Abstract

The banking sector is one of the most important financial sectors of an economy and they play a vital role to strengthen the whole economy and its growth. The regulation of banking in developing countries has increasingly focused on attaining financial stability and soundness. The study focused on the determinants of the financial performance of the private commercial banks in Bangladesh. Conveniences and judgmental sampling were used. 20 private commercial banks are sampled for the study with time-series data from the year 2008 to the year 2017. The panel data analyses show that bank-specific factors have a significant effect on the financial performance of private commercial banks in Bangladesh while macroeconomic factors have insignificant participation.
