INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Nepal is a small country with unique physical setting surrounded by India in South, East and
West and by China in the North. It is a landlocked country. Nepal is one of the least developed
and poorest countries in the world. It has been laying emphasis on the upliftment of its economy.
The process of economic development depends upon various factors. Financial institutions
among others are viewed as catalyst in the process of economic development and growth.
They play an important role in mobilizing saving, and put them into productive use.
Commercial banks are major financial institution, occupying an important place in the
economy of a country because the deposits collected by them provide much needed
capital for the development of industry, trade and commerce and other sectors, thereby
contributing to the economic growth of the nation. However, investment activities are not
without risks. They have to follow sound Principles of investment policy, the rules and
regulations, directives issued by the Central Bank. Investment policy should incorporate
several elements such as regulatory environment, the availability of funds, the selection of risk,
and loan portfolio balance and term structure of the liabilities. The loan provided by
commercial bank is guided by several principles such as length of time, their purpose,
profitability, safety etc. These fundamental principles of commercial bank's investment
policy are needed to be considered while making investment decisions.

1.1.1 Overview of Nepalese Commercial Banks

In Nepal, the modern banking system started after the establishment of Nepal Bank
Limited on 30th Kartik 1994 B.S. Then on 14th Baishakh 2013 B.S. Nepal Rastra Bank was
established as the central bank of Nepal under the central Bank Act 2012 B.S. In the year 2022
B.S. Rastriya Banijya Bank was established under Banijya Bank Act 2020 B.S. This was the first
commercial bank of Nepal.

Commercial banks can play a vital role directing the economy's development over
time by financing the requirements of trade and industry in the country. They draw the
community's scattered savings into organized sector and allocate among the different
economic activities according to the priorities laid by planning authorities of the country.
The number of commercial banks has been increasing. Since then, various financial
institutions like JVBs, Domestic Commercial Banks, Development Banks, Finance
Companies, Co-operative Banks, Credit Guarantee Corporation, Employee Provident
Funds, National Insurance Corporation, and Nepal stock Exchange have come into
existence to cater the financial needs of the country thereby assisting financial development of
the country.
1.1.2 Introduction of Global IME Bank Ltd

1.2 Statement of Problem
As it has been said that there is stiff competition among the banks in the banking sector, so every
bank is trying to perform at its best in order to sustain in the market. Besides achieving a sound
financial position they are also aiming to meet their social obligation by developing trade,
industries, agriculture etc. Nepal is a poor country. Many of its places are still backward and
remote. Banks have an important role to play in the development of these places. Banks by
financing the artisans, craftsmen, self-employed person, entrepreneurs, businessmen, innovators,
skilled persons, farmers etc can help to mobilize the unused resources of these places for the
development of the economy. A well-developed banking system provides a firm and durable
foundation for the economic development of the country. Banks have the obligation of
fulfillment of socio-economic objectives. They are called upon to develop special innovative
schemes of credit to help small agriculturists, village and cottage industries, retailers, artisans
through loans and advances at concessional rates and interests.
Banks can only develop the society if they are in good financial position. It means only
those banks can serve the public whose overall financial structure is good. A well overall
performance of the banks will show effective policy, sound managerial ability, mobilization of
funds, development of trade and industry, upliftmant of the people, employee satisfaction,
consumers satisfaction shareholder's satisfaction etc.
1.3 Research Questions
 What are the assets Management efficiency, Profitability and risk position of GLOBAL
IME BANK?
 Is the trends of deposits utilization towards total investment, loans and advances are
satisfactory?
What are effects of the investment decision to the total earning of GLOBAL IME BANK?
1. 4 Objectives of the Study
Commercial Banks are established with the intention of earning profit and economic development
of the country through providing investment facilities. Financial Analysis is tools for
measuring the success of any business performance. All the detail financial information of bank is
shown by the financial analysis. The basic objectives of the study are to examine and evaluate
the investment policy of GLOBAL IME Bank Limited.
 To analyze assets management efficiency, Profitability and risk ratio of the bank.
 To analyze the deposit utilization and its relationship with total investment of the
bank.
 To explore the investment policy of GLOBAL IME BANK.
1.5 Significance of the Study
This study mainly fills a research gap on the study of investment policy of GLOBAL IME
BANK. Definitely, the study will provide a useful feedback to the policy makers of the bank
and also becomes a useful reference for other commercial banks of Nepal and central bank
(NRB) for the formulation of appropriate strategies. This study evaluates the investment
policy of GLOBAL IME BANK and finds its loopholes and significantly contributes to
make the policy sound. A sound investment policy of a bank is such that funds are
distributed on different types of assets with good profitability on the one hand and
provide maximum safety and security to the depositors and banks on the other hand. Moreover,
risk in banking sectors tends to be concentrated in the loan portfolio. When a bank get into serious
financial trouble, its problem usually spring from significant amount of loans that have
become uncollectible due to mismanagement, illegal manipulation of loan, misguided lending policy
or unexpected economic downturn. Therefore, the bank investment policy must be such that it
ensures that it is sound.
. Investment activity is the one of the major activity of any financial institution because only
deposit collection carries no meaning. So, the investment policy of commercial banks should be
in accordance with the spirit of the economic advancement of the people.

