The purpose of this study is to shed some lights on the determinants of banks’ profitability operating in Lebanon. Through applying Panel “EGLS period SUR” technique, for the period spans from 2000 to 2015. We have used a set of micro factors that might affect the banks’ profitability such as; asset quality, liquidity, and capital adequacy, on a sample of twenty four banks operating in Lebanon. Net Interest Margin (NIM) has been used to measure the profitability. The results indicate that most positive powerful effects on NIM are Equity to Liability, and Interest rate on Deposits (on Average), and to a lower extent Loan Loss Reserve to Impairment Loans, the Impaired Loans to Equity, Liquid Assets to Total Deposits and Borrowings, whereas, Capital Funds to Liability, loan loss provision to net interest revenue, are the most significant but with a negative effect; and to lower extent Net charge Off to Average gross loans, Net loans to deposits and short term borrowing affect the NIM negatively. Our findings revealed that banks perform better when they maintain higher level of equity relative to their Liabilities, and then can achieve a higher level of profitability.

The purpose of this study is to conclude the factors that affect bank capital adequacy ratios. The sample used is 42 banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2015-2019. The analysis method used was panel data regression and using purposive sampling for the sampling technique. The independent variables in this study are loan loss reserves, return on equity, bank size liquidity ratio and loan ratio, and capital adequacy ratio is the dependent variable. The results show that bank size and the return on equity have a positive effect on capital adequacy ratio, while loan ratio has a negative effect on capital adequacy ratio. The liquidity ratio and loan loss reserve have no effect on the capital adequacy ratio. It is expected that the results of this study will provide a reference for companies to understand the factors that affect capital adequacy. Managerial implications: Banking companies are expected to increase the total number of assets held, increase return on equity and reduce bank loan ratios to avoid the risk of bad credit.

As the consolidation of financial institutions is one of the highlights in recent financial territory, we examine whether banks being subordinated under the financial holding company (FHCs) outperform to independent banks in Taiwan, covering 15 FHCs banks and 18 independent banks in our sample for the period from 2005 to 2010. Using the CAMEL approach, we also investigate empirically further the financial determinants of banks’ performance regarding FHCs banks and independent banks respectively, and examine whether the financial determinants of banks’ performance differ before and after the financial crisis. Results show that ROA is strongly related to certain CAMEL ratios, such as the total capital ratio, loan loss reserve/gross loans, the burden ratio, and net interest income divided by total assets. Moreover, the positive significant capital adequacy ratio in the post-crisis period in our sample is mainly driven by subordinated banks. Finally, asset quality factor has explaining power for the pre-crisis and post-crisis periods, meaning prevention safety net built predominantly in refraining from external shocks.

Capital adequacy rules are safety valve for regulators and banks’ clients/shareholders to reduce expected risks faced by commercial banks especially for cross border transactions as these rules are applied compulsory by all banks internationally. Applying these rules will achieve rational management and governance. This paper examines explanatory victors that influence capital adequacy ratio (CAR) in the Egyptian commercial banks. The study covers 36 banks during the period from 2003-2013. We examined the relationship between CAR as dependent variable and the following independent variables: earning assets ratio, profitability, and liquidity, Loan loss provision as measure of credit risk, net interest margin growth, size, loans assets ratio and deposits assets ratio. Furthermore, we investigate determinants of CAR before and after the 2007-2008 international financial crises. Results vary according to the period understudy. For the whole period 2003 to 2013 results show that liquidity, size and management quality are the most significant variables. Before the period 2008 results show that asset quality, size and profitability are the most significant variables. After the period 2009 results show that asset quality, size, liquidity, management quality and credit risk are the most significant variable that explain the variance of Egyptian banks’ CAR.

Abstract. This study used a sample of 6 companies. The research objective was to determine the effect of Non Performing Loans (NPL), Operational Costs on Operational Income (OCOI), Net Interest Margin (NIM), Loan to Deposits Ratio ( LDR) and Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) to profitability (ROA). Problem solving using multiple linear regression analysis techniques. Based on the analysis, it is known that NPL and LDR have a significant negative effect on profitability (ROA), while CAR have a significant positive effect on profitability (ROA). Abstrak.

This study aims to analyze company characteristics as a determinant of conventional and Islamic bank earnings management in several ASEAN countries (Association of South East Asian Nations). The Multiple Discriminant Analysis was applied to determine the differences between Islamic and Conventional Banks. This test was conducted based on Capital Adequacy Ratio, Income Before Tax and Interest, Non-Performing and Changing Loans, and Company's Size in the banks of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei Darussalam from 2014 to 2018. The data obtained from 200 banking entities were analyzed discriminatively. The results showed that there were simultaneous differences between Capital Adequacy Ratio, Earnings Before Tax, Loan Loss Provision, Non-Performing and Changing Loans, and Company's Size as determinants of earnings management between Islamic and conventional banks. Also, it was found that Company's Size was the dominant variable determining the management differences. Based on Discriminant Analysis, there were significant differences in the determinants of conventional and Islamic earnings management. The Changing Loan variable showed the highest contribution in determining earnings management in Islamic banks. Overall, this study found that conventional banks dominated Islamic system in practicing earnings management.

This study examines the determinants of cost inefficiency of banks operating in 8 member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN): Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Cambodia, Brunei and Vietnam. The author defines the cost inefficiency using accounting based efficiency known as business efficiency (CIR). Second, the researcher regresses the cost inefficiency ration on a set of bank specific variables (size, equity to total asset, personnel expenses to total expenses) and economic variables (economic growth and inflation rate) using ordinary least squared (OLS) regression analysis. The dataset of 504 banks in the ASEAN countries is used for the period from 2008 to 2012. The results show that the average cost inefficiency ratio during the period is about 59%. Banks from Vietnam exhibit the lowest cost inefficiency relative to banks in the other ASEAN countries. It is found that cost inefficiency is positively determined by inflation, loan loss provision, personnel expenses, capital adequacy and negatively by asset size and liquidity position

We estimate the determinants of credit and of non-performing assets (NPAs) using a firm and a bank panel with data up to 2015 in order to test bank lending against the aggregate demand channel as an explanation for slow Indian credit growth. The results support demand as the key constraint. Only demand variables affect corporate credit for a broad set of firms. Balance sheet weakness reduced credit only for a narrow subset of indebted firms in a difference-in-difference type analysis. Even so, sales remained the dominant variable. From the bank panel, the asset quality review (AQR) did have a strong negative effect on advances but gross NPAs did not. While high interest rates and low growth raised NPAs, so did past credit. Low demand not only reduced credit, it also increased NPAs. That the capital adequacy ratio (CAR) significantly reduces NPAs points to the productivity of fund infusion. When other determinants are controlled, bank ownership does not affect NPA ratios, again supporting external shocks as causal. The results suggest that apart from structural reform to clean balance sheets, recovery of demand is necessary for revival of credit growth. JEL Classification: G21, E51


This research scope looks into credit risk management and its effect on a specific group of banks with intensive commercial activity within Malaysia. Yearly reports from 8 different banks that rely on secondary data gathered from the span of 3 years (2015-2017), form the essence of this research. Return on assets (ROA) was primarily used in this research to measure profitability. Also, two credit risk measuring methods were used, loan loss provisions ratio (LLPR) and ratio of capital adequacy (CAR). From the results we deduced that commercial bank's profitability related positively to capital adequacy ratio and loan loss provision ratio. Therefore, the research calls upon the need of new management structure that optimally keep credit risk in check and boost banks profitability.
