STATISTICAL OVERVIEW ( RATIO ANALYSIS)

20. 3.1. Introduction of Ratio Analysis :
Bank performance is similar to that of a regular traditional company..The money a bank earns from
investments,suchasstocksor real estate,isreferredtoas revenue.The costof the cash utilizedtomake
these investments must also be taken into account by banks.Profits are made in the end from the
difference between what banks spend for investments and what they collect from borrowers.Net
interest margin is the most prevalent measure for a bank's earnings.
There are a varietyof metricsusedto evaluate bank performance, with each stakeholder group having
its particular area of interest.The following are some of the most commonly used methods for
evaluating a bank's performance:
 Ratio Analysis.
 Economic Measure of performance.
 Market based measure of performance.
As a technique foranalyzingSonali BankLimited'sfinancial performance, I used Selected Ratio Analysis
and other Market Based Measures in my research.The purpose of this report is to assess the financial
performance of Sonali Bank Limited.So, let's take a look at Sonali Bank Ltd's financial ratios from the
previous year.
Analystsuse thismethodtodefine values and analyze risks by looking at the link between accounting
statistics and their changes over time.Ratio analysis provides analysts with useful information about
developinginsights into the economic characteristics of different industries and different firms in the
same economic additional, different over time in a single firm or between firms due to operation,
financing and investing decisions made by management, as well as external economic factors are
frequently highlighted by common-side statement.
3.2. Assumption of Ratio Analysis :
The ratio formis the mostfrequentwaytosummarize financial statement data.The following are some
of the reasons for reviewing data in ratio form:
 To reduce the impact of size disparities across the bank.
 To improve the data compliance with the assumptions that underpin statistical techniques
 To test a theory in which the variable of interest is a ratio.
 To take use of a previously documented empirical regularity between the estimation of a
financial ratio and the estimation of a variable of interest.
I have divided my overall ratio analysis into five separate section which are given bellow :
