The paper illustrates how Trust Bank Limited's financial services relate to several facets of Bangladesh's financial industry. CAMEL is the acronym for the five factors that are considered while ranking. It is only used by upper management to understand and manage possible risks. A comprehensive analysis of Trust Bank's annual reports spanning from 2018 to 2022 is necessary. by looking over every annual report and every element required to compute various CAMEL ratios. Gaining a thorough grasp of Trust Bank Limited's financial operations is the primary objective of this study. Furthermore, a CAMEL ratio analysis of TBL is performed in order to determine the overall performance and strength of the bank's financial position. FINANCIAL SERVICES AND CAMEL RATIO ANALYSIS OF TRUST BANK LIMITED VII Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1 Background of the study The banking sector plays an important executes in the money-making business to support a nation's economy. Commercial banks are facing more competition nowadays. When the government decided to let businesses in the private sector, the real shift began. One of the top private commercial banks in Bangladesh, Trust Bank Limited has a network of 115 branches and SME centers, 7 sub-branch offices, 256 ATM booths, and more than 500 point-ofsale locations. It also has plans to open additional branches to cover key commercial areas in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and other cities. The bank is the first of its kind in the nation and is supported by the Army Welfare Trust (AWT). Trust Bank has been in business in Bangladesh since 1999 and has gained the public's trust as a reliable and stable bank thanks to its extensive offering of contemporary corporate and consumer financial products. The main goal of this research is to gain a complete understanding of Trust Bank Limited's financial operations. In addition, a CAMEL ratio analysis of TBL is carried out to ascertain the overall strength and performance of the bank's financial situation. With a focus on financial services and annual reports of TBL, it will reflect TBL's position in banking sector procedures and rules. While interned with TBL, it is able to closely examine their operations, learn about financial institutions, and gain expertise with their procedures. 1.2 Statement of the Project Issue Assuring the stability and soundness of banks is crucial in the quickly changing financial services industry. Depositors, investors, and the whole economy are all impacted by the financial health of banks, which has a direct impact on the stability of the entire financial system. However, in today's intricate and interwoven financial environment, determining a bank's financial health with accuracy necessitates a thorough methodology. The problem is that many stakeholders still find it difficult to completely comprehend and make good use of recognized frameworks like the CAMEL ratio analysis (Capital Adequacy, Asset Quality, Management Quality, Earnings, and Liquidity). Banks themselves, regulatory agencies, investors, and clients all struggle to understand CAMEL ratios and use the knowledge learned to make wise decisions. FINANCIAL SERVICES AND CAMEL RATIO ANALYSIS OF TRUST BANK LIMITED 1 By analyzing a thorough investigation of financial services and the CAMEL ratio analysis for the Trust Bank Limited, this study seeks to solve this issue. It aims to accomplish the following goals by carefully analyzing the bank's financial statements and operational data: Analyze CAMEL ratios with an emphasis on Capital Adequacy, Asset Quality, Management Quality, Earnings, and Liquidity to evaluate the financial stability and health of the chosen bank. Determine Key Challenges: Determine any significant issues or problems that the CAMEL analysis identified as being at risk to the operations and soundness of the bank's finances. Give advice: Based on the analysis, offer the bank strategic suggestions and insights to improve its operational and financial efficiency. Improve Stakeholder grasp: To support better decision-making, stakeholders, such as the bank's management, regulators, investors, and customers, should have a better grasp of CAMEL ratio analysis. By addressing these problems, the report hopes to further the overarching objective of promoting financial stability within the banking industry and making sure that stakeholders have the resources and information required to evaluate and protect the soundness of financial institutions. 