| dc.description.abstract | The research explores how mergers and acquisitions (M&A) affect the financial performance of banks in Nepal, with a specific focus on Global IME Bank Ltd and NMB Bank. M&A activities are a recent development in Nepal, aimed at enhancing the efficiency of the banking sector and rebuilding public trust. This research aims to evaluate the effects of M&A on various financial metrics, including return on assets, return on equity, earnings per share, and market value per share. By analyzing secondary data from the annual reports of the two banks, the study compares pre-merger and post-merger financial performance over a period of eight years. Key findings suggest that while M&A activities have led to a more stable and efficient banking environment, the financial performance improvements are mixed. Global IME Bank showed a modest reduction in earnings per share variability post-merger, whereas NMB Bank experienced increased variability and a moderate decrease in mean earnings per share. Both banks witnessed a decrease in return on equity post-merger, indicating a potential area for strategic focus. This research contributes to the understanding of M&A impacts in the Nepali banking sector, providing valuable insights for policymakers, investors, and banking professionals. The findings underscore the importance of strategic planning and effective integration processes to maximize the benefits of M&A activities in developing countries like Nepal. | |
