    A Comparative Study of Liquidity Management of an

    Islamic Bank and a Conventional Bank:

    The Evidence from Bangladesh

    Abstract

    Liquidity management is undoubtedly one of the most crucial tasks of a bank. The analysis in

    this study focuses on the comparative liquidity situation of an Islamic bank (Islami Bank

    Bangladesh Limited) and a conventional bank (AB Bank Limited) for the period of 2003 -

    2006. Both short-term and long-term liquidity positions have been taken into consideration.

    However, maturity-wise liquidity situation has also been observed. To estimate the liquidity

    situation maturity-wise and total liquidity gap have been calculated. Furthermore, this study

    also tries to examine whether key performance indicators of these banks had any influence on

    liquidity position during the period under study.

    Key words: liquidity, net liquidity gap, volatility

    JEL Classification: C52, G21

    1. Introduction:

    Any commercial bank, conventional or Islamic, is required to monitor and manage its

    liquidity position effectively and cautiously. In this study, we will try to focus

    whether any significant differences exists in managing liquidity position of Islamic

    and conventional banks in Bangladesh. For our analysis, we have taken one bank

    from each category. That is, in this study, we have compared Islami Bank Bangladesh

    Limited (the IBBL) with AB Bank Limited (the ABBL) in respect of maintaining

    liquidity position.

    Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited was established in 1983 and started functioning with

    effect from March 30, 1983. It was the first of its kind in Southeast Asia. This bank is

    committed towards conducting all the banking activities free of interest and based on

    profit-loss sharing system.

    AB Bank Limited, on the other hand, was incorporated in Bangladesh on December

    31, 1981 as the first private sector Bank under Joint Venture with Dubai BankLimited, UAE, and started its operation from April 12, 1982. However, in the early

    part of 1987, Dubai Bank Limited (name subsequently changed to Union Bank of the

    Middleast Limited) sold their share. The shares were transferred to Bangladeshi

    Sponsor Shareholders (Group A shareholders).

    2. Objectives of the study:

    The main objective of this study is to analyze and compare the liquidity position of an

    Islamic bank with a conventional bank. In Bangladesh, as a matter of fact, whereas

    the conventional banks require maintaining 18% of their deposits as Statutory

    Liquidity Requirement (SLR), the Islamic banks require to maintain only 10% of

    their deposit as SLR. So, obviously there will be different perspective in managingliquidity of these two types of banks. However, our secondary objective is to analyze

    whether liquidity position of these two types of banks are influenced by the key

    performance indicators (KPIs).

    3. Methodology:

    In this study, at first we have calculated the net liquidity gaps for both thebanks for the period 2003-20063. To calculate net liquidity gap, we havecollected maturity-wise information of both assets and liabilities, which issegmented according to the following maturity buckets:

    i. Up to 1 month maturityii. 1-3 months maturityiii. 3-12 months maturityiv. 1-5 years maturityv. More than 5 years maturity

    With this information, we have calculated the net liquidity gap for each maturity

    bucket from 2003 to 2006 by adding all the assets falling under that bucket and then

    subtracting all the liabilities falling under that bucket from the assets of the same

    maturity bucket. That is

    NLG = A - L . (1)

    3We have collected the information used to calculate the net liquidity gap from the liquidity

    statement included in the annual reports of these two banks. As liquidity statements before

    2003 were not available, we have to start our analysis from 2003.

    A Comparative Study of Liquidity Management of an Islamic Bank and a Conv 91

    Where,

    NLG = Net liquidity gap during a particular maturity bucket

    A = Assets falling under a particular maturity bucket

    L = Liabilities falling under a particular maturity bucket

    Positive net liquidity gap implies that the bank has sufficient assets to satisfy the

    liabilities of the same maturity bucket and negative net liquidity gap implies that the

    liabilities exceed the assets for that particular maturity bucket. We found the

    percentage of assets and liabilities held for each maturity bucket in respect of total

    assets for the particular year. We have also calculated percentage of short-term and

    long-term assets and liabilities for each of the year under discussion. This provides a

    direction of liquidity situation of the concerned banks for the years under discussion.