 CHAPTER- III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter refers to the overall research method followed by us in analyzing the objectives
outlined in 1.4. This study covers quantitative methodology in greater extent and also uses the
descriptive part based on both technical aspects and logical aspects. This research tries to
perform a well-designed quantitative and qualitative research in a very clear and direct way
using both financial and statistical tools.
3.1 Research Design
The study basically follows the descriptive as well as analytical research design. Financial and
statistical tools have been applied to examine facts and descriptive techniques have been
adapted to evaluate investment performance of CBs. Besides these, some simple questions
have been asked to the concerned personnel in the course of visiting the bank. This report also
contains other primary data. This report is mainly based on secondary data, which include
annual reports published by the concerned banks and other publications related to the concerned
topic.
3.2 Population and Sample
Total population of the study includes all 28 banks under operation and registered within the
guidelines of Nepal Rastra Bank. Due to the time constraint, Global IME Bank Ltd. has been
taken as sample for the study. The bank under study is selected under convenient sampling.
3.3 Type of Data
The data used in the study is mainly secondary data. Various data and information are collected
from the economic journals, periodicals, bulletins, magazines and other published &
unpublished reports and documents from various sources.
3.4 Data Collection Procedure
To prepare this field work data collection method is a basic work. Such data are taken from two
ways while preparing this field work report.
They are :
a. Primary Data :
The data which is first time collected for an investigation by an investigation or his/her
agent or research organization is known as primary data. It is original in character and just like
raw material.
Method of collection Primary Data are:
 Direct personal interview.
 Indirect oral interview
 Observation method
 Mailed questionnaire method
 Information from local correspondents
b. Secondary Data
The data which is not originally collected but obtained form published and unpublished
sources are called secondary data. These data are not original in character. The sources helping
as secondary data for this field work reports are the annual book published by Nepal SBI Bank
office record, Journals, bulletins and magazines etc.
3.5 Method of Analysis
Various financial, accounting and statistical tools are used to make the analysis more effective,
convenience, reliable and authentic. The analysis of data is done according to the pattern of
data available because of limited time and resources. Some accounting tools such as
ratio analysis and trend analysis have also been used for financial analysis. The various tools
applied in this study have been briefly presented as under:
3.5.1 Financial Tools
Financial tools are used to examine the financial strength and weaknesses of bank in this
study.
Ratio Analysis
Ratio analysis is the relationship between two accounting figures expressed
mathematically. It is computed by dividing one item of relationship with the other. Management
itself can use these parameters to improve the organization's performance. The
knowledge regarding strengths and weakness is necessary for exploiting maximum
benefits and to repair the weaknesses to meet the challenges. The financial ratios, which are
calculated and analyzed in this study, are as follows:
A) Liquidity Ratios
Liquidity ratios measure the firm's ability to meet current obligations. It reflects the short-
term financial strength of the business. It is the measurement of speed with which a bank's
assets can be converted into cash to meet deposit withdrawal and other current obligations. A
bank should ensure that it does not suffer from lack of liquidity and also it does not have
excess liquidity. Both condition of liquidity are not in favor of the banks. The following ratios
are evaluated under liquidity ratios.
Cash and Bank Balance to Total Deposit Ratio (Cash Reserve Ratio)
Cash and Bank Balances are the most liquid current assets. This ratio measures the percentage
of most liquid fund with the bank to make immediate payment to depositors. This ratio
is calculated by dividing the cash and bank balance by the amount of total deposits.
Mathematically, it is expressed as,
Cash Reserve Ratio = Cash and Bank Balance /Total Deposit
Hence, cash and bank balance includes cash on hand, foreign cash, cheque and other cash
items, balance with domestic and abroad banks whereas the total deposits include current
deposits, saving deposits, fixed deposits, money at call and short-term notice and other
deposits.
B) Assets Management Ratio (Activity Ratios)
Activity ratios are employed to evaluate the efficiency with which the firm manages
and utilizes its assets. Assets management ratio measures how efficiently the bank manages its
resources. The following ratios are used under asset management ratio.
i) Loan and Advances to total Deposit Ratio
This ratio is calculated to find out that which banks are able to utilize their total deposits
on loans and advances for profit generating purpose. This ratio can be obtained by dividing
loan and advances by total deposits, which can be stated as,
Loan and Advances to Total Deposit Ratios = Loan and Advances /Total Deposit
ii) Total Investment to Total Deposit Ratio
 This ratio implies the utilization of firms deposit invested in government securities and share &
debentures of other companies and bank. This ratio can be calculated by dividing total investment
by total deposit. It can be stated as,
Total Investment to Total Deposit Ratio = Total Investment/ Total Deposit.
C) Profitability Ratios
Profit is the difference between revenues and expenses over a period of time. A company
should earn profit to survive and grow over a long period of time. Therefore, the financial
manager should continuously evaluate the efficiency of its company in terms of profits. The
profitability ratios are calculated to measure the operating efficiency of a company. It is the
indicator of the financial performance of any institution. This implies that higher the
profitability ratio, better the financial performance of the bank and vice versa. The following
ratio is taken into account under this heading.
Return on Loan & Advance Ratio
This ratio indicates how efficiently the bank has employed its resources in the form of loan and
advances. This ratio is computed by dividing net profit by loan and advances. This ratio can
be expressed as, Return on Loan & Advances Ratio = Net Profit/ Loan & Advances.

