Abstract

Abstract: The study has investigated one of the key research questions: how do bank specific factors are related to bank performance? The model constructed is framed based on the commonly used supervisory tool to monitor bank performance: CAMEL. This consists of elements from Capital Adequacy, Asset Quality, Management, Earning and Liquidity. It has used six variables representing each of the components and run a regression model based on fixed and random models. The outcome shows that many of the bank specific factors have a significant statistical relationship with performance measures. Despite the mixed result in the various models, the study explored that bank#x2019;s capital holding, asset quality and business diversification, cost control and liquidity positions are important part of the management decisions to have a significant influence on performances.
