Article Main Content

The authors aim at investigating factors impacting the profitability of Vietnamese Listed Commercial Banks during the period of 2011–2020. Through the Panel Tobit model, the study figured out that the CIR (Cost to Income) has the inverse relationship with the profitability while LDR (Loans to Deposits) positively correlates to the profitability. Based on findings, some recommendations were proposed to enhance the profitability of Vietnamese Commercial Banks in the future.