1.3 Objective of the Study Major Objectives: To evaluate the overall financial stability and performance of the bank by employing the CAMEL (Capital Adequacy, Asset Quality, Management Quality, Earnings Quality, Liquidity) framework. Specific Objectives: To summarize the findings, analysis, and recommendations in a comprehensive report suitable for stakeholders, including bank management, regulatory bodies, and investors. FINANCIAL SERVICES AND CAMEL RATIO ANALYSIS OF TRUST BANK LIMITED 2 1.4 Significance and Rationale of the Study The significance of the study for the project of 'Financial Services and CAMEL Ratio Analysis of a Bank' can be further elaborated by highlighting its importance in various contexts: Policymakers can learn from the study's findings how successful current banking laws and policies are. It may result in the need for regulatory frameworks to be improved or adjusted. The study's evaluation of TBL's financial soundness makes it important. For a bank to be successful in the long run and for the financial system to continue to be trusted, it is essential to understand its financial situation. It aids in recognizing and controlling hazards in the functioning of the bank. This is crucial since financial crises can have a significant impact on both the bank and the entire economy. The investigation makes sure that the bank follows all rules and regulations. This is necessary to safeguard the interests of investors and depositors as well as the financial system's integrity. CAMEL analysis can be used as an early warning system to spot impending financial crises or problems in the banking industry. Systemic issues can be prevented with prompt treatments. Making educated decisions can be aided by comparative analysis of several banks or financial institutions, which can reveal market trends and best practises. These studies add to the body of general academic and business research. They can provide as a starting point for additional research and conversations about banking and financial stability. Financial stability depends on the general public's confidence in the banking industry. Public confidence in the banking system is increased by the financial services industry's transparency and adherence to regulatory requirements. The rationale for conducting a study on 'Financial Services and CAMEL Ratio Analysis of a Bank' can be outlined as follows: The stability of the financial system and the overall economy depends heavily on banks. Their ability to endure economic shocks and crises is assessed using CAMEL ratios, averting systemic disruptions. FINANCIAL SERVICES AND CAMEL RATIO ANALYSIS OF TRUST BANK LIMITED 3 A bank provides services to a variety of stakeholders, including shareholders, borrowers, employees, and depositors. By detecting potential risks and vulnerabilities, evaluating its financial services and CAMEL ratios protects the interests of these stakeholders. Strict regulatory requirements for banks are in place to protect the integrity of the financial system. This research confirms the bank's adherence to these guidelines, guaranteeing that it operates within the bounds of the law and morality. The study contributes to improving risk management procedures by identifying and evaluating hazards in the bank's operations. By doing this, the chance of financial distress that could have an impact on the larger financial system is reduced while still protecting the bank. Policymakers may be influenced by the study's findings when drafting banking laws and regulations. A more resilient and stable financial system may result from this. By serving as an early warning system, CAMEL analysis enables prompt responses to avert possible systemic or financial catastrophes. The study advances our knowledge of banking and financial stability by adding to the body of academic and industry-specific research. Public confidence in the banking industry is increased by transparency and conformity to regulatory requirements. For drawing in deposits and preserving economic stability, a stable banking system is necessary. 1.5 Scope and Limitations Scope: A variety of people and organizations can benefit from this report on the "Financial Services and CAMEL Ratio Analysis of Trust Bank Limited" for different reasons. The following are some possible uses and advantages of this report for various parties involved: Investors, whether individual or institutional, can use the report to assess the bank's financial health and risk profile. This information can help them make informed decisions about investing in the bank's stock or bonds. Existing shareholders can use the report to evaluate the bank's financial performance and the effectiveness of its management. This information can guide decisions related to holding or selling their shares. Bank executives can use the report to identify areas that require improvement and adjust their strategic plans accordingly. For example, if the report identifies weaknesses in asset quality, the bank may focus on improving loan portfolio management. FINANCIAL SERVICES AND CAMEL RATIO ANALYSIS OF TRUST BANK LIMITED 4 Lenders and creditors can assess the bank's creditworthiness based on the CAMEL analysis. This can influence their decisions on extending credit or providing financing. Customers who have accounts or financial relationships with the bank may use the report to assess the safety of their deposits and investments. This can influence their decision to continue or change their banking relationships. The report can serve as a source of information for the general public, increasing awareness about the financial health of the bank and its impact on the broader economy. Limitations: It is imperative to acknowledge the limits of this report on the "Financial Services and CAMEL Ratio Analysis of Trust Bank Limited" before utilizing it as a useful resource for comprehending the bank's financial status. A few possible restrictions on this report are as follows: With