| Summary: | The study examined the effects of corporate financing and risk management in the
banking sector in East Africa during and Post Covid-19 tapping on evidence from
the Kabale district in Uganda. It was guided by specific objectives, the effect of
Bonds on risk management in the banking sector during and post COVID-19, the
effect of treasury bills on risk management in the banking sector during and post
COVID-19, and the effect of debt management on risk management in the banking
sector during and post COVID-19. A descriptive research design was adopted in this
research. Both primary and secondary data were used in this study. The population
of the study was 97 technical staff. Purposive and random sampling techniques were
applied in the study. Data was collected from 78 staff of selected commercial banks
in the Kabale district using a structured questionnaire. Both correlation and
regression analysis were used. The study revealed that the board of directors set
strategies on bond issuance and were effectively communicated within the bank in
the form of policies and procedures by the top management (M =4.2, SD = 0.34).
The findings showed that the bank has set in place principles of short-term crediting
(M = 4.6, SD = 0.32). The bank undertakes regular monitoring of the total value of
gross daily payments made and received (M = 4.8, SD = 0.18). Involves
identification of existing sources of treasury bills as well as treasury bills that may
arise from new business products or activities (M = 4.7, SD = 0.30). The average
lessons undertaken was (M = 4.3, SD = 0.13). Debt management was also
implemented by the banking sector. It was reported that the debt management efforts
of the bank were supported by senior Management (M = 4.2, SD = 0.42). It was also
revealed that the management efforts of the institution were well communicated to
them (M = 4.2, SD = 0.18). There is a need to set up strong structures for the
management of corporate financing in order to enhance risk management in the
banking sector. |
