Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The capitalisation policy of banks plays a crucial role in ensuring financial stability and resilience in the banking sector. This study aims to investigate the effects of a new capitalisation policy on banks, specifically focusing on how the policy impacts their financial performance, risk management practices, and overall stability. The research will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis of financial data with qualitative assessments through interviews with bank executives and regulators. By examining the financial statements of banks before and after the implementation of the new capitalisation policy, the study will assess changes in key performance indicators such as capital adequacy ratios, return on assets, and non-performing loan ratios. Furthermore, the research will explore how banks have adjusted their risk management practices in response to the new capitalisation requirements. This will involve examining changes in the composition of bank assets and liabilities, as well as the adoption of new risk mitigation strategies. By analyzing these changes, the study aims to provide insights into how banks are adapting to the new regulatory environment and whether these adjustments are enhancing their overall stability. In addition, the research will investigate the impact of the new capitalisation policy on banks' lending activities and profitability. By examining trends in loan growth, interest margins, and fee income, the study will assess whether the policy has influenced banks' business models and revenue streams. This analysis will provide valuable information on how banks are navigating the trade-offs between capital requirements and profitability in the current regulatory landscape. Overall, this study seeks to contribute to the existing literature on banking regulation and capitalisation by providing empirical evidence on the effects of a new capitalisation policy on banks. The findings are expected to have implications for policymakers, regulators, and market participants interested in understanding how regulatory changes shape the behavior and performance of banks. By shedding light on the impacts of the new capitalisation policy, this research aims to inform future regulatory decisions and promote a safer and more stable banking system.