only three months for the internship, it was insufficient time to assess every aspect of Trust Bank Ltd. Due to limitations on intern access to bank classified information, the report focused on factors that are readily apparent to the general public. Although some primary data are included, the majority of the data utilized are secondary, which is one of the report's limitations. The report primarily relies on historical financial data. While this data provides valuable insights, it may not fully capture the current or future conditions of the bank. Economic, regulatory, and market changes can impact the bank's situation. The CAMEL analysis relies on various assumptions and benchmarks. Different analysts or institutions may use different assumptions, leading to varying results. It's important to understand the specific assumptions used in the report. The report focuses primarily on financial aspects, and while the CAMEL framework covers important dimensions of a bank's stability, it does not encompass all aspects of a bank's operations, such as market reputation, customer service, or future growth potential. The report may not consider external economic, political, or global factors that can influence a bank's performance. Changes in interest rates, economic crises, or political instability can significantly affect a bank's stability. The CAMEL framework assesses financial risk but may not comprehensively evaluate other types of risks, such as operational, cybersecurity, or reputational risks. FINANCIAL SERVICES AND CAMEL RATIO ANALYSIS OF TRUST BANK LIMITED 5 Chapter 2: Literature Review FINANCIAL SERVICES AND CAMEL RATIO ANALYSIS OF TRUST BANK LIMITED 6 The CAMEL Rating System was created in the US as a supervisory rating system to evaluate the general health of a bank. The five variables that are taken into account for the ranking are abbreviated as CAMEL. The CAMEL rating is private, in contrast to other regulatory ratios or ratings. Only top management uses it to comprehend and control potential hazards. Bank regulatory authorities utilize the internationally known CAMEL rating system to assign financial organizations a score based on the five criteria that make up the acronym. Authorities in charge of supervision rate each bank on a scale. For each factor, a score of one indicates the best and a score of five indicates the worst. The CAMEL acronym stands for • • • • • Capital adequacy, Asset quality, Management quality, Earnings quality, Liquidity Capital adequacy: Capital adequacy assesses an institution’s compliance with regulations on the minimum capital reserve amount. Regulators establish the rating by assessing the financial institution’s capital position currently and over several years. There are two ratios for capital adequacy: CAR Ratio: Equity to asset: Increase in capital adequacy id positive sign for the bank. Asset quality: This category assesses the quality of a bank’s assets. Asset quality is important, as the value of assets can decrease rapidly if they are high risk. For example, loans are a type of asset that can become impaired if money is lent to a high-risk individual. FINANCIAL SERVICES AND CAMEL RATIO ANALYSIS OF TRUST BANK LIMITED 7 Asset quality also consists of two ratios: 𝑁𝑃𝐿 NPL ratio: NPL to equity; Management quality: Management capability measures the ability of an institution’s management team to identify and then react to financial stress. The category depends on the quality of a bank’s business strategy, financial performance, and internal controls. In the business strategy and financial performance area, the CAMELS examiner looks at the institution’s plans for the next few years. It includes the capital accumulation rate, growth rate, and identification of the major risks. It also consists of two ratios: Asset growth: Loan Growth: Earnings quality: Earnings help to evaluate an institution’s long term viability. A bank needs an appropriate return to be able to grow its operations and maintain its competitiveness. The examiner specifically looks at the stability of earnings, return on assets (ROA), net interest margin (NIM), and future earnings prospects under harsh economic conditions. It also consists of two ratios: ROA: ROE: FINANCIAL SERVICES AND CAMEL RATIO ANALYSIS OF TRUST BANK LIMITED 8 Liquidity For banks, liquidity is especially important, as the lack of liquid capital can lead to a bank run. This category of CAMELS examines the interest rate risk and liquidity risk. Interest rates affect the earnings from a bank’s capital markets business segment. If the exposure to interest rate risk is large, then the institution’s investment and loan portfolio value will be volatile. Liquidity risk is defined as the risk of not being able to meet present or future cash flow needs without affecting day-to-day operations. It also consists of two ratios: Deposit to asset: Loan to deposits: History and Evolution Origin and Development: The CAMEL rating system was introduced by regulatory agencies like the Federal Reserve in the United States in the 1970s. It was initially a qualitative rating system but later evolved into a quantitative framework with specific ratios and indicators. International Adoption: The CAMEL framework has been adopted