    We also measured the extent of volatility in the liquidity position of these two banks.In case of calculating volatility, we used coefficient of variation (CV) analysis of both

    assets and liabilities. By measuring volatility we concluded the liquidity analysis part

    of our study.

    In the next part, we analyzed whether the liquidity position of these two different

    types of banks was influenced by their key performance indicators (KPIs). For this

    section, we used some statistical tools like, simple regression analysis, step-wise

    multiple regression analysis, t-test and f-test.

    4. A comparative analysis of the financial performance of the IBBL and the

    ABBL

    In this section, we analyzed the financial performance of two banks under study.

    We considered 3 years (2004-2006) for the purpose of analysis.

    In the above table, it can be observed that the IBBL has better performance in almost

    all the cases. The values of coefficient of variation show that the ABBL has much

    fluctuation in the ratios in comparison to those of the IBBL.

    5. Analysis of the liquidity position of the IBBL

    In this section, we analyzed the liquidity position of the IBBL from three angels. We

    calculated total as well as maturity bucketwise liquidity gap for a particular year,

    percentage of short-term and long-term assets and liabilities in total assets and

    liabilities for each of the year under consideration.

    In the following table, we furnish the net liquidity gap from 20032006 (both

    maturity-wise and total figure):

    4To calculate this ratio, we have divided the net interest income or net investment income by

    the interest/profit generating assets.

    Net liquidity gap for Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited (the IBBL) increased each year

    but rate of growth decreased gradually from the year 2004 to 2006. It indicates that

    during the period under study, Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited got sufficient assetsto satisfy the liabilities. The positive growth of net liquidity gap indicates that the

    IBBL maintains this favorable situation throughout the period under study.

    In order to understand the extent to which the IBBL maintains short-term and long-

    term liquidity gap, we have to focus on the following table:

    Table 3:Year-wise decomposition of net liquidity gap of the IBBL(Amounts are rounded and expressed in million TK.)

    Only in two years (2003 & 2006), the IBBL experienced positive short-term net

    liquidity gap and in the other two years (2004 & 2005) the short-term liquidity gap

    became negative. On the other hand, long-term liquidity gap for the IBBL was

    positive for all the years under consideration. It indicates that the IBBLs overall

    short-term liquidity management was not as good as its management of long-term

    liquidity. That is, in 2004, the IBBL was unable to satisfy the current liability

    requirement by using the available current assets. In 2005, the situation became worse

    5

    By adding the amount of net liquidity gap under up to 1 month, 1-3 months, and 3-12months maturity bucket, we can get the amount of short-term liquidity gap.

    6By adding the amount of net liquidity gap under 1-5 Years and More than 5 years

    maturity bucket, we can get the amount of long-term liquidity gap.

    than the previous year. However, in 2006 the IBBL was able to maintain current

    assets sufficient to meet the current liabilities. The IBBL also experienced highervolatility in managing short-term liquidity gap. In future, the IBBL should focus more

    on managing short-term liquidity gap.

    Again, if we analyze short-term assets and short-term liabilities of the IBBL, we can

    find that the amount of short-term assets and liabilities that the IBBL maintained was

    much higher than its long-term assets and liabilities as depicted in table 4 below.

    But, unfortunately, short-term assets of the IBBL during the period under study were

    not sufficient to meet the short-term obligations. Moreover, short-term assets had

    higher average rate of growth than that of the short-term liabilities, which could be

    considered as a good indicator of financial strength. From our previous analysis, we

    found that the IBBL experienced negative short-term liquidity gap in 2004, which

    was mostly contributed by higher growth rate of short-term liabilities (5.01%)

    comparing the growth rate of short-term assets (1.21%).In the following table, we provide long-term assets and liabilities of the IBBL.

