1.1Comparative analysis of The
microfinancing industry of Sri Lanka.
Comparative
analysis is a better analysis for understing or examine the factors .reaseacher
used this comparative analysis for
understanding the relationship of factors and compare to each companies. Blow
the the figure(seeTab 3.1) shows that number of companies and their number of
branchers. as per the efficiency result department cooperative societies has
les efficiency comparing with other companies and also this comparative analysis can help to examine the result .
Above the figure(seeTab
3-1) releavel that department of cooperative societies have huge numbers of
branches all of the district in srilanka. As per the result its showing
cooperative societies have number of branches
above 2150 from 2013 to 2017. Cooperative rural bank is one of the olderest
micro finance institution in srilanka also one of the wider finance provider in srilanka. Secondly
got place high place for samurdthi authority, its has approximately 1000 branches
in all of the district in srilanka. samudhi also one of the olderest micro
fiancé institution in srilanka.third and fourth
are department of agrarian development and regional bank nearly 1000 and
500 branches .lankaputhra bank has only 8 branches in srilnka. Comparing the
all companies with number of branches cooparative societies and samurdhi banks
are very large amout of branches and srilanka
Below the figure(seeTab3-2) shows that number of deposit line chart ,
here the horizontal axes is represended
by years as a number and vertical axes
is represended by amount of deposit number
Above the
line chart (seeFig3-2) shows that
samurdhi bank has the top in the end of year as number of deposit , they
have above 14,000,000 deposit in all of
the district in the end of the year 2017. Here also shows that samurdhi bank
has 8,528,862 in the year of 2013 then
declined in the 2015 as 4,234,029
after 2013 can see samurdhi bank rapidly increasing and the end of the year of
2017 above 14,000,000 in total deposit
in all of the destrict. Secondly here chat shows that cooperative banks are
slightly increasing their number of deposit all the disctric of in srilanka.
Nearly 2013 in 8000,000 and 2017 in 10,000,000. Thirdly regional development
bank slightly getting more their number of deposit in all destric in srilanka.
Nearly 4500,000 to 6200,000 in year of 2013 and 2017. Lankaputhra development
company got number of deposit in 2013 that 175 with 4 branches after that
branchers increased as 8 also custmobers deposit also increased.then agrarian
bank shows that their customers number of deposit increasing from 2013 to 2017
that 33000 from nearly 700,000. Most of the companies their number of deposit
depending on their number of branches. overall this number of deposit
comparative analysis result shows that samurdhi
bank has more number of deposits than others companies secondly cooperative
societies.
Below the figure(seeTab3-3)
shows that deposit chart , here the horizontal axes is represended by years as a
number and vertical axes is represended
by deposi
Above
the chart(seeFig3-3) presended that totals deposit in (Mn) and years. Here the
indicated are shows that cooperative development bank has higher total amount
of deposit in 2013 . its 152,610
after that indicated shows that got down in 2014 then slightly increasing and
in the end of the study year in 113,387 deposits (Mn). Samurdhi authority and reginal
developmenttbanks statistis indicates that both banks are dramatically increasing the deposits from 2013 to 2017 and
specially regional development bank has 62,647 total deposit amount in 2013
then dramatically increasing finally in the end of study year got 136,582 and
also the samurdhi authority banks has good result in 2013 to 2017 . here the
satistic shows that 2013 in 45,848 then dramatically increasing and the end of
the 2017 in 87,407. and lankathra bank and department of agrarian development
bank also have good sign from 2013 to 2017 . overall this total deposit amount
indicates are shows that reginal development bank have very good efficiency and samurdhi, lankaputhra, agrarian bank,
also have better situation but cooperative societies have huge impact after
2013.
Below the figure(seeFig3-3) shows
that number of deposit line chart , here the
horizontal axes is represended by years as a number and vertical axes is represended by number of the
borrowers. Generally there should be the
possive relationship with size of the companies and others factors like if the companies has more branches then
they should have more number of deposit and number of borrowers ,in the aspect
of this can come up to the conclusion lankaputhra bank, agrarian banks and
regional and bnaks are more efficiency like like they have medium
branches even they are more effectiveness .the statistic indicates that they
are maximum utilizing input factors to
get output results.below the chart show the
each companies of number of borrowers all the disctrict of the srilanka.
Above the chart
shows that samurdhi bank in earlier they have more borrowers then got down.all
and other companies have same level between the 500,000 to 1500,000 borrowers
in the end of the years . as per the result
we can see that lankaputhra bank, regional bank , agrarian bank and samudhi
bank are more efficiency because they use the input factors efficiency and
cooperative societies have not use the input factors efficiently.
Below the figure(seeFig3-4) shows
that loan portfolio line chart , here the
horizontal axes is represended by years as a number and vertical axes is represended by loan
portfolio
As the chart
reveals that according the size of companies as a samurdhu bank and department of cooperative socities has
less efficiency comparing others bank , specially cooperative bank has huge
amount of branches even throuth their loan portfolio has showing that average
percentage its means they didn’t use the input factors to get the output
results.at the same time lankaputhra bank , regional bank, agrarian banks are
more efficiency because they use the input factors efficiently .
Above the chart (seeFig3-5) loan
portfolio shows that companies output factors efficiency, as per the overall
factors results agrarian bank, lankaputhra bank, and regional bank have DEA
efficiency score equal to 1 , its means
they are ultilizing their input factors to get output result. Samurdhi bank
also nearly to the equalt to 1 , but the department of cooperative development
have less DEA efficiency because changing the input and output factors could
impact on the company efficiency.
