This study examines the influence of bank-specific and macroeconomic factors on commercial banks profitability in Ghana. The study employed the ordinary least square regression model to analyse the data obtained from the annual financial statements of five commercial banks from 2010 to 2015. The empirical results suggest that bank size, liquidity, capital adequacy, asset management, expense management, and real interest rate are positively related to profitability. GDP growth and inflation rate on the other hand, are related negatively to profitability. However, only bank size, liquidity, and expense management have a significant effect on commercial banks profitability. It can be observed that commercial banks profitability in Ghana is largely determined by bank-specific factors, whereas macroeconomic factors have an insignificant impact on banks profitability for the period considered. Therefore, it is crucial for management of commercial banks in Ghana to efficiently manage the factors that contribute to their profitability in order to enhance superior performance.

This study has attempted to ascertain the factors affecting to non-performing loans in Nepalese commercial banks using a sample of ten commercial banks for the period of 2013-2017 with 50 observations, a balanced set of panel data. The descriptive and causal comparative research designs have been adopted for the study. The dependent variable was non-performing loans, while independent variables included both bank specific factors; bank size, return on assets, total loan and advance to total deposit ratio, capital adequacy ratio and macro-economic factors; real gross domestic product growth rate and inflation. The existence of high levels of NPLs would hinder the benefits to the county through inefficient financial intermediation. Hence, there is a national level responsibility towards banks, to manage the NPL ratio at an acceptable level. Consequently, it is important to identify “what causes NPLs and significance of these factors on NPLs”. Therefore, this study would help to get an insight on the bank specific and macro-economic factors, which affect NPLs in commercial banks and in which magnitude bank specific or macroeconomic factors contribute to NPLs. The estimated ordinary least square (OLS) regression model reveals that the bank specific: ROA, LTD and CAR and macroeconomic factors GDP have significant impact on nonperforming loan in Nepalese commercial banks.

Despite the proven sustainability and growth of Islamic banks during the financial crisis period, many scholars criticise the current performance of Islamic banks. Therefore, policymakers are continuously getting worried due to inconclusive finding of different research related to Islamic bank profitability. To shed the light of raising concern, this study investigates the issue from considering both macroeconomic and bank-specific factors. The annual cross-sectional data has been collected from 46 Islamic banks in 10 selected MENA countries over the period 2015-2019. The standardized pooled ordinary least square (OLS) approach's findings revealed that bank size, capital adequacy, GDP, and inflation have a significant positive impact on Islamic banks' return on asset, but asset quality has no significant effect on ROA. In contrast, most of the variables have an insignificant effect of ROE. Investors, financial analysts, and policymakers will get benefits from this study's results to secure their investment by successfully controlling the above-mentioned leading factors.

This study attempts to identify the Bank Specific and Macro-economic Determinants of The United Arab Emirates Commercial Banks Profitability measured by Return on Assets, Return on Equity and Net Interest Margin. The study uses bank-specificand microeconomic factors as independentvariables. The bank-specific factors include bank size, capital adequacy, assets quality, liquidity, deposits, diversification ,business mix, and efficiency, while the macroeconomic factors include real Gross Domestic Product growth, Inflation Rate, and Real Interest Rate.Regression models were used to relate bank profitability ratios to the independent variables built on panel data for the period 2013-2019 of sixteen commercial banks operating in the United Arab Emirates.The results of the study show thatassetsize, liquidity, off-balance sheet activities, and diversification have significant impact on profitability as measured by theNet Interest Margin. In addition, loans under follow-up to total loans, and managerial efficiency are found to behighlysignificantvariables of profitability in the context of the United Arab Emirates commercial banks as measured by Return on Assets and Return on Equity. Furthermore, diversification has a significant impact on profitability as measured by Return on Assets. The remaining bank-specific factors (capital adequacy, loans to total assets, liquidity, deposits to assets ratio, and operating expenses to total assets ratio) and macroeconomic factors have no significant effect on bank profitability. The results of the study suggest that banks can improve their profitability through maintaining high operating income, decreasing the size of non-performing loans, full utilization of liquid assets, more concentration on the main activities, efficiently managing their operating expenses, and taking advantage of the Gross Domestic Productgrowth , inflation and Interest Rate changes to improve the banks performance and profitability. In addition, it is recommended to make further studies on the banks performance with an expanded scope which is tobe extended to other industries.

