    Financial crisis is a situation in which the supply of money is outpaced by the demand for money. This means liquidity is quickly evaporated because available money is withdrawn from banks. The purpose of this study is to investigate impacts of global financial crisis on banking sector performance in Sri Lanka. It is based on the two objectives which were to assess relationship between financial crisis and bank performance and to examine impacts of Capital Adequacy, Assets Quality, Management Quality, Earnings and Liquidity on bank performance. Data was collected through the annual reports of selected commercial banks from 2007 to 2015.A descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were used to investigate relationship between Capital Adequacy Ratio, Gross Non Performing Advances Ratio, Interest Coverage Ratio, Return on Equity and Liquid Assets Ratio with the Bank performance. The findings indicate that Capital Adequacy Ratio, Gross Non Performing Advances Ratio, Interest Coverage Ratio, Return on Equity had a significant relationship with bank performance. But Liquid Assets Ratio had a no significant relationship with bank performance. Thus the study concludes that global financial crisis significantly influenced on the bank performance. Final outcome of this research is adding knowledge to bank entities to get an idea about how they can preserve their performance within crisis period.

    (2011) Jayamaha, A.; Mula, J.M.
    Many small financial institutions (SFIs) in developing countries make great effort to provide efficient services to poor house holders. It is generally accepted that maintaining the best financial practices which are of importance in corporate governance mechanism of institutions, has a close relationship with the efficiency of financial institutions, although they are small. This paper seeks to test best financial practices of cooperative rural banks in Sri Lanka (CRBs) and whether these practices have a significant impact on the efficiency of these institutions. The financial practices of CRBs was assessed using ratios of capital adequacy, liquidity, asset quality, loan to deposit, profitability, loan portfolio yield, operational efficiency, and operational self-sufficiency. The efficiency of CRBs in Sri Lanka was examined by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Based on the data extracted from CRBs’ financial statements, correlation coefficients showed that several ratios have significant associations with the efficiency of CRBs. This confirms that efficient CRBs maintain best financial practices which contribute to their higher levels of efficiency.

    (2010) Jayamaha, A.; Mula, J.M.
    Many small financial institutions (SFIs) in developing countries make great effort to provide efficient services to the poorhouse holders. It is generally accepted that maintaining the financial strength which is importance in corporate governance mechanism of institutions, has a close relationship with the efficiency of financial institutions, although they are small. However, there is a doubt of efficiency of SFIs in developing countries due to not maintaining appropriate financial practices. In Sri Lanka, recent collapses of many financial institutions also signal that they do not maintain sound financial practices. Cooperative rural banks in Sri Lanka (CRBs) one of the formal SFIs in Sri Lanka which serve a large number of customers, deal with a large amount of funds and have substantial contributions to the rural financial sector during the last four decades. This paper seeks to test financial strength of cooperative rural banks in Sri Lanka (CRBs) and whether these strengths have a significant impact on efficiency of these institutions. The financial strength of CRBs was assessed using ratios of capital adequacy, liquidity, asset quality, loan to deposit, profitability, loan portfolio yield, operational efficiency, and operational self-sufficiency. The efficiency of CRBs in Sri Lanka was examined by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), a non-parametric analytic technique. Based on the data extracted from CRBs? financial statements, correlation coefficients showed that several financial practices have significant associations with the efficiency of CRBs in Sri Lanka. This confirms that efficient SFIs maintain sound financial practices which contribute to higher levels of efficiency.
