The empirical findings suggest that cost efficiency is positively related to bank profitability, while lower profitability can also be explained by higher taxes paid by banks. In addition, there is a negative relationship between GDP growth and bank profitability. … Show more

“…The financial development variable has mixed results, positive in model 5 and negative in model 6 but insignificant in both, however, only in model 7 is positive and significant which indicate that the demand for banking products and services increases in the economies that have well-developed banking sectors, so banks can increase their profitability with effective strategies. This result is in line with Tan and Floros (2012). However, it is in contrast with Coccorese and Girardone (2017) who find a negative and significant impact of financial development variable on bank profitability because operation in such highly competitive and crowded environment can cause a negative impact on the banks' margins and so the profit.…”

“…When the need for credit increases, the bank will benefit from credit interest. Different results were found by Tan and Floros (2012) who found that the GDP growth rate decreases the level of ROA. With the increasing demand for credit, banks are increasingly aggressive in offering lower interest rates, thereby creating competition between one bank with another bank.…”
