Determinanty efektywności banków spółdzielczych w Polsce w latach 2005–2012
Efficiency Determinants of Cooperative Banks in Poland in 2005–2012

Summary/Abstract: The study attempts to identify the key factors affecting the efficiency of Polish cooperative banks in 2005–2012. The study included 124 randomly selected cooperative banks in operation in the period studied. Factors determining the level of net profit, return on equity, return on total assets and financial margin were examined at the banks surveyed. Twenty variables that could determine the economic and financial situation of cooperative banks were first considered. Of these, twelve turned out to be relevant. It is important that the three key variables were independent of the adopted measures of efficiency, that is, loans to the agricultural sector, the deposits of enterprises, private companies and cooperatives, and the deposits of individual entrepreneurs.
