摘要:The goal of the paper is to analyse the determinants of the level of ROE (return on equity) for two groups of banks,interrelated by capital links,and their banking sectors.Methodology: For the case study,we chose companies that,in 2011-2013,were designated by the Financial Stability Board as global systemically important banks (G-SIBs) and their subsidiaries operating in Central,Eastern and Southeastern Europe (CESEE) as well as their banking sectors.We sought to identify differences in the performance drivers,taking into account bank-specific and country-(or sector-) specific factors.Findings: We found no significant differences in the level of ROE among the analysed groups; however,we identified a different set of determinants and their impact on ROE.
