The researcher aims to determine the effect of liquidity (LDR), credit risk (NPL), the recovery of the National Economy during the Covid 19 pandemic on profitability (ROA) at BPRs throughout the East Java Regional Coordinating Board during the 2020-2021 period. The research method uses a descriptive quantitative approach. A population of 53 BPRs registered with the OJK are located in Bakorwil I East Java. The sampling technique using purposive sampling obtained 34 companies that meet the criteria. The data used by the researcher is secondary data for the quarterly financial statements for the 2020-2021 period.