internationally, with variations such as the CAMELS framework in the United States and the CAMELIA framework in Europe, reflecting regional nuances in financial regulation. Relevance and Applications Regulatory Compliance: CAMEL ratios are used by regulatory authorities to ensure that financial institutions meet minimum capital and risk management standards. Risk Assessment: Researchers and practitioners use CAMEL ratios to identify and assess the risk profile of financial institutions, helping investors make informed decisions. Performance Benchmarking: CAMEL ratios are employed to compare the performance of different banks and to track performance over time. FINANCIAL SERVICES AND CAMEL RATIO ANALYSIS OF TRUST BANK LIMITED 9 Strengths and Weaknesses Strengths: CAMEL provides a comprehensive framework for assessing financial institutions. It is well-established, easy to understand, and widely accepted. It helps in early identification of potential problems in banks. Weaknesses: Critics argue that CAMEL may not capture all relevant risks and may be backward-looking. It also doesn't consider macroeconomic factors and systemic risks. Recent Developments and Future Trends Technology and Data Analytics: Recent developments include the use of advanced data analytics and machine learning techniques to enhance the assessment of CAMEL ratios, making it more predictive and forward-looking. Integration with Stress Testing: CAMEL ratios are increasingly integrated with stress testing exercises to assess how banks would perform under adverse economic conditions. Majumdar (2016), measured the financial performance of 15 banks in Bangladesh with CAMEL Model. Using Composite Ranking, average and ANOVA he concluded that there had been significant difference in the performance of selected banks. The study suggested that banks should take required steps to recover their shortcomings. Erol (2014), compared the performance of Islamic banks against conventional banks in Turkey by using CAMEL model. The results showed that Islamic banks performed better in profitability and asset management ratios compared to conventional banks but slow in sensitivity to market risk criterion. Anita Makkar (2013), analyzed comparative analysis of the financial performance of Indian commercial banks.The study concluded that on an average, there is no statistically significant difference in the financial performance of the public and private sector banks in India, but still, there is a need for overall improvement in the public sector banks to make their position strong in the competitive market.Sushendra KumarMisra(2013), assessed the performance and financial soundness of State Bank Group using CAMEL approach, and concluded that there is a requirement to improve its position in respect to asset quality and capital adequacy. Aswini Kumar Mishra and et.al (2013), analyzed the soundness and the efficiency of 12 public and private sector banks based on market cap. CAMEL approach has been used over a period of twelve years (2000-2011), and it is established that private sector banks are at the top of the list, with their performances in terms of soundness being the best. PriyaPonraj and GurusamyRajendran (2012), measured the bank competitiveness among the select Indian commercial banks in terms of financial strength. Financial strength of the bank is measured in terms of financial ratios viz. efficiency ratio, profitability ratio, capital adequacy ratio, incomeexpenditure ratio, deposits and return ratios. It is found that foreign banks are the most FINANCIAL SERVICES AND CAMEL RATIO ANALYSIS OF TRUST BANK LIMITED 10 competitive compared to the private and public sector banks in terms of the profitability ratio, returns ratio and capital adequacy ratio. Sufian Fadzlan (2012) examined the internal and external factors that influenced the performance of banks operating in the Indian banking sector during the period 2000-2008. The empirical findings from this study suggest that credit risk, network embeddedness, operating expenses, liquidity and size have statistically significant impact on the profitability of Indian banks. Ashok Khurana and KanikaGoyal (2011), analysed the financial performance of publicsector banks and commercial banks in India , using the trend of operating cost / total cost, cost to income, labor/non labor cost, net interest income, NPA and capital to risk weighted asset ratio, the study observed that there is a need for increased absorption of enhanced technological capability by several banks to further argument yield of the banking sector and this would call for changes in processes and improvement in human resource skills. Ramachandran and Kavitha (2009), analyzed the importance of improving the profitability performance of the banking sector in recent years, a census study has been adopted by covering all the Indian scheduled commercial banks. The nationalized banks group showed a position of provisions and contingencies to total expenses in the first half of the study period and Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) during the second half of the study period. In relation to the private banks group, it has changed from other interest expenses ratio to capital adequacy ratio.

