Abstract: Banks in their operations are exposed to many factors that may have a negative impact on their functioning. Fears of negative consequences of the risk that could lead to the bank’s bankruptcy were compounded after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008. The Lehman Brothers example shows how important the issues of supervision, bank management and risk management are. The purpose of this article was to identify the main determinants that affect the capital adequacy risk of commercial banks from Central and Eastern Europe. This research seems to be significant due to the fact that a long-term loss of bank solvency may result in its bankruptcy. In this article, the solvency risk is represented by the capital Tier1 ratio. For the examined variables, which are suspected to have a statistically significant impact on the dependent variable, the following were selected: the size of the bank (natural logarithm of the value of assets), the ratio of equity to total assets, the ratio of loan allowances to total loans, the ratio of loans to total assets, the ratio of loans to non-working assets, total return on equity, the ratio of liquid assets to total assets and the ratio of loans to deposits.
