Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The capitalisation policy of banks plays a crucial role in ensuring financial stability and resilience within the banking sector. This research project aims to investigate the effects of a new capitalisation policy on banks, focusing on how it impacts their operations, risk management practices, and overall financial health. The study will involve an in-depth analysis of the implementation of the new capitalisation policy in select banks, examining the changes in their capital structure, capital adequacy ratios, and profitability metrics before and after the policy's adoption. By comparing the pre-policy and post-policy data, the research aims to identify any significant shifts in the financial performance and risk profiles of the banks under study. Furthermore, the research will explore the implications of the new capitalisation policy on banks' lending activities, liquidity management, and ability to withstand economic downturns. By assessing the impact of the policy on these key areas, the study seeks to provide insights into how banks are adjusting their strategies and operations to comply with the new regulatory requirements. In addition, the research will investigate the perceptions and responses of key stakeholders, including bank executives, regulators, and investors, towards the new capitalisation policy. By conducting interviews and surveys with these stakeholders, the study aims to capture their perspectives on the effectiveness of the policy in promoting financial stability and mitigating systemic risks within the banking sector. Overall, this research project will contribute to the existing literature on banking regulation and capital adequacy by providing empirical evidence on the effects of a new capitalisation policy on banks. The findings of the study are expected to offer valuable insights for policymakers, regulators, and industry practitioners in assessing the impact of regulatory changes on the banking sector and formulating future policy initiatives to enhance financial stability and risk management practices.