Quantitative research is a systematic empirical research method that deals mainly with the systematic collection and interpretation of numerical data. It is used to study phenomena by gathering measurable data and performing statistical, mathematical, or computational analysis. Quantitative research is often contrasted with qualitative research, which focuses on understanding the underlying reasons, motivations, and meanings behind human behavior. A systematic research design is used in this study to compute the various ratios needed for the CAMEL ratio analysis. The research questions or hypotheses to be tested, as well as the techniques and protocols for data collection and analysis, are described in this design. Numerical data collecting is a part of the research. Numerous techniques, including surveys, experiments, observations, and the analysis of pre-existing datasets, can be used to collect this data. The information gathered from Trust Bank Ltd.'s annual report is numerical and therefore amenable to statistical analysis. After the ratios are examined, a suitable conclusion that demonstrates Trust Bank Ltd.'s profitability is eventually produced. In addition, this study does some qualitative research to identify Trust Bank Ltd.'s financial services and background in general. 4.2 Data Types Although this report mainly relies on secondary data, the data used is considerably different from traditional reports. Although some primary data is included, secondary data is the major source of all information. Secondary data for the CAMEL ratio study is gathered from Trust Bank's annual reports for the years 2018 through 2022. In addition, I've focused on the useful observation. Inperson interviews are used to get the required data. Ratio analysis was used to evaluate the Trust Bank Dilkusha branch's performance. However, in the end, my own personal expertise makes up practically the whole report. FINANCIAL SERVICES AND CAMEL RATIO ANALYSIS OF TRUST BANK LIMITED 20 Sources of Data: While preparing the report, I have taken information from the following sources: Primary Sources: Observation of banking activities. Overflowing Conversation with the manager and employees of Trust Bank Limited, Dilkusha Corporate Branch. Working with my own experience while internship program.

The research is based on CAMEL ratio analysis, which examines the balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements of Trust Bank Limited's annual reports from 2018 to 2022 in order to analyse the bank's yearly performance. To arrive at the ultimate result, the numerous camel ratio analysis data are calculated in a methodical manner. The information gathered from the annual reports is compiled in a way that makes it simple for readers to understand the various camel ratio analysis ratios, which will facilitate easier and more efficient decision-making for investors. FINANCIAL SERVICES AND CAMEL RATIO ANALYSIS OF TRUST BANK LIMITED 22 4.5 Variables Covered CAMEL ratio analysis is a method used to assess the financial stability and performance of financial institutions, particularly banks and credit unions. The acronym CAMEL represents six key components or ratios that are analyzed to evaluate the overall health of a financial institution. Here are the variables covered in CAMEL ratio analysis: C - Capital Adequacy: This ratio measures the capital strength of the financial institution. It assesses whether the institution has enough capital to absorb potential losses. Common measures include the Tier 1 Capital Ratio