dc.description.abstractStudies on Islamic banks' profitability are important towards improving performance, evaluating bank operations and determining management plan to survive in competitive markets. The present study seeks to fill a gap by providing new empirical evidence on the factors that influence the profitability of the Islamic banks. The ordinary least square method is employed using annual data of 2013 on 44 Islamic banks from Asian and African region. The findings reveal that bank-specific factors such as the operating efficiency ratio are negatively and statistically significant to the profitability of the Islamic banks, while equity financing is positive and statistically significant to the profitability. The credit risks and liquidity risks factors are insignificant on the performance of the Islamic banks. On the other hand, macroeconomic factors such as inflation have a positive and significant impact on the profitability whereas GDP growth rate has no significant impact on the profitability of Islamic banks.