D) Risk Ratios
Risk taking is the prime business of banks' investment management. It increases effectiveness
and profitability of the bank. These ratios indicate the amount of risk associated with the various
banking operations, which ultimately influences the banks' investment policy. The
following ratio is taken into account under this heading.
Credit Risk Ratio
This ratio measures the possibility that loan will not be repaid or the investment will deteriorate in
quality or result in loss to the bank. By definition, it is expressed as the percentage of Total Loan &
Advances to Total Assets. Mathematically it is presented as,
Credit Risk Ratio = Total Loan & Advances/ Total Assets
3.5.2 Statistical Tools
a) Trend Analysis
This topic analyzes the trend of loan and advances to total deposit ratio and trend of total
investment to total deposit ratio of Global IME Bank from 2012\13 to 2016\2017 and. Under this
topic following sub- topic have been presented.
i) Trend analysis of loan and advances to total deposit ratio.
ii)Trend analysis of total investment to total deposit ratio.
3.6 Limitations of the Study
There are some limitations while undergoing this study. The main limitation of the study will
be:
 The study is mainly based on secondary data collected from the bank.
 Being a student time and resource of study are to some extent limited.
 The study covers only last five years data.
 Out of numerous factors, only those factors related to investment policy are considered.
 Study has been limited to the investment policy of GLOBAL IME BANK among all
the 28 Commercial Banks.

CHAPTER — IV
DATA PRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS
In this chapter an attempt has been made to analyze and evaluate major financial items, which have an
impact on investment, management and fund mobilization of Global IME Bank. A number of financial
ratios that are crucial in evaluating the fund mobilization system of commercial banks have been
calculated and analyzed in this chapter. After this, the investment policy of the banks has been explored.
4.1 Financial Analysis
We have tried to analyze and evaluate those major financial items, which are mainly related to the
investment, management and fund mobilization of Global IME Bank. The ratios are designed and
calculated to highlight the relationship between financial items and figures. It is a kind of mathematical
procedure to derive relationship between two or more variables. The important financial ratios, which
are to be calculated for this study, are as follows:
4.1.1 Liquidity Ratio
This ratio measures the ability of the firm to meet its current obligations. A commercial bank
must maintain its satisfactory liquidity position to meet the credit need of the community, to meet
demands for deposits, withdraws, pay maturity obligation in time and convert non-cash assets into
cash to satisfy immediate needs without loss to bank and consequent impact in long run profit. In fact,
it analyzes liquidity needs, which is helpful for the preparation of cash budget and fund flow statement.
The following ratios are evaluated and interpreted under liquidity ratio:
I) Cash and Bank Balance to Total Deposit Ratio (CRR Ratio)
Cash and bank balance are the most liquid assets. This ratio measures the ability of the bank to meet
the unanticipated cash and all types of deposits. We have, Cash and Bank Balance to Total Deposit Ratio
= Cash and Bank Balance /Total Deposit. Where,
Cash and bank balance includes cash on hand, foreign cash, cheque and other cash
items, balance with domestic and abroad banks whereas the total deposits include
current deposits, saving deposits, fixed deposits, money at call and short-term notice
and other deposits.

