With the help of the risk evaluation through the measure of Z-score, we are trying to evaluatethe financial health of the institutions and as a whole the industry. This will let us explore the financialstandings and the performance of the particular market. The other point is that the examination coversthe post-financial crisis period with the certain macroeconomic fluctuations of the endogenous to theindustry problems such as devaluation in-between the study coverage timeframe. These impacting factorshelp us understand the effect of both external and internal shocks affecting the banking industry.The relationship between the financial stability and the overall profitability, as a risk and return relationshipwith the effects of external factors like crisis and internal macroeconomic shocks as devaluation isthe core point of the interest of this particular study. The findings suggest that the size of the bank playsimportant but negative role in the way bank behaves. It negatively affects the financial health of the bankindustry.
