Impact of Political Affiliation on Bank Profitability in Nigeria
Date Written: July 16, 2009
Abstract
To improve the understanding of bank profitability in Nigeria, this study sought to econometrically analyze the relationship between political affiliation and bank profitability. Using a panel data set comprising 115 observations of 14 unique banks over the last democratic dispensation (1999-2007), regression results reveal that political affiliation has a positive albeit insignificant impact on bank profitability in Nigeria. Therefore, in order to maximize profitability, managements and shareholders of banks in Nigeria may wish to consider the political affiliation strategy.
