ABSTRACT
Deposit money banks (DMBs) roles make
them an important phenomenon in economic growth and development. This research
work set out to investigate interest rate spread and deposit money banks
profitability in Nigeria. The study employed multiple regression models using annual
data from 1981 to 2015.Results obtained shows that demand deposit by private
sector is statistically significant and a positive relationship with bank
profitability. Results equally show that domestic interbank claim is
statistically significant and has an inverse relationship with interest rate
spread in Nigeria. DMBs risk is very statistically significant and has inverse
relationship with bank profitability. Results also show that reserve fund
conforms to apriority expectation but it is not a significant factor affecting
interest rate spread in Nigeria. The policy implication of these findings are
that oversights regulations have to be strengthened, while high lending rate
has to be checked to keep loanable funds accessible as this would enhance DMBs
profitability level.
