Bank level data is used and this study examines the alternative measures ROA and ROE as a bank‐specific function and macro‐economic determinants. Findings - The study results signify that banks with larger assets size and with efficient management lead to greater return on assets. Originality/value - The paper shows that management efficiency regarding operating expenses positively and significantly affects the banks' profitability.
