dc.description.abstractThis research investigates the effect of loan portfolio management on the liquidity of selected commercial banks in Ethiopia. Effective loan portfolio management plays a crucial role in maintaining a bank’s liquidity, ensuring financial stability, and mitigating risks. The study employs an Estimated Generalized least squares econometric regression model using data from nine commercial banks over a period of eight years (2017–2024) the model was used to correct for heterosdastcity. Liquidity is measured as the ratio of liquid assets to total assets and ratio of liquid assets to customer deposits, while loan portfolio management is assessed through diversification indices, the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) for sectorial and loan-type diversification. The study also incorporates control variables such as bank size, capital adequacy, profitability, deposit-to-asset ratio, GDP growth, and inflation. The findings reveal that loan portfolio diversification, sectorial diversification and loan type divarication have a significant effect on bank liquidity. The study concludes that improved diversification strategies can enhance bank liquidity and financial resilience. It recommends that commercial banks adopt a balanced loan diversification strategy to mitigate liquidity risks while ensuring optimal financial performance
