Background of the Study
Commercial banks are key players in any economy, providing essential financial services such as loans, deposits, and investment opportunities. Their financial performance, measured through indicators like profitability, liquidity, and solvency, plays a crucial role in the stability and growth of the broader economy. In Nigeria, commercial banks are regulated by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and face a variety of challenges, including economic fluctuations, regulatory changes, and competition from other financial institutions. Kaduna State, a prominent commercial center in northern Nigeria, is home to several listed commercial banks that serve both individual and corporate clients.
The financial performance of listed commercial banks in Kaduna State is of particular interest, as it reflects not only the health of individual institutions but also the economic dynamics of the region. Understanding the factors that influence the financial performance of these banks, such as interest rates, regulatory frameworks, and market competition, is essential for stakeholders, including investors, regulators, and policymakers. This study aims to appraise the financial performance of listed commercial banks in Kaduna State, examining both the internal and external factors that affect their profitability and sustainability.
