ABSTRACT
There are
increasing scholarly debates on the direction of policy to effectively improve
the performance of commercial banks in Nigeria. Some scholars argue that bank
performance is enhanced by improvements in the internal organization and
managerial efficiency while others argue that industry wide factors are
integral to bank performance. In recent times, the direction of literature has
shown that macroeconomic factors play a significant role in determining bank
profitability. This paper investigates the determinants of bank profitability
in the light of bank specific variables and macroeconomic influences, using a
panel of selected banks that account for over 60% of total bank assets in Nigeria.
Findings show that bank profitability is largely determined by bank size, non
interest income, expenses management and inflation for both internal
organization of banking firms and external variables. Based on our findings we
recommend bank’s management should effectively pursue policies that will
enhance their balance sheet with regards to both internal organization and external influences.
