| dc.description.abstract | This study was carried out to examine the relationship between interest rates, inflation rate, exchange rate, income distribution and financial performance, in relation to customer loans within commercial banks in Uganda. The researcher focused on the savings mobilization by commercial banks in Uganda and the impact of macro-economic factors on customer’s demand and deposits. A longitudinal design was developed to compile secondary data from; Bank of Uganda reports, Uganda Bureau of Statistics, World bank annual reports, Uganda Institute of Bankers’ library, and Ministry of finance Publications, among others from 2001 — 2005. The data was analyzed using the SPSS package and Pearson’s correlation Co-efficient, which measured the strengths and direction between the independent and dependent variables The findings showed that due to the high risks commercial banks encounter in extending loans to the private sector, there was a decline in retaliation of their assets over the five years. The results showed a positive significant relationship between exchange rate, interest rate, access to finance, and loans availed to customers between 2001 and 2005. The results also showed a high relationship between the risks and financial performance of the commercial banks. The study concluded that high interest rates, exchange rates, lack of collateral securities and inflation have a significant role in accessing loans. Commercial banks should concentrate on these variables and other incentives to woe customer access to credit for long term financing. The study therefore recommended that for banks to avail credit facilities to their customers, the banks should ensure that the customers have fixed assets and equity securities. | en_US |
