    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;This research is aimed to test the level of financial distress of commercial banks in Ethiopia and&lt;br&gt;
identify its determinant. In order to achieve these objectives secondary data was collected for&lt;br&gt;
eight banks for sample period covering from 2006 to 2015 and analyzed using descriptive&lt;br&gt;
statistics and fixed effect (FE) regression model. Based on the descriptive statistics the study&lt;br&gt;
concludes that sampled banks were under distress. The FE regression model identified capital&lt;br&gt;
adequacy, management efficiency, earning ability and bank size as having negative effect on&lt;br&gt;
banking financial distress and except size all of them appeared significant; whereas asset quality&lt;br&gt;
and liquidity appeared as having positive effect, but liquidity was only significant. Regarding the&lt;br&gt;
macroeconomic factors, economic growth and saving interest rate have significantly negative&lt;br&gt;
and positive effect on banking financial distress respectively; whereas inflation was not&lt;br&gt;
significant. In general, the research concludes that both bank specific and macroeconomic&lt;br&gt;
factors determine the level of financial distress of Ethiopian commercial banks&lt;/p&gt;</description>
