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