'Financial Analysis Models of Commercial Banks' presents comprehensive account of various financial parameters, analytical framework and models relating to commercial banks. It analyses three important financial aspects of solvency, profitability and liquidity of commercial banks from the view point of external stakeholders, viz., shareholders, depositors and lenders. One important feature of the study is the inclusion of private sector commercial banks in the analysis and model building. The study not only develops some new ratios/variables but also identifies the critical variables with respect to each of the three aspects by using the techniques of multiple discriminant analysis (MDA). The book gives a new perspective to financial analysis of commercial banks and is specifically meant for financial analysts, professional bankers, policy makers, researchers, academicians, and students of finance and banking alike.
