Abstract

Purpose: The study's objective is to provide insight on the influence of liquidity risk and credit risk on the Bank of Bhutan (BoB) financial performance. For this Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Asset (ROA) were employed as dependent variables in this study to assess BOB's economic health. Liquidity risk and credit risk have been used as independent variable which is measured using CAMEL model for this study. Methodology: The study is based on data from secondary source i.e., annual financial report furnished by BoB for 10 years (2010-2019), where descriptive research is generated based on quantitative analysis Findings: The study's findings demonstrated that the independent factors (liquidity risk and credit risk) had a substantial influence on BOB's financial performance, as evaluated by proxy variables ROE and ROA. The study also discovered that, unlike credit risk, liquidity risk has a considerable influence on the ROA. Value/Originality: This paper is based on descriptive study of the secondary data for the Bank of Bhutan, the largest commercial bank of Bhutan. The study context is not well represented in the body of knowledge and is less explored in the context of Bhutan. Limitations: The study examines only the liquidity risk and credit risk of BoB, there are other risks also that might affect the financial performance. Further, this study is based only on the study of one bank in Bhutan and is based on the annual reports (2010- 2019) of the bank. Keywords: Financial Performance, Return on Asset, Return on Equity, Liquidity Risk, Credit Risk, Introduction Bank of Bhutan (BoB) is the oldest bank in the country and plays a pivotal role in economic development. It provides wide array of financial products and services, which [...]

Abstract

Background: Alcohol use is a major public health problem in Bhutan. Compliance with regulations at the point of sale is an important strategy in alcohol control. Retail outlets were briefed on sale regulations and provided notification of rules, which they were directed to display on the premises. The extent to which licensed alcohol outlets responded to possible alcohol purchases was assessed through the use of young proxy-purchasers, adults feigning alcohol intoxication and sober adults. A total of 854 visits (pre versus post visits) were made across four district towns. Two towns (Damphu town in Tsirang district and Pema Gatshel town in Pema Gatshel district) received pre- and post-intervention purchase surveys, while the other two neighbouring towns (Khuruthang town in Punakha and Bajo town in Wangdue) were administered only baseline surveys.Method: We used a pre- and post-test community intervention design covering all alcohol retailers both on premise (bar, hotel, restaurant, karaoke bars) and off premise (grocery shops). Compliance with alcohol regulations at the point of sale was assessed through the use of young proxy-purchasers, adults feigning alcohol intoxication and sober adults.Results: Retailers rarely checked the age and/or identification (ID) of the proxy-purchasers before the intervention. There was a 22.7% (8.6, 37) percent increase in compliance with laws after the intervention. While some strategies are suggested, the strongest and most effective measure to prevent under-age drinking and service to intoxicated individuals is more rigorous enforcement of existing liquor laws.Conclusion: Alcohol control requires ongoing government enforcements, supplemented by public awareness and knowledge.
