Abstract: Abstract Liquidity risk and credit risk are considered the two main sources of banking risk. This paper is an attempt to investigate their interconnectedness and impact on solvency performance banks. Using panel data of 42 public and private commercial banks in India over the period 2010–2019, we find that a bank’s liquidity as well as asset quality positions strongly influence its financial soundness (measured in terms of Z-solvency score). Further, bank size, capital positions, and income diversification are the significant drivers of a bank’s solvency performance. Our empirical results reveal that Basel 3 norms implementation by the Reserve Bank of India has strengthened the liquidity situation and the financial stability of Indian banks. We argue that it is essential for commercial banks to manage their credit risk and liquidity risk more proactively to remain financially solvent.