According
to the companrative analysis shows that cooperative societies only the micro
finance in srilanaka institution and as per the DEA result show the cooperative
department has less efficiency and to get more understand researcher carried
out the cooperative department statistic analysis. Below the figures shows that cooperative department net profit s and
total income statistic, that would also more support to the reseach conclusion.below
the total income of cooperative department proved that they do not have proper total income . total
income of cooperative societies has illustrated the year of 2013 to 2017 and
the study year proved that cooperative societies have fluctuate with total
income .below the figure(seeFig3-6) shows that department of cooperative have
total income 161.6 in 2013 the increased by the 5 percentage then dropped it
dowm for the 2 years then in the 2017 was increased by 181.3. overall this
cooperative department total income statistic report shows that company has
fluctuate with total income and 2017 can see that company has 181.3 (Mm) total
income , it was the highest value of all of the year.
Below the
figure (seeFig3-7) shows that net profit of the cooperative income, this
satistic shows that cooperative rural bank has decreased net profit during the
2013 to 2015 then 2015 to 2017 can see the improvement.

Conclusion of The microfinancing
industry of Sri Lanka.
The focus of this research paper is to
determine the factors which could evaluate the efficiency of microfinance. We
have determined & evaluated the indicators of financial and social
performances of these MFIs. The scope of this study has focused on
micro-financial industry of Sri Lanka. Over
a period of time, different institutions have been established in many
countries to provide microfinance. The purpose of these institutes is to
generate opportunities for poor households by delivering them short & long
term loans and arrangement of securities against their credits. Many lending
model groups have been created and tested in different countries to evaluate
the efficiency of microfinance. The focus of the present study was to find out
the key factors which affect micro-financing and determining the efficiency of
institutes in Sri Lanka The sample of the present study was taken from five
banks Regional development bank, Cooperative rural bank, Samurdhi Authority,
Department of Agrarian and Lankaputhra development bank. The data is collected
from the annual reports of the organizations. The data employment analysis
(DEA) was done for technical analysis. The researcher identified three inputs
(Deposit, Number of deposit and number of branches) and two outputs (number of
Borrowers and Loan Portfolio). The DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) model was
used for the construction of and measurement of efficiency score. The results of descriptive statistic
correlation values of input and output factors showed positive relationship
with passing of year. Results reported that p value is less than .05. It
explained the significant relationship between the correlation three inputs
(Deposit, Number of deposit and number of branches) and two outputs (number of
Borrowers and Loan Portfolio.
The results findings of the present research
revealed that the influence of the number of borrowers on loan portfolios (Mn).
The number of borrowers showed strong relation with loan portfolio (Mn) in 2013
and 2015 whereas weak relationship was measured in 2014, 2016 and 2017. It
means that loan portfolio (Mn) was more influenced by number of borrowers in
2013 and 2015 as compared to 2014, 2016, 2017. The comparative results have
revealed that cooperative societies have huge numbers of branches all of the
district in Sri Lanka. As per the result its shows cooperative societies have the
number of branches above 2150 from 2013 to 2017. The cooperative rural bank is
one of the older microfinance institutions in Sri Lanka also one of the wider
finance providers in Sri Lanka.
Secondly got place high place for Samurdthi
authority, it has approximately 1000 branches in all of the districts in Sri Lanka.
Samudhi also one of the older micro fiancé institutions in Sri Lanka. Third and
fourth are department of agrarian development and regional bank nearly 1000 and
500 branches .Lankaputhra bank has only 8 branches in Sri Lanka. Comparing all
companies with number of branches, cooperative societies and samurdhi banks are
very large amount of branches and Sri Lanka. Loan portfolio (Mn) has positive relationship of correlation coefficient
with hypothesis, its means if the loan portfolio is increasing also efficiency
(TE) increased, other input factors are the number of deposit, deposit, shows
that size of the deposit and size of the number of deposit has no impact on
efficiency.
DEA analysis compares the relativity
efficiency of the organization for an example in a company efficiency factor
can consider as input and output, input are such as staffs, assets, branches,
operating expenses and output factors are such as sales volume and revenue
those efficiency factors are taking to the one model and calculating the
organization efficiency. The DEA Analysis have shown that Cooperative development
has lower efficiency. The reason behind lower efficiency of the bank is the
change in the input and output factors of the corporation. When the input &
output factors experience rapid change, then the efficiency of the organization
decline.
In the study the cooperative development’s
total income and net profit have been analysed to understand why cooperative
development’s efficiency is lower. The results have revealed that the total
income & net profit of the organization which is output factors have
experienced fluctuation in the period of 2013 to 2017. As discussed earlier the
change in the factors has impact on the efficiency of the organization and that
is why the efficiency of the corporation declined. If the output factors
experienced stability in the specified period than the results might be
different because continuous growth in net income indicates higher efficiency.
Now if the inputs factors are analysed such
as number of branches than it can be seen that the Cooperative development have
the highest number of branches than all the other microfinance institution. The
results of correlation coefficient test reveal that there is a negative
relationship between the number of branches and the efficiency of the
institution. The higher will be the number of branches, the lower will be the
efficiency of the institution. As Cooperative development has the highest
number of branches than other microfinance institutions, its efficiency is also
lower as a result, and the correlation coefficient test results confirm that.
The reason for failure of the cooperative
development is that the cooperative development has huge number of branches. In
Sri Lanka Cooperative development bank is the one which has the largest number
of branches. As discussed earlier the number of branches have negative
relationship with the efficiency. As cooperative development has high number of
branches it efficiency declines which become the main reason for the failure of
the institution. Furthermore the loan portfolio has also lowered which
decreases the efficiency and become another reason for the failure of the
cooperative development.
