Determinants of commercial banks profitability through analysis of financial performance indicators: evidence from Kosovo

Performance evaluation of commercial banks in Kosovo is done through measurement of financial performance indicators such as Return on Average Equity (ROAE), Return on Average Assets (ROAA) and Net Interest Margin (NIM).
