Using bank level data this paper analyzes the profitability of commercial banks in Pakistan over the period from 2006 to 2009 using an empirical framework.

We found that net interest income and provisioning against infected advances have negative relationship with profitability while non-markup income and number of employees (human capital) have positive association with the profitability of selected commercial banks. The most influential variable in our study is human capital which increases about 40 percent profitability of selected banks.
