Abstract: This paper aims to investigate the effect of credit risk, liquidity risk and bank capital on bank profitability over a nine-year period (2010–2018) by examining empirical evidence from an emerging market. This study is grounded on econometric panel data using GMM methods. The results indicate that credit risk, liquidity risk, and bank capital variables have an impact on bank profitability. Understanding the Basel requirements and their importance by local and foreign bank managers is significant as enforcing them can improve the efficiency of the bank and increases profitability while barricading it from risk.
