Abstract

The study has inquired about the determinants liquidity risk and investment risk which are measured by liquid assets to deposit ratio and average interest spread respectively of Nepalese cooperative society. We did descriptive, correlation, and regression analysis of five year accounting data of 126 cooperatives of Kathmandu valley. The descriptive statistics show a huge gap between cooperatives with respect to size, earnings, activities, etc., and suggest that the cooperatives should be ranked and categorized according to their size so that a prompt regulation can be imposed to them. The significant positive correlation of deposit with variables such as investment, net earnings, size, liquid assets, interest earnings, interest expenses, etc. suggested deposit marketing is the most crucial instrument to build up size, to generate revenue and earnings, to increases the activities, etc. The finding from regression analysis show that the big sized cooperatives are lacking proper amount of liquidity, and suffering from liquidity risk. Moreover, the finding also suggests that strong permanent capital base have significant positive influence on adequate liquidity of the cooperatives. Similarly, cooperatives having higher credit to deposit ratio have liquidity deficit. The spread model suggests that cooperative bearing higher amount of investment risk are utilizing its assets efficiently, and holding an adequate amount of long term source of fund. Similarly, a big sized cooperative has abided with lower degree of investment risk.
