| dc.description.abstract | Loan portfolio is the largest asset and source of revenue for banks. Therefore, its administration requires considerable skill and dexterity on the part of the bank management. The main objective of this study was to identify the determinants of lending decision of private commercial banks in Ethiopia. In order to achieve the research objectives, data was collected from a sample of ten private commercial banks over the period from 2009 to 2017. Bank specific and macroeconomic variables were analysed by using the balanced panel random effect regression model. Nine variables that affect banks’ lending decision were selected and analyzed with E-views version 9. Estimation results showed that bank size(BSIZ), real GDP growth rate(GDP) and exchange rate (EX) were positive and statistically significant while investment portfolio, volume of deposit, liquidity ratio and inflation rate were found to be statistically significant with negative effects respectively on total loans and advanced by private commercial banks in Ethiopia. However, credit risk ratio and cash reserve requirement ratio were statistically insignificant at all levels with positive and negative effects on private commercial banks lending decision respectively. Therefore, private commercial banks should adjust their lending decision in response to the signals from these factors, such that positive signals like bank size(BSIZ), real GDP growth rate(GDP) and exchange rate (EX) in this study make banks become more favorably disposed to lending and vice versa. | en_US |