and Total Capital Ratio. A - Asset Quality: NPLs are loans that are not generating income because the borrower has stopped making payments. The ratio of NPLs to total loans is examined. M - Management Quality: This variable covers an assessment of the governance, management quality, and decision-making processes within the institution. E - Earnings Performance: This is a profitability ratio that measures how efficiently the institution is generating earnings from its assets. L - Liquidity: This ratio assesses the availability of liquid assets to meet short-term liabilities, ensuring that the institution can meet its obligations without relying too heavily on external funding sources. 4.6 Methods of data collection and instruments used in data collection The Trust Bank's financial results from 2018 to 2022 served as the study's foundation. The following factors are used to analyse the CAMEL ratios: liquidity (deposit to asset ratio and loan to deposit ratio inverse), capital adequacy (car ratio and equity to asset ratio), earning quality (return on equity and asset growth), asset quality (NPL ratio and equity to asset ratio), and management quality (asset growth and loan growth inverse). The author's internship at Trust Bank, observations made during the internship, and personal experience are all incorporated into this study. Furthermore, the computation of the CAMEL ratio is totally dependent on the bank's yearly reports spanning from 2018 to 2022. In order to analyse the bank's yearly performance, the data are gathered from the study of Trust Bank's annual reports as well as the experience of an internship at the bank. Next, the data are gathered and scrutinised from the balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements of Trust Bank Limited's annual reports from 2018 to 2022. FINANCIAL SERVICES AND CAMEL RATIO ANALYSIS OF TRUST BANK LIMITED 23 4.7 Data processing and analysis Following the generation of the necessary data, the CAMEL ratio is examined using a variety of ratio-related criteria. The CAMEL acronym stands for Capital adequacy, Asset quality, Management quality, Earnings quality, Liquidity. The Data processing and analysis methods that are used in the report are mentioned as follows: Capital adequacy: There are two ratios for capital adequacy: CAR Ratio: Equity to asset: Asset quality: Asset quality also consists of two ratios: 𝑁𝑃𝐿 NPL ratio: NPL to equity; Management quality: It also consists of two ratios: Asset growth: Loan Growth: Earnings quality: It also consists of two ratios: ROA: ROE: FINANCIAL SERVICES AND CAMEL RATIO ANALYSIS OF TRUST BANK LIMITED 24 Liquidity: It also consists of two ratios: Deposit to asset: Loan to deposits: FINANCIAL SERVICES AND CAMEL RATIO ANALYSIS OF TRUST BANK LIMITED 25 Chapter 5: Study Results and Findings FINANCIAL SERVICES AND CAMEL RATIO ANALYSIS OF TRUST BANK LIMITED 26 Study Results and Findings: This section examines the Trust Banks Ltd.'s financial performance using the CAMEL analysis to ascertain whether the bank is operating profitably or not from 2018 to 2022. Unlike other regulatory ratios or ratings, the CAMEL rating is private. It is only used by upper management to understand and manage possible risks. Financial institutions are given a score by bank regulatory agencies using the globally recognised CAMELS rating system, which is based on five factors. Supervisory authorities provide a numerical value to each bank. A score of one denotes the best result for each factor, while a score of five denotes the worst.

