 and 2021. The success of Nigerian banks is strongly influenced by their market share, liquidity, interest rate spread, and leverage. There was a connection between credit risk and ROA, however it was weak and not statistically significant. The report recommended that the Central Bank of Nigeria CBN create policies to enable banks increase their market share, rather than seeking to limit the number of firms in the banking sector.
