摘要：This article analyzes the impact of macroeconomic and bank-specific factors affecting the profitability of Vietnam banks, which is an emerging economy with the banking industry considered to be young but plays a very important role for the development of the economy. The study data was collected during the period of 2013-2018. The Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) is used to estimate the study model to ensure that the results obtained are of high confidence. The study results show that the bank profitability was positively affected by macroeconomic (such as economic growth and inflation) and bank-specific factors (such as bank capital, bank size, and liquidity risk), which is an interesting finding in Vietnam. The results of this study are important for bank managers and researchers.
