The results reveal that the relationship between economicliberalization and banks' profitability is positive (negative) for the fullsample and commercial (cooperative) banks. The outcomes show that economicliberalization increases banks' profitability during the crisis period. Theresults indicate that economic liberalization, government integrity, business,investment and financial liberalization adversely (positively) affect theprofitability of well-capitalized (under-capitalized) banks. Furthermore, theheterogeneity in results have implications for policymakers and bank managers.