 4.1.2 Asset Management Ratios (Activity Ratio)
Asset management ratio measures the efficiency of the bank to manage its asset in profitable and
satisfactory sector. This indicates the ability of the bank to utilize their available resources. Following ratios
are discussed under this topic.
I) Loan and advances to Total Deposit Ratio
It shows the relationship between loans and advances to total deposit. This ratio measures the extent
to which the banks are successful to mobilize their total deposit on loan and advances. We have, Loan
and Advances to Total Deposit Ratio = Loan and Advances/ Total Deposit. Where, loan and advances
include loans, advances, cash credit, local and foreign bill purchased and discount. Total deposit
include saving, fixed current call at short deposit and others.

means Global IME Bank is able to utilize its total deposit in investing in loan & advance in FY 2016/17.
ii) Total Investment to Total Deposit Ratio
A commercial bank mobilizes its deposit by investing its fund in different securities issued by
government and other financial or non-financial companies. This ratio measures the extent to which
the banks are able to mobilize their deposit on investment in various securities. We have, Total
Investment to Total Deposit Ratio = Total Investment/ Total Deposit. Where, total investment
includes investment on government securities, investment on debenture and bonds, shares in
subsidiary companies, shares in other companies and other investments.

5.1 Summary
The objective of the commercial banks is always to earn more profit by investing or granting loan
& advances to the profitable, secured and marketable sectors. But they should be careful while
performing the credit creation function; the banks should never invest its funds in those
securities, which are of fluctuating nature. And, commercial banks must follow the rules and
regulations as well as different directions issued by central bank and ministry of finance while
mobilizing the funds. For the purpose of the present study one commercial bank namely Global
IME was taken. Nepal encourages foreign investment as joint venture operations with Nepalese
investor's or in certain circumstances as fully owned subsidiary just because of government's
encouragement for joint venture operations. GLOBAL IME was established in the year 1984
A.D. GLOBAL IME has access to the worldwide through correspondent network for letter of
credit and any other banking services anywhere in the world. Within a short span of time
GLOBAL IME has expanded its activities. In these few years of successful operation it has
always aimed to adopt the policy of healthy competition and proactive management
through which it believe to provide best service and get positive result and succeed to do so.
5.2 Conclusion

The present study has been undertaken to examine and evaluate the financial performance
of GLOBAL IME as well as investment policy of Global IME Bank. The financial statements of
five years i.e. from fiscal year 2012/13 to fiscal year 2016/17 have been examined for the purpose
of the study. The study has resorted mainly to secondary data that has been first processed
and analyzed comparatively. This study is exploratory as well as analytical sometimes.
In comparison with fiscal year 2015/16 the total deposit ratio of Global IME Bank in fiscal year
2016/17 is increased. This might be due to the reason of good safe and security of the country.
We can still hope that in near future stabilization may be quite good for the bank.
Securities issued by government are considered to be free of risk of default that's why they yield
the lowest interest rates of any securities of a particular maturity. But NABILbank has prove
that it is the safe area of investment regarding safely risk and interest and is trying to make
people short their priority from government securities.
Branches existing in some limited areas will not enable a bank to boost up its campaign of
deposit mobilization and credit disbursement as desired. Therefore Global IME Bank is
recommended to open further new branches at certain different places in future.
5.3 Recommendation
After completing the research entitled "Investment policy of commercial bank of Nepal" and
presenting, analyzing, concluding the data and information, some recommendation are
presented below:
 The investment position of Global IME Bank out of its total deposit is not
satisfactory. The study shows minimum of total deposit is used for investment. So, it is
recommended that the bank should give priority to invest in profitable investment
opportunity.
 NAB IL Bank has provided more loan and advance from its fixed and total deposit. So, bank
should review its loan policy.
 Global IME Bank should improve overall efficiency by investing in more returnable
sectors i.e. risky area through proper risk analysis.
 It will be better for Global IME Bank to open branches in other cities and rural areas in order to
find profitable opportunities.
