EFFECTS OF BANK DISTRESS ON THE SAVING HABITS OF THE RURAL DWELLERS
ABSTRACT
This study looked into the “Effect of Bank Distress on the Saving Habits of Rural Dwellers” and looked into the causes and characteristics of bank distress in the Nigerian economy.
As the researchers gathered data for this study, they read a large amount of related literature. The process of changing bank notes in 1984 required individuals to go scores of mills to change their money and also made them realise
that they need banks nearby constant cry for the extension of bank branches to their locations in distant communities where banking habits were poorly developed.
The impact of bank distress on the economy, on the other hand, includes a loss of public trust, particularly among rural residents, in putting their money in banks.
CHAPTER ONE: THE EFFECTS OF BANK DISTRESS ON RURAL DWELLERS’ SAVING HABITS 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
A bank is an organisation whose primary function is to accumulate temporarily idle money from the general public for the purpose of advancing to others for expenditures.
A bank, according to John Page, is “any corporation or person(s) that accepts money on current account, pays cheques on such account on demand, and collects cheques for customers.”
A bank, according to the Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary, is an organisation or a location that provides financial services or a location where something is stored ready for use.
Modern banking in Nigeria dates back to the colonial era, when the African Banking Corporation was created in 1892 to distribute Bank of England currency notes for the British Treasury.
Subsequent developments were aided by colonial trade. Nigerians entered the banking business late in order to meet the credit needs of indigenous firms, first through private individual initiatives and then through deliberate government policy.
The problem of financial distress, including outright bank failure, has been noted in Nigeria since 1930, when the first bank failure was documented. Between 1930 and 1958, when the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) was established, over 21 bank failures were recorded.
However, the degree of intensity and scope of the distress has never been as severe as it has been since June 1989, when a government directive to withdraw deposits of government and other public sector institutions from banks and deposit them with the CBN exposed the poor financial condition of most financial institutions, and the severity of the problem has progressively been used here.
The distressed state has been linked to a variety of factors, some of which are listed in the literature review. When anguish entered the scene, rural inhabitants’ banking habits were negatively influenced by anxieties of losing funds to banks.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
With the wave of distress spreading in the finance companies, community banks, and primary mortgage institutions, a total of 24 banks were distressed in 1933, compared to 10 in 1992, 31 finance houses were in default of malures obligations,
456 complaints were lodged against 156 finance companies for non-resumption of matured funds, but total assets and liabilities of 395 finance firms stood at N13.38 billion in 1993, compared to N2.44 billion reported for the preceding year (1992).
THE SATISFACTION WAS DUE TO THE FOLLOWINGS
1. Prevalence of economic slump, policy-induced shock
Asset quality is poor and detonating as a result of a significant portfolio of non-performing credits and non-maintenance of assets and liabilities.
2. Poor management focusing on harsh practise and a lack of experience, which is the most important issue related with rural bank hardship.
3. Ineffective, inefficient, and poor performance of the financial sector in its responsibility of promoting and supporting rural economic development.
The subject discussed above piqued the researchers’ curiosity, prompting them to do research in the area.
1.3 OBJECTIVE OF STUDY
The researcher will attempt to ascertain the following under the purpose of study, which is also known as the objectives of study.
1. What exactly is bank distress?
2. How it has changed rural residents’ banking habits.
3. The sources of bank difficulty.
4. To educate rural residents on the importance of putting their money in banks.
5. Determine the percentage of commercial banks in rural areas.
6. To promote and ensure successful rural savings.
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTION
1. What exactly is bank distress?
2. What are the root reasons of bank distress?
3. How does bank hardship affect rural residents’ savings habits?
4. What can be done to avoid bank distress?
5. How should rural residents be educated about the need of saving money?
1.5 THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The researcher has some major beneficiaries while examining the influence of bank distress on the saving habits of rural inhabitants, which include the following:
a. THE BANKING SECTION:- From the work, the management should know the damages and distress that are producing the bank inhabitants’ perceptions of savings in the bank. This will cause management to take a seat and define managerial policies capable of phasing out incidents of bank distress.
b. THE RURAL DWELLERS: Their advantage is indirect; it does not directly appeal to them because suffering has an effect on their saving habit.
Bank distress will be eliminated in order for the bank to thrive, therefore the advantage that the banks receive (such as repairing the management in order to restore confidence, safety, and area) will have a direct influence on them.
They will see it for themselves; folks in rural areas will save their money in banks and withdraw it whenever they wish. They will calm the rural dweller’s fears and energise their desire to deposit their money in banks. This is due to the strong comments and suggestions given in this book.
c. ACADEMICAL INSTITUTION:- This work is pertinent to the institution and the students studying management sciences. Some copies of this work will be retained in the institution library for following researchers for additional study references, particularly those in banking and finance, in the sense that it will increase their literacy review goals.
d. THE GENERAL PUBLIC:- It is also important to everyone, including investors, public libraries, and research institutions, where copies of this work will be kept and the general public can go and get copies, read, and now know what is going on in rural areas pertaining to their banking habits.
e. INVESTOR: The study allays investors’ anxieties of saving in the bank due to distress since investors do not want to lose the little they have with the bank.
f. PUBLIC LIBRARIES: This work will improve their supply of books for researcher study needs.
g. RESEARCH INSTITUTES:- It is important to researcher institutes since they retain those research works for future research by researchers.