    In case of growth rate of long-term assets and liabilities, the scenario was justopposite to that of short-term assets and liabilities. Long-term liabilities grew at a

    higher rate than long-term assets. In fact, long-term assets had a negative average

    growth during the period under study. It indicates that the IBBL experienced positive

    long-term liquidity gap during the period under study although its long-term assetshad a gradual decrease in value. Long-term liabilities, on the other hand, experienced

    a positive growth and were pacing with long-term assets almost to the same extent. If

    this trend continues, in future there may be a possibility of experiencing negative

    liquidity gap for the IBBL.

    6. Analysis of the liquidity position of the ABBL:

    AB Bank Limited (the ABBL) experienced positive liquidity gap for the period under

    study. That is in all the years under consideration, AB Bank Limited could

    satisfactorily maintain higher amount of assets than liabilities. It implies AB Banks

    ability to satisfy the liabilities as and when necessary.

    Moreover, net liquidity gap of the ABBL had an increasing growth rate. In each year

    from 2004 to 2006, net liquidity gap increased at a very high rate.

    In the above table, we can see that the ABBLs 4-year average short-term liquidity

    gap is negative. If we consider single years, we see that only in the year 2004 and2006, the ABBL experienced positive short-term liquidity gap and the highest gap

    could be found in 2006. On the other hand, average long-term liquidity gap of the

    ABBL had a positive figure. So, we can say that the ABBL should focus more on

    managing short-term assets to satisfy short-term liabilities so that in future average

    short-term net liquidity gap becomes positive. However, the ABBL could manage the

    long-term assets appropriately to satisfy the long-term debts.

    From the above table, we can see that both short-term assets and short-term liabilities

    of the ABBL experienced negative growth rate during the period under study. The

    ABBL had more short-term assets in its assets portfolio than long-term assets. In the

    same way it had more short-term liabilities than long-term liabilities. Above all, every

    pertaining analysis here indicates that the ABBL experienced some difficulties inmanaging short-term liquidity gap.

    If we consider the long-term situation for the ABBL, we can see that the ABBLs

    long-term liabilities grew very rapidly (as average growth rate became 42.90%) incomparison to long-term assets (where average growth rate was 27.01%). However,

    the ABBL had more long-term assets and it had long-term liabilities but as the growth

    rate of liabilities continues in a very high rate, in future if the ABBL does not focus

    on this issue, long-term liquidity gap may be negative and the ABBL may face long-

    term liquidity problem.

    7. Comparative analysis of the liquidity position: the IBBL Vs. the ABBL

    In this section, we will analyze the liquidity position of the IBBL and the ABBL from

    different perspectives. At first, we will compare the liquidity situation of these two

    different types of banks from the perspective of net liquidity gap.

    Source: Own calculation

    In the above table, we have calculated 4-year average net liquidity gap of the twobanks on basis of maturity bucket. From the analysis, we have the following findings:

    a. The IBBL lacked appropriate up to 1 month maturity assets to a greater extentto satisfy the liabilities of the same maturity but the ABBL was able to manage more

    assets of that maturity to cover the liabilities of the same maturity.

    b. In case of 1-3 month and 3-12 month maturity liquidity gap, the IBBLperformed better than the ABBL. That is, during the period under analysis, the IBBL

    managed liquidity situation of these two durations more efficiently than the ABBL.

    c. Again, in 1-5 year maturity case, the ABBL handled the liquidity situationmore effectively than the IBBL, whereas, in More than 5 year maturity situation,

    the IBBLs liquidity performance was better.

    Again, if we consider the growth rate of total liquidity gap, we find that although the

    IBBL experienced higher amount of net liquidity gap than the ABBL, net liquidity

    gap of the ABBL experienced more growth rate than the IBBL. It indicates that the

    ABBL is gradually improving its overall liquidity situation.

    Now, we will compare these two banks from the perspective of short-term and long-term liquidity situation.

    Table 12: Comparison of short-term liquidity gap (figures are in million TK.)

    From the above table it is evident that the IBBL managed its short-term liquidity

    situation more efficiently than that of the ABBL for the period under study. From the

    data of this table and the previous table, we can say that the ABBL should focus on

    managing 1-3 month maturity liquidity gap in proper manner.

