Determinants of bank performance in Vietnamese commercial banks: an application of the camels model

Abstract

This study primarily aims to identify the determinants of Vietnamese commercial banks’ performance from 2009 to 2020. Recent developments in the economy have brought banks’ performance and their operations into the limelight. The paper deals with the CAMELS model as a framework for evaluating and measuring banks’ performance. Additionally, using the quantitative regression method, the System Generalised Method of Moments (SGMM), and combining the previous studies, the author examined ten statistically significant factors, including all the pro-rata of the CAMELS model. Furthermore, the obtained results highlight the relationship between ownership type and banks’ performance, implying that state-owned banks must improve and increase their soundness.
