Abstract: Social networks have invaded our world and changed the way we communicate. Even the financial world has turned to social media, with Twitter leading the way. As a result, social media is becoming an undeniable tool that affects the stock market. In this study, we consulted the articles published on the facebook page ilboursa of Tunis. The published articles contain an announcement of the news of the movements of the shares of the listed companies by using negative and positive words. Our database is composed by a manual counting of these qualitative verbal information. We used the list of words of the psychological dictionary "Harvard-IV-4". Our research focuses on 26 Tunisian financial companies listed on the Tunis Stock Exchange, over a one-year horizon, from 01 January 2015 until 31 December 2015. We used the GMM (Generalized Method of Moment) on dynamic panel. The generalized method of moments analyzes two models in which five days of delay of the dependent variable appear as explanatory variable. The results of the study are twofold. First, the Tunis stock exchange seems to react positively to positive qualitative information. Second, it reacts negatively to negative qualitative information. Among other things, the impact of stock returns on information is quite important. It is always necessary to master the tool of social networks to disseminate good and relevant qualitative financial information on the financial market.

Research has shown that banks take advantage of crossboarder activities to improve and increase their earnings and ultimately increase shareholders’ wealth maximization motive of the banks. There have been divergent results and opinions on the impact of banks’ foreign operations on the total performance of the banks. Consequently, in contributing to knowledge, this study examined the effect of internationalization on earnings per share in Deposit Money Banks in slected African countries. This research examined the impact of internationalization on earnings per share in deposit money banks in Nigeria, South Africa and Kenya between 2007 and 2021 using expo facto research design. Purposive sampling technique was employed to select seventeen deposit money banks out of a population of seventy-one banks that had international operations authorization licences in the selected countries. Secondary dat were extracted from the published annual financial statements of the selected banks. The data were considered valid and reliable because of the independent opinions expressed on them by the various external auditors. The data were ananlysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The result obtained from the multiple regression analysis suggested that internationalization exhibited a significant effect on earnings per share, (Ad jR2 = 0.0145; F(5, 249) = 23.54; p<0.05). In addition, exchange rate significantly controlled the effect of internationalization on earnings per share (Adj. R2 = 0.0285; F(6, 248) = 13.14; p<0.05. The study concluded that internationalization affected earnings per share in DMBs in selected African countries. The study therefore recommended that investors should be concerned and carefully evaluate the reasons for the banks going international. Also, policymakers, financial regulators and the government should not be in a haste approving internationalization banking authorizations to banks, when huge opportunities still subsist in the domestic level.

To test whether there is an impact on the profitability of the NBFIs in Rwanda, the correlation between inventory management policy and profitability and the correlation analysis between lending policy and profitability were used. Working capital has been found to have a significant relationship with profitability. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that working capital is a positive, significant predictor of profitability. The findings of the study suggested that there is a positive and significant relationship between credit policy and profitability.

Enterprise risk management has significant effect on Net profit margin, Adj.R2 = 0.1791, F (7, 172) = 142.80, P < 0.05).

Abstract: Considering the new wave of discussion on the expenses made during electoral periods in democratic governments in specialized literature, in which governments stimulate the economy in election years to prospect votes and stay in power, concentrating greater spending on media actions to influence voters in choosing their vote, this study explores the Political Budget Cycles (PBC) and their contributions during the presidential election period, in the governments of the Americas from 1990 to 2019, with the objective of identifying the impact on spending on education (SU), health (HEA), national security (NS), transportation and communication (TC), as well as on the budget deficit (BD), budget surplus (BS), gross domestic product (GDP), human development index (HDI), and unemployment rate (UR). This was done using the random effects statistical method of tobit regression for pooled panel data on expenditures incurred in the 37 American countries. The results are robust and diverge from other studies, as also show that the investigated expenditures do not undergo significant changes in the election period, as suggested by other studies, and that the presence of Political Budget Cycles in democratic countries contributes positively to the economic and human development of these countries located in the Americas.

Abstract: The Board of Directors (BoD) is a company's highest executive body and the entity responsible for strategic decision-making and representation. The board of directors of a company can have an impact on the formulation of business and investment strategies, policies, and performance. In addition to examining the CEO power's moderating impact on the association between board independence and financial performance of listed non-financial companies in Sub-Saharan Africa, this study also investigated the relationship between board dynamics and corporate performance. Since the study used an ex post facto research design, secondary sources were used to collect the data. All listed non-financial firms in Sub-Saharan Africa made up the study's population. The study found a positive but non-significant link between board size, board independence, and CEO power and firm financial performance utilising financial statement statistics and exploratory factors in a regression model. The study's findings also suggest that the CEO's influence reduces the association between board independence and corporate financial performance. Therefore, the study draws the conclusion that board dynamics affects the corporate financial performance of listed non-financial corporations in Sub-Saharan Africa. It also makes several recommendations, such that companies adopt a manageable board size in order to enhance corporate financial performance.

Abstract: Commercial banks are the most important depository organizations that provide loan and advance in developing country. The objective of this study was to provide empirical evidence on determinants of banks’ loan and advances in Ethiopia. Fixed effect balanced panel regression was used for the data of ten purposively chosen commercial banks over the period of 12 years (2010 to 2021). To realize the stated objective quantitative approach and explanatory design were employed using secondary data sources from the audited financial statement. Consequently bank specific, industry specific and macro-economic variable that affect banks’ loan were selected and analyzed by using E-view 10 econometrics software. According to the findings, capital adequacy, liquidity ratio, bank size, and foreign exchange rate all have a positive and statistically significant impact on bank loans. Profitability ratios, cash reserve ratios, and broad money supply, on the other hand, has a negative and statistically significant impact on bank lending. While fixed asset ratio, asset quality ratio, and GDP were found to have statistically insignificant effects on the bank’s loans and advances. The regression result indicated that Profitability, cash reserve requirements, and broad money supplies all have negative effects. Therefore Ethiopian commercial banks and NBE must pay close attention and control for those variables to be able advancing banks’ loan.