The aim of this paper is to find out determinants which affect liquid asset ratio of Czech and Slovak commercial banks. The data cover the period from 2001 to 2010. We consider four bank specific factors and nine macroeconomic factors. Results of panel data regression analysis showed that although Czech Republic and Slovak Republic have a lot in common, different factors determined banks´ liquid assets in individual countries. The liquid asset ratio of Czech banks increases with increase of capital adequacy, with depreciation of Czech koruna and with worsening quality of credit portfolio. Liquidity of Slovak banks decreases with size of the bank, with higher capital adequacy, higher bank liquidity and during periods of financial crisis. Liquidity of Slovak banks is also positively related to economic cycle.

Purpose: The persistent growth of Islamic banks has been the distinction of the Muslim world financial background in the 1980s and 1990s. Through a network that spans more than 62 countries and an asset base of more than $169 billion; Islamic banks are now performing a progressively more significant role in their particular economies. The core objective of this study is to find the impact of some of the key bank-specific factors (internal determinants) on the profitability of Islamic banks in Pakistan. Factors that opted in this study are bank size, operating efficiency, gearing ratio and asset management. Secondary data was obtained from 5 Islamic banks in Pakistan from year 2007 to 2015. The Ordinary Least Square (OLS) was used to analyze the empirical findings. The estimation results show that bank size significantly and positively influence the bank profitability while the asset management inversely affects the bank profitability. For future studies, it is recommended that more sample size and determinant factors can be included in determining the impact on bank's profitability.

There were two objectives in this research. Those were to construct an optimal portfolio and to analyze the impact of inflation, Bank of Indonesia (BI rate), and Rupiah to US Dollars exchange rate to the optimal portfolio return in Indonesia. The constant correlation portfolio model and ordinary least square regression method were implemented. This research used the stocks from the consistently selected stocks in the Bisnis-27 Index from 2012 to 2016. Microsoft Excel 2010 was used to construct an optimal portfolio. Meanwhile, to compute the regression and statistical analysis, SPSS version 20 was utilized. The obtained results show that only the stocks from PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia, PT Kalbe Farma, PT Charoen Pokphand Indonesia, PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia, PT Bank Central Asia, and PT Bank Negara Indonesia are included in the optimal portfolio. In addition, from the three leading macroeconomic indicators, only exchange rate change (Rupiah to US Dollars rate of change) impacts the return of the constant correlation model portfolio in Bisnis-27 Index significantly and negatively.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand how firms affiliated to business groups (BGs) are able to improve their innovation capability (IC) when engaged in coopetition (collaboration between competing firms). This study aims to explore the relationship between coopetitive relationship strength (CRS), the extent of tacit knowledge transfer (TKT) and IC as well as examine the moderating effect of both BG affiliation and coopetitive experience. Design/methodology/approach The paper examines inter-firm relationships within the empirical context of Indian manufacturing and service firms, by adopting (ordinary least square) regression analysis to test the various hypotheses. The central thesis is that the TKT in coopetition constitutes an important driver to the IC. Findings The paper provides some evidence that inter-firm CRS influences the extent of TKT, and the extent of TKT affects firm IC. The results support that firms in coopetition gain more if their coopetitive partner has a BG affiliation. In absence of a BG affiliation of any of the coopetitive partners, the buildup of TKT reduces as CRS is increased. Research limitations/implications Additional large-sample of data may attempt to validate relationships. The study, however, did not consider all enablers that are critical for TKT. Despite these limitations, analysis provides important and novel perspectives. Practical implications The paper contributes to develop executives’ practices in understanding potential benefits of coopetitive relationship. The implications of this research are important for managers seeking understanding of the management of coopetition. Originality/value The paper makes a modest attempt to investigate the various scenarios of the presence or absence of the moderation of BGs and its impact on CRS in the buildup of TKT. This is the first attempt to link coopetition to the TKT in the BG literature. This study also contributes to our understanding of coopetition in a non-western context.
