Bank Profitability Challenges in Euro Area Banks: the Role of Cyclical and Structural Factors

Christoffer Kok, Csaba Móré and Cosimo Pancaro

Financial Stability Review, 2015, vol. 1

Abstract: Weak profitability among euro area banks is one key risk to financial stability. This special feature examines the main drivers influencing banks’ profitability, including bank-specific, macroeconomic and structural factors. The empirical part of the special feature finds that challenges appear to be mainly of a cyclical nature, although there may also be material structural impediments to reigniting bank profitability.
