Abstract: The financial stability of banks and the prevention of bank failures are very important as the core of monetary and financial activities. This study analyzes the impact of macroeconomic variables on insolvency risk of Iranian banks. In this regard, 18 state and private banks were studied for period 1386-1395. To test the hypothesis, the multivariate regression analysis and Generalized Method of Moments based panel data are used. The results of testing hypotheses show that inflation and GDP growth has a significant and positive impact on the insolvency risk and the fixed assets and securities owned index (average price of a square meter of housing units in 32 selected cities), liquidity, oil revenues and state tax revenues has a significant and negative impact on the insolvency risk. Also, control variables including credit risk and liquidity risk has a significant and positive impact on the insolvency risk and capital ratio and bank size has a significant and negative impact on the insolvency risk
