After description analysis, OLS regression was utilized to determine the effect of independent variables (GDP, Inflation, Interest, capital adequacy, credit risk, deposit ratio, and cost efficiency) have on the dependent variables (ROA, ROE, and ROI) financial performance. It was established that; GDP as an external factor has a significant positive association with financial performance, cost efficiency was discovered to have a weak positive relationship with the financial performance, while inflation rate, interest rate, capital adequacy, deposit ratio, and credit risk were found to have no significant effect on the bank’s financial performance. It was recommended that; Islamic banks need to give more consideration to the economic factors in their policies and programs as they may influence their profitability. More studies are also needed to compare the determinants of Islamic banks with that of Money Deposit Banks.
