INTRODUCTION

Background of the study

Distress in the financial sector is a situation where financial institution has more liabilities than the value of their assets in the market. This can result to portfolio shifts which eventually cause the collapse of the financial system. Bank distress is many times confused with bank failure. In theory, these two terms are different. Bank distress comes before a bank failure. A distressed bank can recover whereas a failed bank has no chance of recovery.

Bank distresses have various unfavorable consequences which among them are on stakeholders and failure of banks. Sometimes the effects are felt by other sectors in the whole economy.

In the development of a nation, we cannot under estimate the important role of the banking sector and its financial way of doing things. In economic planning, banks and   financial institutions play a very significant role which is
