The Romanian Economic Journal, 2013
This study has been carried out with the aim to investigate the impact of the bank specific variables: Asset size , Credit Risk , Total deposits to total assets ratio, and macroeconomic indicator : interest rate( Discount rate) on the profitability measures, ROE and ROA of commercial banks in Pakistan during the period of 2006-2010.. There are two measures of profitability Return on equity (ROE) & Return on assets (ROA). All 32 commercial banks were selected and by using regression the results show that there is a significant impact of bank specific variables( asset size, total deposits to total assets, credit risk )and macroeconomic indicator (interest rate) on ROE and credit risk and interest rate have also a significant impact on ROA.

The aim of this study is to examine the bank-specific and macroeconomic determinants of the banks profitability in Turkey over the time period from 2002 to 2010. The bank profitability is measured by return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) as a function of bank-specific and macroeconomic determinants. Using a balanced panel data set, the results show that asset size and non-interest income have a positive and significant effect on bank profitability. However, size of credit portfolio and loans under follow-up have a negative and significant impact on bank profitability. With regard to macroeconomic variables, only the real interest rate affects the performance of banks positively. These results suggest that banks can improve their profitability through increasing bank size and non-interest income, decreasing credit/asset ratio. In addition, higher real interest rate can lead to higher bank profitability.
Factors Influencing the Profitability of EU Banks’ Before and During the Financial Crisis
İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi, 2016
This research aims at examining the effect of credit risk on financial performance of the EU banks. Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE) which are dependent variables were used as financial performance indicators. Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Non-Performing Loan (NPL), Loan Loss Provision (LLP) and Loan to Debt (LTD) which are independent variables were used as credit risk indicators. This study concludes that Return on Asset and Return on Equity both has been found to have significant effect on profitability. Capital Adequacy Ratio positively impacted banks' financial performance with the exception of Non-Performing Loan and Loan Loss Provision which were found to have a negative impact on the banks' profitability. Also, Loan to Debt generally was not significant to explain EU banks' profitability. Shortly, EU banks profitability has been affected positively with better credit risk of these banks. Additionally, credit risk committees should take Inflation and Gross Domestic Product level into account. While Gross Domestic Product level had a negative impact on EU banks' profitability, Inflation had a positive effect on the EU banks' profitability.

This paper examines the role of macro and microeconomic determinants in bank profitability in the EU-27. To identify how defined variables can affect profitability, a regression model was constructed with a multicollinearity condition, with multicollinearity below the defined value. Data were collected based on 3,257 bank balance sheets and the World Bank and ORBIS Bank Focus databases. Based on a literature review, we have stated that the bank sector profitability is measured by Net Interest Margin (NIM), Return on Average Assets (ROAA), and Return on Average Equity (ROAE) as dependent variables. The statistical model showed no acceptable solution for Return on Average Equity. Four allowable solutions were found for the profitability of average assets and six solutions for net interest margin. Lastly, the results indicate a clear effect of rising inflation on increasing bank interest rates, and therefore higher interest margins. A healthy economy, also characterized by a growing GD...
Bank specific determinants of EU banks profitability after 2007 financial crisis
Management, 2020
The basic purpose of the paper is to research determinants on profitability indicators of the banks in the European Union. Analysed bank profitability indicators considered as a standard are: the return on total bank assets (ROA) and return on total bank equity (ROE). The research model of bank profitability determinants is developed by analysing the systemically important, quoted banks in the European Union, in the 2007–2019 period, by using an adequate panel data analysis technique. The empirical evidence is in line with the initial assumptions: the efficiency of the banking firm, measured by the cost to income ratio and the non-performing loans ratio, has a significant influence on bank profitability, both on ROA and ROE. In the post-crisis period, banking firms ask for efficient cost management in achieving performance objectives. Additional important empirical results of research are the absence of impact of assets size and regulatory capital ratio on profitability indicators. ...
