    Study Notes

    Net Interest Income (NII)

    • Represents the difference between the income generated from a bank's interest-earning assets and the expenses associated with paying out interest on its liabilities.
    • Serves as a key indicator of a bank's profitability from its core lending activities.

    Investment in Subsidiaries

    • Investments made by a bank in its subsidiaries are categorized under 'Investments' on the balance sheet.
    • These investments help diversify the bank's portfolio and can provide additional revenue streams.

    Calculation of Net Interest Income

    • NII is calculated using the formula:
    • NII = Interest Income - Interest Expense*
    • This formula highlights the profitability of the bank's lending and investment activities minus the cost of funding.

    Net Interest Margin (N.I.M.)

    • N.I.M. measures the efficiency of a bank's investment and lending strategies relative to its net interest income.
    • Calculated using the formula:
    • N.I.M. = (Net Interest Income / Average Earning Assets) x 100*
    • This ratio provides insights into the bank's ability to manage its assets effectively.

    Economic Equity Ratio

    • Used to assess the sustainability and financial stability of a bank.
    • Calculated using the formula:
    • Economic Equity Ratio = (Total Equity / Total Assets) x 100*
    • A higher ratio indicates better solvency, showing that a larger proportion of assets is funded by equity rather than debt.
