Abstract
This paper examined the bank-specific determinants for commercial bank’s liquidity in Namibia. The
study was based on quarterly data covering the period 2001:Q1 to 2014:Q2, utilizing the technique of unit root and
ordinary least squares. The results of the unit root test showed that all variable were stationary in levels and thus,
the ordinary least squares technique was used to conduct the estimation. The results revealed a statistical
insignificant negative relationship between commercial bank’s liquidity and return on equity as a measure of
commercial bank’s profitability. Furthermore, the results also showed a positive relationship between commercial
bank’s liquidity and capital adequacy as well as between commercial bank’s liquidity and non-performing loans
though statistical insignificant.
