An investigation of variation and impact of interest rate in commercial banks
after accession to the World Trade Organisation (WTO): The case study of
Republic of Tajikistan
after accession to the World Trade Organisation (WTO): The case study of
Republic of Tajikistan
ABSTRACT
This thesis extend the concept of liberalisation of financial market and investigation of variation
and impact of interest rate in commercial banks after accession to the World Trade Organisation
with the reference to case study of Republic of Tajikistan. The study focuses on identifying
whether financial liberalisation has an impact on performance of banking sector or not.
The current research is based on comparative analysis with existing financial liberalisation
approaches applied by numerous countries (Macit, 2017). A mix-method approach has been
implemented with deductive logical approach. This research enriches the literature on the
liberalisation of financial market of Tajikistan, as well as a neighbourhood countries that
implemented the WTO agreements on liberalisation of financial sector. Furthermore, McKinnon
and Shaw’s hypothesis research methodology is applied. Additionally, the data is analysed using
SPSS. Hypotheses are framed and tests are applied.
The research allocated qualitative and quantitative approaches which involved 150 non-
traditional respondents and 8 interviewers. The current research has its basis in a comparative
analysis and existing financial liberalisation approaches as applied by numerous countries
(Meredith, Mantel Jr and Shafer, 2017). Thus, for this research project, the most appropriate
research approach for the completion of the study is a deductive approach.
Limited research has been identified studies on the liberalisation of the financial market in
Tajikistan. But neither of the studies analysed the effect of the variations on interest rates in
commercial financial institutions. Some studies show that by trying to attract and implement
WTO legislation, this field has the potential to improve the investment climate.
The study has been based on considering the risks and issues in the banking practices while
making transaction entries as well as in generating revenue. Liberalisation would be fruitful for
the overall economy of Tajikistan and will initiate healthy growth in the banking sector and as
such, efficiencies will be gained. Commercial banks will be able to accomplish efficiency, and
customers would be served with better and superior services in an effective manner.

This will be a great source for a banking institutions in generating an adequate amount of capital
funds, in terms of considering the impacts of derivatives which limited to the downside earning
exposures, increases yield, preserves higher earning potential and reduces income/ capital
volatility (Tabit and Moussir, 2016).
Keywords: Investigation, Analysing, Economics, Finance, interest rates, Banks, Tajikistan.