Bank-specific, industry-specific and macroeconomic determinants of bank profitability
Journal of International …, 2008
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of bank-specific, industry-specific and macroeconomic determinants of bank profitability, using an empirical framework that incorporates the traditional Structure-Conduct-Performance (SCP) hypothesis. To account for profit persistence, we apply a GMM technique to a panel of Greek banks that covers the period 1985-2001. The estimation results show that profitability persists to a moderate extent, indicating that departures from perfectly competitive market structures may not be that large. All bank-specific determinants, with the exception of size, affect bank profitability significantly in the anticipated way. However, no evidence is found in support of the SCP hypothesis. Finally, the business cycle has a positive, albeit asymmetric effect on bank profitability, being significant only in the upper phase of the cycle.
Performance and Profitability analysis in the banking industry
The banking sector in Nigeria have continuously struggled to make their shareholders happy by justifying the confidence reposed in them through better performance and high profit margins. But the low performance of the banking sector in Nigeria over the last decade has remained a big concern. This study explores the link between bank size, capital ratio, operating expenses, interest rate and the economic situation of the country on the banking sector profitability and performance in Nigeria. The ordinary least square regression model was employed on time-series data obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin (1981-2012). The results confirm that the bank size, capital ratio, operating expenses, interest rate and the economic situation of the country have statistically significant effects on banks’ profitability and performance in Nigeria. Thus, government policies in the banking sector must encourage banks to regularly raise their capital and provide the enabling environment that will accelerate overall development in the country. Bank management must efficiently manage their portfolios in order to protect the long run interest of profit-making.
The intended aim of study is to identify the influence of bank specific and macroeconomic factors on profitability of commercial banks in Pakistan over the period of 2007 to 2011. Return on assets and return on equity are used as dependent variable. Deposit to assets, bank size, capital ratio, net interest margin and nonperforming loans to total advances are utilized as bank specific measures. Inflation, real gross domestic product and industry production growth rate are macroeconomic factors. By employing descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis researcher conclude that bank size, net interest margin, and industry production growth rate has positive and significant impact on the ROA and ROE. Nonperforming loans to total advances and inflation have negative significant impact on Return on assets while real gross domestic product has positive impact on ROA. Capital ratio has positive significant impact on ROE.
Determinants of bank profitability before and during the crisis: Evidence from Switzerland
Journal of International Financial Markets, Institutions and Money, 2011
This paper examined the factors of profitability and as we know the main components of banks profitability is measured by the return on average asset and return on average equity. Moreover, this research examined to find the relationship between profitability and its determinants in Bangladesh context during recession and Pre-recession. Some others external and internal factors also considered to measure the banking profitability of bank. Return on average asset (ROAA) is considered as a dependent variable and which is the measurement of profitability in this study, whether, independent variables are divided into two segments: those are bank-specific characteristics (internal factors) such as-Equity Over Total Assets (ETA), Cost-Income Ratio (CIR), Loan Loss Provisions Over Total Loans (LLPOTL), Yearly Growth Of Deposits (YGD), Net Interest Income Over Net Income (NII) and industry-specific characteristics (external factors) such as-Effective Tax Rate (ETR), Real GDP Growth (RGG), Treasury Bonds (TBDiff), Inflation Growth (IG). To conduct the research the data for pre-crisis period (2002-2006) and, on the contrary, during crisis situation (2007-2008) was taken. The results show that bank-specific (internal) and market-specific (external) factors have influence on bank profitability, but macroeconomic factors do not.
An empirical analysis of the determinants of the U.S. banks’ profitability
Banks and Bank Systems, 2021
This study investigates the determinants of the profitability of U.S. banks. Employing quarterly data, this paper further examines the historical and recent trends for all U.S. banks from 1996 to 2019 in the relationship between return and assets (ROA) and other bank internal (or endogenous) profitability contributors such as net interest margin (NIM), loan loss reserves, ratio of non-performing loans to gross loans, and external (or exogenous) macroeconomic variables, such as the 30-year average mortgage rate, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) economic growth rate, unemployment rate, interest rate, inflation rate and openness (i.e., exports + imports/GDP) by using the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator technique. The results reveal that bank-specific variables, including net interest margin, loan loss reserves and non-performing loans, have a significant impact on bank profitability in the United States. Similarly, the results show that macroeconomic variables, namely the ave...