    However, from long-term liquidity perspective, the IBBL again performed better than

    the ABBL as is evident from table no. 13 that follows.

    A Comparative Study of Liquidity Management of an Islamic Bank and a Conv 99

    Now, lets consider the following table:

    Table 14: Comparison of short-term assets & shot-term liabilities

    Percentage of Short Term

    Assets in Total Assets

    Percentage of Short Term

    Liabilities in Total Liabilities

    IBBL ABBL IBBL ABBL

    2003 71.40% 85.48% 73.64% 90.81%

    2004 72.27% 80.62% 77.34% 83.81%

    2005 71.68% 69.77% 77.25% 75.68%

    2006 72.61% 72.32% 72.85% 75.14%

    Average 71.99% 77.05% 75.27% 81.36%

    Source: Own calculation

    Table 14 above furnishes the comparison of the two banks under study from the

    perspective of having short-term assets and short term liabilities; where we see thatpercentage of short-term assets and liabilities that the ABBL maintained in its

    portfolio was higher than those of the IBBL. It implies that the ABBL was focusing

    more on short-term assets and liabilities to long-term. However, the ABBL inspite of

    its focus more on short-term assets and liabilities, showed poor performance in the

    management of short-term liquidity, which suggests that the ABBL should devise

    some new strategies to ensure efficient management of its short-term liquidity

    situation.

    However, from the following table, we can see that the IBBL was focusing on the

    management of long term assets and liabilities to a higher extent than the ABBL.

    Table 15: Comparison of long-term assets & long-term liabilities

    8. Volatility analysis of the liquidity position:

    In this section, we analyze the volatility in net liquidity gap of the IBBL and that of

    the ABBL to judge the fluctuation in the liquidity situation. We have used coefficient

    of variation (CV) in order to estimate volatility in net liquidity gap.

    Table 16: Comparison of maturity-wise CV of net liquidity gap of the IBBL and theABBL for the period 2003 - 2006

  • 8/12/2019 v5_n1_article4.pdf

    1-5 Years 52.85% 13.14%

    More than 5 years 35.89% 129.07%

    Source: Own calculation

    From the above table we see that other than 1-5 year maturity bucket the ABBL

    experienced higher volatility in liquidity gap. The level of fluctuation in Up to 1

    month, 3-12 months, and More than 5 years was very high. On the other hand,

    the IBBL maintained some degree of consistency in each of the maturity buckets in

    comparison to the ABBL. However, the IBBL experienced highest volatility in Up

    to 1 month maturity liquidity gap and it experienced lowest volatility in More than

    5 years maturity liquidity gap. This indicates that the IBBL is much more consistent

    in maintaining liquidity situation than the ABBL during our period under study.

    Now, we will decompose the total liquidity gap and analyze the volatility in short-

    term and long-term liquidity gap.

    Table 17: Comparison of CV of short-term, long-term and total liquidity gap of theIBBL and the ABBL for the period 2003 - 2006

    CV of the IBBL CV of the ABBL

    Short-term liquidity gap 140.19% 243.64%

    Long-term liquidity gap 44.07% 21.28%

    Total liquidity gap 23.84% 35.29%

    Source: Own calculation

    From the above table, we find that both the IBBL and the ABBL experienced higher

    volatility in managing short-term liquidity but the ABBL had higher fluctuation than

    the IBBL. In case of long-term liquidity management, the ABBL experienced less

    fluctuation than the IBBL. We also observe that the IBBL experienced lower

    fluctuation than the ABBL in case of managing overall liquidity situation, which is

    evident from the CV of the total liquidity gap.

    9. Is liquidity position influenced by Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)?

    In this section, we try to find out whether key performance indicators of these two

    different types of banks have any influence in determining their liquidity position. In

    this study, we have used the following ratios as key performance indicators of the twobanks:

    Table 18: List of KPIs

  • 8/12/2019 v5_n1_article4.pdf

    (Classing/TINV)

    Non-performing loans as percentage of

    total loans & advances (NPL/ADV)

    Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR)

    We take total figure of net liquidity gap for each year as the dependent variable and

    all the KPIs as the independent variable. At first, we do simple regression analysis

    with these variables then we go for multiple regression analysis.

