ANALYSIS OF FACTORS AFFECTING THE PERFORMANCE OF BANKING SYSTEMS IN POST-COMMUNIST EU STATES

Summary/Abstract: This study investigates the impact of specific banking factors and macroeconomic factors on banking performance indicators (ROA and ROE) in post-communist EU member states for the period 2000 – 2020. To determine the significant impact, an econometric panel data regression model was used. The study's results indicate that specific banking factors (Bank Size and Overhead Cost) have a negative impact on profitability indicators ROA and ROE, while other specific banking factors (Net Interest Margin and Non-Interest Banking Income) have a positive impact on the dependent variables. There is a positive impact of macroeconomic indicators on profitability indicators ROA and ROE, except for inflation, which has a negative impact on both ROA and ROE.
