Abstract

The important aspect of the banking industry in Bangladesh is successfully helping to face the financial crisis at present and in the future. This paper explores some factors that influence the profitability of commercial banks. The main objective was to important factors analyze performance decisions as the profitability of commercial banks in Bangladesh. The necessary data was collected from secondary sources. Profitability is measured by return on assets (ROA). A sample of 16 commercial banks out of 32 listed on both DSE and CSE for the period 2016-2020. Profitability measures were calculated and using statistical tools SPSS 25 version through Pearson’s correlation, descriptive analysis of variance and regression analysis were utilized in testing the hypotheses and to measure sample banks accounting to their different characteristics. However, the results indicate that there is a significant positive between ROA of banks TCA, TIA and TOEI variables, as well as a negative correlation with the NLBS variable. The regression model reveals that banks specific factors such as TCA, TIA, TOEA and NLBS are influencing factors for the changes in ROA. Further, it is required to strengthen the recommendation that empirical studies should be undertaken in the same field to find out what more specific factors could affect the profitability of commercial banks in Bangladesh.
