dc.description.abstractThe study examines the effect of specific determinants of capital adequacy ratio of quoted deposit money banks in Nigeria. Ex-post facto research design was adopted using panel data of ten years (2010-2019) to explore the effect of independent variables (credit risk, liquidity, leverage, profitability, bank size, and loan growth) on the dependent variable (capital adequacy ratio). The population of the study is the 14 banks quoted as at 2019. Purposive sampling method was used to select all banks provided they have consistent data set. Thus 13 quoted banks were used. The study made use of secondary data from banks’ annual reports and accounts of the listed deposit money banks in Nigeria, and the CBN Bulletin. Panel regression was used and found out that, credit risk is significant positively related to Capital Adequacy Ratio of quoted DMBs in Nigeria. Liquidity is insignificant and positively related to Capital Adequacy Ratio of quoted DMBs in Nigeria. Financial leverage is insignificant and negatively related to Capital Adequacy Ratio of quoted DMBs in Nigeria. Profitability is significant and positively related to Capital Adequacy Ratio of quoted DMBs in Nigeria. Bank size is insignificant and positively related to Capital Adequacy Ratio of quoted DMBs in Nigeria. Loan growth is significant and positively related to Capital Adequacy Ratio of quoted DMBs in Nigeria. This implies that, CAR of quoted DMBs in Nigeria increases significantly as loan growth increases. Based on the findings of the study, it is concluded that, increase in default or nonperforming loans increases the degree and extent of capital adequacy ratio of quoted deposit money banks in Nigeria to serve as a buffer to any negative shock resulting from nonperforming loans and advances. The study recommends among others that, Quoted DMBs in Nigeria should try to put in place more stringent rules that will ensure all loans and advances to be given out to customers are adequately perused and assessed to avoid and reduce issue of nonperforming loans resulting from default. This will go a long way in reducing default risk such that money kept as CAR will be reduced in order to increase the liquidity of the banks for better profitsen_US