It shows that the CAR ratio is increasing yearly till 2020, which is excellent news for the bank; however, the ratio has been declining for the last two years following COVID-19, indicating that the bank will need to improve in the years to come. In 2018, the CAR was 14.4%, which is a positive sign. The subsequent years (2019 and 2020) show an increasing trend in the CAR, which is indeed good news for the bank. It indicates that Trust Bank was strengthening its capital position during this period. However, starting from 2021, the CAR began to decline, and this trend continued into 2022. The statement attributes this decline to the impact of COVID-19. FINANCIAL SERVICES AND CAMEL RATIO ANALYSIS OF TRUST BANK LIMITED 28 Graph-2: Equity to Total Asset (ETA) Ratio 5.80% 5.65% 5.60% 5.40% 5.20% 5.06% 4.94% 5.00% 4.99% 4.79% 4.80% 4.60% 4.40% 4.20% 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 ETA Trust Bank's equity to total asset (ETA) ratio was 5.06 percent in 2018 and 5.65 percent, 4.94% percent, 4.99% percent, and 4.79% percent in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022, according to Graph2. The ETA ratio is rising annually through 2019 and is expected to remain above 5%, which is great news for the bank. Nevertheless, since COVID-19, the ratio has been falling and has been below 5% for the last three years, meaning that the bank will need to make improvements in the years ahead. In 2018, the ETA ratio was 5.06%, which suggests that 5.06% of the total assets were financed by equity. The subsequent years (2019 and 2020) show an increasing trend in the ETA ratio, reaching 5.65% in 2019. This is considered good news, as it indicates an improvement in the bank's equity position relative to its total assets. However, starting from 2021, the ETA ratio began to decline, and this trend continued into 2022. The statement attributes this decline to the impact of COVID-19. FINANCIAL SERVICES AND CAMEL RATIO ANALYSIS OF TRUST BANK LIMITED 29 Asset Quality: The graphs below show the Asset Quality ratio with NPL ratio and NPL to equity of Trust Bank: Graph-3: NPL ratio 9.00% 7.90% 8.00% 7.00% 5.49% 6.00% 4.76% 4.51% 5.00% 3.65% 4.00% 3.00% 2.00% 1.00% 0.00% 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 NPL ratio Graph-3 shows that Trust Bank's non-performing loan (NPL) ratio was 7.90 percent in 2018 and 5.49, 4.51, 3.65, and 4.76 percent in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. It's excellent news for the bank because the NPL ratio is declining yearly over time. NPL ratio statistics show that, despite a little increase in non-performing loans (NPLs) in 2022, Trust Bank's overall outlook is excellent. In 2018, the NPL ratio was 7.90%, which may indicate a relatively higher level of nonperforming loans. The subsequent years (2019 to 2021) show a decreasing trend in the NPL ratio, reaching 3.65% in 2021. This is indeed positive news, as it suggests an improvement in the quality of the bank's loan portfolio and a better ability to manage credit risk. In 2022, there is a slight increase in the NPL ratio to 4.76%. While there's a small uptick, the overall trend remains favorable, and the statement indicates that Trust Bank's overall outlook is excellent.

The NPL to equity ratio is decreasing annually, which is great news for the bank. NPL to equity ratio data indicates that Trust Bank's overall outlook is solid, even with a slight increase in 2022. In 2018, the NPL to equity ratio was 117.80%, which is relatively high and could be a cause for concern as it suggests a significant portion of non-performing loans compared to the equity base. However, the subsequent years (2019 to 2021) show a decreasing trend in the NPL to equity ratio, reaching 50.01% in 2021. This is excellent news, as it indicates an improvement in the bank's ability to cover potential losses with its equity. In 2022, there is a slight increase in the NPL to equity ratio to 70.88%. While there's a modest uptick, the overall trend remains positive, and the statement suggests that Trust Bank's overall outlook is solid.

The bank's asset growth is increasing annually, which is great news. There was a decline in 2021, which was obviously caused by COVID-19, but the bank has improved its position in 2022. Despite a decline in 2021, asset growth figures indicate that Trust Bank's future is still very positive. In 2018, Trust Bank's asset growth was 8.18%, indicating a positive expansion of its total assets. The subsequent years (2019 and 2020) show a significant increase in asset growth, reaching 13.57% and 20.24%, respectively. This suggests robust growth and expansion for the bank during these years. In 2021, there is a decline in asset growth to 3.65%. The statement attributes this decline to the impact of COVID-19, which is a common phenomenon as the pandemic has affected various industries and economic activities globally. However, in 2022, there is a rebound in asset growth to 14.19%, indicating a recovery and improvement in the bank's position.

