dc.description.abstract | This study set out to achieve the following objective:
Assess the financial performance of Kenyan Banks restructured using the merger
approach. Profitability and earnings, capital adequacy and solvency indicators were
used to determine implications of merger restructuring 'on performance of commercial
banks.
Secondary data obtained from Financial statements and various publications was used
in the study. The data was then analysed with the aid of Microsoft (MS) Excel
statistical package.
On financial performance evaluation of the merged institutions, it was observed that
though there is improved performance in some cases, the extent of the contribution
cannot be said to be significant.
The general observation is that other than for indicators with legal requirements by
the Central Bank of Kenya (Capital adequacy and Solvency ratios), merger
restructuring has not improved the financial performance of the majority of merged
institutions as indicated by the profitability and earnings ratios. It is however
important to note that the ratios that gave a higher indication on financial performance
of the merged banks are those that have legal implications: Capital adequacy and
Solvency. Profitability ratios however indicate that the majority of the merged banks
reported a decline in financial performance. | en |
