The investigation process considers all types of local Bangladeshi banks, OLS fixed effect and two step system GMM model. The results report that credit risk, cost efficiency, GDP growth and real interest rate effects profitability negatively; and capital adequacy, liquidity, size, inflation and stock market turnover effect profitability positively. The results further find that both development banks and private commercial banks are more profitable than public commercial banks in Bangladesh. Furthermore, the study finds that ROAA is most preferred measure of profitability.
