Real estate loans negatively impact Nepalese commercial banks' performance.
The study looked at how different types of loans and financial ratios affect the performance of banks in Nepal. They used data from 22 commercial banks over a 5-year period. The results showed that having more capital in the bank leads to higher profits. However, having a lot of real estate loans, term loans, overdraft loans, deprived sector loans, and non-performing loans can lower a bank's profits. Real estate loans and overdraft loans can increase a bank's equity returns. But having too many term loans, high capital ratios, and loan-to-deposit ratios can decrease a bank's equity returns.
