This study ascertains the associations of the macroeconomic variables with external debts, the impacts of external debts on annual GDP, GDP growth, and per capita income, and the timing effects on the economic variables of Bangladesh. The analysis is inferential and eight hypotheses have been set and tested with the regression analysis. To complete the study, the chi-squared test and Durbin-Watson test have been used along with trends and growth analysis. The results of the study reveal that the budget deficit, current account deficit, and defense budget have a positive association with external debts. Furthermore, foreign direct investment, foreign exchange reserve, foreign remittance, and trade of balance have a negative association with external debts. The external debts have no negative impact on annual GDP, GDP growth, and per capita income. Finally, there is a significant timing effect on the economic variables of Bangladesh during the study period.

This study aims at examining the effect of liquidity management on the profitability of Bangladesh banks. To accomplish this objective, 32 banks of Bangladesh including second and third generation banks are taken as a sample. The secondary sources of data have been used for this study which are collected from the annual reports. Hausman specification test is run to identify the appropriate model which suggests that random effect model is suitable for this study. This study focuses on ROA, ROE and EPS as a denominator of profitability. Current ratio is found to have a positive impact on profitability of bank whereas capital adequacy ratio, interest rates are also found to be statistically significant for influencing the performance of the bank. Thus, this study suggests that proper management of liquidity will raise the profitability of the banks and the findings of this study will be helpful for the policy makers to solve the problems in respective field.