It's excellent news that the bank's loan growth is increasing yearly. Although there was a drop in 2020 clearly brought on by COVID19—the bank's standing has significantly rebounded in 2021 and 2022. Loan growth statistics show that Trust Bank's future is still quite bright, even with a drop in 2020. In 2018, Trust Bank's loan growth was 6.38%, indicating positive expansion in its loan portfolio. In 2019 and 2020, the loan growth figures are 6.91% and 4.88%, respectively. The statement notes a drop in 2020, attributing it to the impact of COVID-19. This decline is a common trend observed in many financial institutions worldwide during the pandemic, as economic uncertainties led to a cautious approach to lending. However, in 2021, there is a significant rebound in loan growth to 16.09%, and this positive trend continues in 2022 with a growth of 15.62%. This indicates a robust recovery and expansion in Trust Bank's lending activities in the post-COVID period.

It's excellent to hear that the bank's return on asset (ROA) has been consistent over time. The bank saw a drop in 2020, which was undoubtedly brought on by COVID-19, but it recovered in 2021 and 2022 and kept its ROA stable. Return on asset (ROA) statistics show that Trust Bank has a bright future, even with a fall in 2020. In 2018, Trust Bank's ROA was 0.74%, indicating that it generated a profit of 0.74 cents for every dollar of assets. In 2019 and 2020, the ROA figures are 0.73% and 0.50%, respectively. The statement notes a drop in 2020, attributing it to the impact of COVID-19. This decline is consistent with the challenges faced by many financial institutions during the pandemic, where economic uncertainties affected profitability. However, in 2021, there is a recovery in ROA to 0.75%, and in 2022, it remains stable at 0.72%. This indicates that Trust Bank not only recovered from the impact of COVID-19 but also maintained a consistent level of profitability in the subsequent years.

It's excellent to hear that the bank's return on equity (ROE) has been consistent over time. Although there was a drop in 2020—clearly brought on by COVID-19—the bank recovered in 2021 and 2022 and kept its ROE stable. Return on equity (ROE) data show that Trust Bank has a bright future even with a fall in 2020. In 2018, Trust Bank's ROE was 15.14%, indicating that it generated a profit of 15.14 cents for every dollar of shareholders' equity. In 2019 and 2020, the ROE figures are 14.60% and 11.18%, respectively. The statement notes a drop in 2020, attributing it to the impact of COVID-19. This decline aligns with the challenges faced by many financial institutions during the pandemic, affecting their ability to generate returns for shareholders. However, in 2021, there is a recovery in ROE to 15.55%, and in 2022, it remains stable at 15.70%. This indicates that Trust Bank not only recovered from the impact of COVID19 but also maintained a consistent level of profitability in the subsequent years, providing a satisfactory return to its shareholders.

While it is evident that DTA experiences fluctuations over time, the statistics are ultimately declining, a negative sign for the bank that was brought on by COVID19. While the bank still has to address the situation, the fact that the DTA was on a stable site prior to COVID is positive. In 2018, Trust Bank's DTA ratio was 81.40%, indicating that 81.40% of its assets were funded by customer deposits. In the subsequent years (2019 and 2020), the DTA ratios are 82.07% and 80.47%, respectively, showing some fluctuations but remaining relatively close to the 2018 level. In 2021, there seems to be a discrepancy in the provided information ("2021 being 2021"), and the DTA ratio is not specified. In 2022, the DTA ratio is 77.23%.

The news that the bank's Loan to Deposit (LTD) has remained stable over time is quite encouraging. Undoubtedly due to COVID-19, the bank saw a decline in 2020; nevertheless, it rebounded in 2021 and 2022 and maintained a stable LTD. Despite a decline in 2020, Loan to Deposit (LTD) figures indicate that Trust Bank has a promising future. In 2018, Trust Bank's LTD ratio was 93.72%, indicating that loans constituted 93.72% of the bank's deposits. In the subsequent years (2019 and 2020), the LTD ratios are 87.08% and 77.79%, respectively, showing a decline. The statement attributes this decline to the impact of COVID-19, which is consistent with the challenges faced by many banks during the pandemic as lending activities were affected. In 2021, there is a rebound in the LTD ratio to 91.02%, and in 2022, it remains stable at 91.94%.
