<p>The paper investigates the influence of bank capital ratio, size and loans on the profitability of a commercial bank in Jordan. It also evaluates whether returns on Assets (ROA) or returns on equity (ROE) is the better indicator that reflects bank profitability. Two Multiple regression models are used to test the influence of capital ratio, size and loans of a commercial bank on its profitability indicators measured by ROA and ROE and to detect the superiority between the two indicators for 13 Jordanian commercial banks for the period 2005-2013. The results of the study showed that capital ratio, size and loans have insignificant influence on ROA, but not on ROE except bank size. Regarding ROE, significant negative and positive influence for capital ratio and loans respectively are concluded. Although the small number of commercial banks in Jordan and some variables have not been well researched in literature, the paper presents a sight to associate bank performance/profitability proxied by ROA and ROE with its capital ratios, size and loans. Our results might assist bank management to capitalize the factors that could improve banks performance and hedge against the adverse factors.</p>

PurposeThis paper investigates the role of market structure and institutional quality in determining bank capital ratios in developing economies.Design/methodology/approachThe generalised methods of moment technique is used to control for auto-correlation and endogeneity in a sample of 79 publicly listed commercial banks. The study period is between 2000 and 2016.FindingsResults show that market structure (proxied with bank competition) as well as institutional quality (regulatory quality) lowers bank capital in the sampled banks. This suggests that banks operating in less competitive markets with good regulatory quality do not need to engage in excessive risk-taking activities that would necessitate holding increased level of capital. Furthermore, the interaction of competition and regulatory quality reinforces the main findings, suggesting the importance of the two variables in determining bank capital ratio.Research limitations/implicationsResearch has limitation in that the study investigated publicly listed commercial banks, the findings may not be applicable to non-listed banks.Practical implicationsTaking into cognisance the developing nature of the banking system in Africa, the findings from this study imply that the maintenance of an improved regulatory quality in an environment where healthy competition exists would encourage banks to hold capital ratios appropriate for their level of banking activities, that is, the banks would not engage in excessive risk-taking activities.Originality/valueThis is one of the first papers that examine the effect of market structure and institutional quality on bank capital ratios in developing countries that have bank-based financial systems.

Abstract Internal determinants of bank profitability can be defined as those factors that are influenced by the bank’s management decisions and policy objectives. This paper is aimed to examine the internal factors that impact on commercial banks profitability in Indonesia. The factors reviewed in the model namely capital adequacy, credit risk (non-performing loan), liquidity (loans to deposit ratio), net interest margin and operating efficiency (operating expenses to operating income ratio). Using purposive sampling method, the analysis used thirty three commercial banks, with 168 observations for the period 2010 to 2015. Based on the Chow-test, the common effect model was preferred. The model is estimated using Ordinary Least Squares method. The results revealed that two hypotheses were not be accepted. There are no significant effects of capital adequacy and credit risk on profitability, but the model explains that there are significant effects of all explanatory variables toward commercial bank profitability. However, other important internal determinants of bank profitability still have not included in the model of this paper.

Profitability indicators are included in the group of key financial indicators of a modern commercial bank, in particular, they act as one of the key performance criteria for a commercial bank, the use of assets and liabilities. The growth of profitability of a commercial bank contributes to the improvement of its financial condition; profitability is one of the components of the competitiveness of a commercial bank; profitability is important for business owners and investors. Improving profitability is a tool to increase the investment attractiveness of the bank, contributes to the growth of the market value of the shares. Increasing profitability is one of the main tasks of a modern commercial bank. There has been carried out the comparative analysis of profitability criteria of the largest commercial Russian banks: PJSC Sberbank, PJSC VTB, PJSC Gasprombank, JSC “Rosselkhozbank”, JSC “Alfa-bank”, etc. It has been stated that in recent years the profitability of commercial banks in Russia was rather unstable, but the most banks are profitable both in capital and in assets. Banks with state share 16.1% have the lead in capital profitability. The analysis of the two major indicators of profitability (assets and capital) showed their vulnerability to a range of internal and external factors. There have been determined the reasons of decreasing assets profitability of the commercial banks: problems of external funding; access to international capital markets in terms of sanctions against Russian banks; decrease of prices on oil and other raw materials. All this results in a slowdown of the state economics, inflation growth, increase of the proportion of non-performing loans and additional expenses on levies, etc. Proposals to improve profitability have been made.

Ensuring and strengthening the financial sustainability of banks is a difficult and not completely resolved task. It is inherent not only to developed countries, it has also be¬come nationally important in Ukraine, which was largely predetermined by the specifics of the domestic banks development. This is explained, in particular, by the banking insti¬tutions’ focus mainly on the relatively short-term activity, the need to work under high risk, resulting from economic and political instability in the country. Therefore, nowa¬days, it is urgent for each Ukrainian bank to focus on the main strategic objective – effec¬tive management and ensuring financial sustainability. The purpose of this study is to assess the current state and identify the features of ensuring financial sustainability of the banking system of Ukraine.It was pointed out in the study that the negative tendency to increase the number of in¬solvent commercial banks during 2012–2017 indicates problems with providing finan¬cial sustainability to commercial banks. The tendencies have been revealed that testify to the problems of the banking system capitalization in Ukraine, which greatly affects its financial stability. Given the analysis of indicators of banks financial sustainability that characterize the bank capital adequacy, the conclusion is made on ambiguous as¬sessment of sufficient level of capitalization, since despite the correspondence of most values of coefficients to the indicators, there is a lack of capitalization of the domestic banking system and equity capital concentration. In general, the results made it pos¬sible to identify trends in the development of capital ratios and financial sustainability indicators and to shape appropriate measures to increase the level of capitalization in order to ensure the financial sustainability of the banking system.

This paper aims to find out whether bank‑specific (internal) factors impact on the profitability of commercial banks in Hungary for 16 a year period ranging from 2000–2015. The study employs a sample of twenty‑six commercial banks with four hundred sixteen observations. The study employs return on average assets (ROAA) as a proxy for bank profitability, and it also considers bank‑specific (internal) factors as independent variables. These include asset quality (non‑performing loans), overhead costs, bank size, net interest margin, and liquidity risk plus capital adequacy ratio. The study uses panel regressions, descriptive statistics and correlation analysis for the investigations. The panel regression models are to estimate the impact of bank‑specific (internal) factors on bank profitability. The Hausman specification test was conducted on the panel regression models in order to identify the best and appropriate model for the study. The empirical findings reveal that non‑performing loans, overhead costs and liquidity had a significant negative impact on bank profitability as bank size had a significant positive impact on profitability. However, net interest margin and capital adequacy ratio had no impact on bank profitability. The study concludes that bank size and asset quality are bank‑specific factors that have the biggest impact on commercial banks’ profitability in Hungary for the period under investigation. The study recommends that commercial banks should endeavor to manage and reduce overhead costs to be able to earn more profits since overhead costs adversely affect bank profitability. More so, commercial banks’ managers should regularly monitor credit and liquidity risk indicators as well as pursuing diversification policies of income sources while upholding optimisation of operational costs.