    The data for regression analysis for each of the two banks are given below:

    By using the above data, we have conducted simple and multiple regression analysis

    for both the IBBL and the ABBL.

    a. Simple regression analysis for the IBBL:

    A Comparative Study of Liquidity Management of an Islamic Bank and a Conv 103

    Though Model B showed very high degree of relationship (r2= 98.4%), but P-value

    of F-test showed that we could depend on this model just only at only 87.4%confidence level. So, Model A provides better explanation than Model B.

    Model C and D are not much reliable as P-value of F-test for these two models was

    very high in respect of first two models.

    However, we did not include CAR in our multiple regression analysis, as it showed

    very low degree of relationship with liquidity gap in the simple regression analysis.

    c. Simple regression analysis for the ABBL:

    Variables Regression Equation r2

    TLG Vs. CAR TLG = - 79761 + 887980 CAR 59.5% 2.94 0.229

    From the above table, we can see that total liquidity gap of the ABBL had a very

    significant relationship with EPS, ROA and ROE. Among these three KPIs, EPS was

    the most influential during the period under study as it could alone explain 99.3%

    variations in total liquidity gap with 99.6% confidence level.

    d. Multiple regression analysis for the ABBL:

    Models Regression Equation r2

    F-testvalue

    P-value ofF-test

    Model - A TLG = 895 + 3.10 P/E Ratio + 17.9 EPS 99.8% 206.32 0.049

    Model B TLG = 358 + 11.6 P/E Ratio + 190723 ROA 98.7% 38.24 0.114

    Model C TLG = 1084 + 22.1 EPS - 2687 ROE 99.7% 168.33 0.054

    Model - D TLG = 1100 + 24.9 EPS - 75173 ROA 99.9% 788.48 0.025

    Model - E TLG = 140 + 15.2 P/E Ratio + 11161 ROE 99.9% 635.14 0.028

    Model - FTLG = 1178 + 1857 ADV /DEP - 8310 NPL/

    ADV73.8% 1.41 0.512

    From multiple regression analysis, we see that the profitability ratios (like the IBBL)had greater influence on determining liquidity position of the ABBL. From the above

    six models, we can say that Model D is statistically most significant model. With

  • 8/12/2019 v5_n1_article4.pdf

    16/20

    Journal of Islamic Economics, Banking and Finance, Volume-5 Number-1104

    97.5% confidence level Model D explained 99.9% variations in total liquidity gap of

    the ABBL during the period under study.

    From Model F, we can say that advance-deposit ratio and non-performing loan as

    percentage of total advances didnt contribute much in determining the liquidity

    position of the ABBL during the period under study.

    So, from regression analysis, we can say as a whole, for both the IBBL and the

    ABBL, profitability ratios had greater influence on determining the liquidity position.

    10. Conclusion:

    From the whole analysis, we see that Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited (the IBBL)

    showed comparatively better performance in liquidity management than the

    conventional AB Bank Limited for the period 2003 to 2006 both on short-term and

    long-term basis. Though the IBBL showed comparatively lower volatility in short-term liquidity management but in long-term liquidity management the ABBL showed

    better performance. However, in short-term the IBBL had positive liquidity gap on an

    average while the ABBL had the opposite. In long-term analysis both the banks

    experienced positive liquidity gap. In other words, both the banks could efficiently

    keep the long-term assets to satisfy long-term liabilities as and when they would be

    falling due. However, in case shorter-term though the IBBL had average positive

    liquidity gap but if we consider single year we find that in 2004 & 2005, it

    experienced negative liquidity gap. So, both the banks should take steps accordingly

    to manage and improve the short-term liquidity position. However, from regression

    analysis, we have found that profitability ratios had a greater impact on liquidity. For

    both of the banks, the KPIs like EPS, P/E ratio, ROE, ROA had influential role in

    determining the extent of liquidity.
