Summary/Abstract: The aim of our study was to determine the relationship between the level of financial efficiency, competitiveness and profitability of Islamic banks. To our knowledge, no research on Islamic banks has tried to accurately assess the role played by financial efficiency (costs, profits, capitalization and liquidity) on the profitability of Islamic banks. We were able to achieve these objectives through an empirical study on a sample of 29 selected Islamic banks targeted to have a good representative sample over a period of eight years from 2005 to 2012.
