banks in Nepal by analyzing quarterly report of five development banks selected on the
basis of their total assets from the fiscal year 2071/72 to 2075/76. The objective of this

performance indicators of development banks. Descriptive statistic unveil that average
CDR is 75.77 which is .77 above the international standard of 75. Multiple regression
