calculated.

Data Analysis
Data analysis has been done based on CAMEL Approach. All related ratios have been calculated
for both public and private sector banks except Management Soundness, that unfortunately Gross
Non Performing Assets were not available in Balance Sheets. We have examine 7 private banks
out of 8, and 3 public banks. Arian Bank as a private bank was not considered in this study due
to lack of data related to financial statement to period considered. Maiwand Bank financial
statement for FY 2018 was not accessible. For this bank I studied only two years, FY 2016 and
FY 2017.
Capital Adequacy Ratio helps the banks to realize capability during risk. Capital Adequacy
protect interest of depositors of a bank. Here Capital Adequacy is calculated by dividing Equity
to Total Assets. And average percentage of public sector banks and average percentage of private
sector banks are compared, to find out which sector is better far in term of CAR.

This parameter measures financial performance of an organization. And explain profitability and
productivity of a bank. Earning of a bank is indicator of its profitability. There are certain ratios
which are used to examine Earning Quality of a bank. These ratios are: Return on Asset or ROA
(Net Profit after Tax to Total Asset), Net Interest Margin (Net Interest Income to Total Asset)
Return on Asset is a financial Ratio that shows profit of a company with relation to its Total
Asset. Higher the percentage of ROA, higher is the earning quality and higher management

than private sector banks. Based on 6 ratios, which is analyzed in this study, public sector banks
got 4 positive points out of 6, and private sector banks got 2 positive point out of 6. Public sector
banks performed well on Capital Adequacy Ratio, Return on Asset, Return on Investment and
Liquidity Analysis. And private sector banks acted well on Asset Quality and Net Interest
Margin.
