Abstract

An introduction to the profitability study of French credit institutions The current difficulties of the banking system make it necessary to better assess banking profitability. Different profitability measures are calculated and discussed based on harmonised Profit and Loss Statements. Besides, a tentative explanation of profitability indicators is made through the estimation of a simplified model. This retrospective article provides an analysis of banking performance over the 1980-1995 period. On the other hand, as the study was centred on aggregate indicators, some current problems affecting the French banking system - provisions for certain risks, real estate crisis - are only briefly mentioned. However, this study succeeds in underlining the particularities of the French banking system.
