Abstract
The article analyses the interrelation between the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and the profitability of Indian public sector banks from March 2015 to March 2022. It uses the panel data technique to explain these relations. Further, this article also looked at the interactive effect of LCR through advances and the interest rate. It has gone through pre- and post-diagnostic checks finalizing the model and variables. The findings of the result surprisingly imply that Basel III regulatory directives like LCR positively impact the bank profitability in India rather than general apprehension about the negative impact. However, the interactive effects of LCR through advances negatively influence the banks’ profitability. Variables such as deposits, Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) have no statistically significant relation with banks’ profitability. This article recommends that Basel III guidelines should not be looked at negatively for the performance of banks.
期刊介绍:
Millennial Asia: An International Journal of Asian Studies is a multidisciplinary, refereed biannual journal of the Association of Asia Scholars (AAS)–an association of the alumni of the Asian Scholarship Foundation (ASF). It aims to encourage multifaceted, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research on Asia, in order to understand its fast changing context as a growth pole of global economy. By providing a forum for Asian scholars situated globally, it promotes dialogue between the global academic community, civil society and policy makers on Asian issues. The journal examines Asia on a regional and comparative basis, emphasizing patterns and tendencies that go beyond national borders and are globally relevant. Modern and contemporary Asia has witnessed dynamic transformations in cultures, societies, economies and political institutions, among others. It confronts issues of collective identity formation, ecological crisis, rapid economic change and resurgence of religion and communal identifies while embracing globalization. An analysis of past experiences can help produce a deeper understanding of contemporary change. In particular, the journal is interested in locating contemporary changes within a historical perspective, through the use of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches. This way, it hopes to promote comparative studies involving Asia’s various regions. The journal brings out both thematic and general issues and the thrust areas are: Asian integration, Asian economies, sociology, culture, politics, governance, security, development issues, arts and literature and any other such issue as the editorial board may deem fit. The core fields include development encompassing agriculture, industry, regional trade, social sectors like health and education and development policy across the region and in specific countries in a comparative perspective.
