Abstract

In this ever-changing competitive environment, the banking business, compared to other types of business, is ultimately exposed to risks. Banks now days are operating in a rapidly innovative industry with a lot of profit pressure that encourage them to create more and more value-added services to offer and better satisfy the customers. The Palestinian banking system operate in a risky, complex, changeable economic and political environment, bank managements should be aware of these circumstances. This study attempts to examine the impact of credit risk, liquidity, capital, and market structure on banks' profitability in a developing economy (Palestine) over eleven years (2010 - 2020). A dynamic panel analysis is applied to the sample of 12 banks with three econometric models representing profitability indicators employed by the study. In addition to the linear regression models, we used a Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator. The results revealed that credit risk, liquidity, capital, and market structure impact bank profitability measured by ROA, ROE, and NPM. Cost efficiency, income diversification, and loan growth have been used as control variables had a significant impact on profitability except for loan growth had no impact.
