Non-Interest Income and Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) Performance in Nigeria

The review of the regulations guiding the activities of Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria affected the revenue generated by DMBs, forcing most banks to diversify their sources of revenue to non-interest income. Panel data technique was employed to examine the impact of non-interest income on DMBs performance in Nigeria from 2012 through 2019. The empirical finding revealed that noninterest income, capital adequacy ratio, and bank loan positively and significantly impact DMBs’ performance in Nigeria. The study recommends that DMBs delve into non-interest income activities as it appeared to improve the performance of DMBs in Nigeria, and the monetary authority should review the policy guiding the non-interest income activities of the DMBs at regular intervals.How to Cite:Yunusa, L.

Reconciling Macroeconomic Determinants with Stock Market Performance in Selected Sub-Saharan African Countries: an ARDL Approach

Prior studies have adduced unstable macroeconomic factors to stock price movement overtime but the relationship between the duo remained unsettled. Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) technique was used to reconcile the macroeconomic determinants with performance of stock markets in selected Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) covering the period of 1999:1–2017:4. It was found that macroeconomic indicators were essential in determining stock market performance in Nigeria while South African stock market did not show any predictable linkage but the contemporaneous effect of oil price changes on stock market performance in selected SSA. The study, therefore, recommended that countries in SSA should reduce overdependence on oil to minimize external influence in order to promote stability of the stock markets

Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis of Entrepreneurial Orientation and Business Performance in Nigeria

This study advances research on entrepreneurial orientation and business performance by assessing, prioritizing, ranking, and evaluating decision choices among entrepreneurial orientation attributes that influence small and medium scale enterprise performance in Nigeria. Data were gathered through the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) tool called analytic hierarchy process (AHP) based questionnaire administered to practicing entrepreneurs in Lagos State, Nigeria. The population of the study consists of all the firms (mainly small and medium scale businesses) registered by Lagos Chamber of Commerce, totalling 1766 at the time of this study. The sample size was calculated through Yamane formula, while entrepreneurs managing the sampled firms were the respondents carefully selected for the study through a random sampling procedure. Data collected were analysed through descriptive statistics and analytic hierarchy process procedures for eliciting the consistency ratio, consistency index, Lambda Max, local and global priority values for an effective policy decision. The priorities were established in line with the AHP framework using pairwise comparisons and judgment of entrepreneurs. The results revealed the preference of entrepreneurial orientation dimension that influenced business performance most based on pairwise experiences and trade-off of different attributes. This study explores the application of AHP methodology for measuring complex entrepreneurial decision-making process for enhancing business performance. Thus, the AHP revealed a potential research method in computing weights and chasing MCDM process
