    <dct:description>&lt;p&gt;The main objective of this study is to examine the effect of leverage on Ethiopian private&lt;br&gt; commercial banks&amp;rsquo; profitability. For this purpose, from private commercial Banks engaged in&lt;br&gt; commercial banking activates ten private commercial banks was studied. The study covered nine&lt;br&gt; years&amp;rsquo; period (2008/09-2016/17). The dependent variable was the return on equity (ROE) used to&lt;br&gt; measure the profitability. And the independent variables were the degree of operating leverage&lt;br&gt; and degree of financial leverage to measure the leverage of the institutions. To ensure the&lt;br&gt; accuracy of the result of the regression model used two control variables these were operational&lt;br&gt; efficiency and bank size. In order to address the main objectives of this study balanced panel data&lt;br&gt; was used. The panel data were obtained from the audited financial statements of ten private&lt;br&gt; commercial banks&amp;rsquo; and National Bank of Ethiopia. The data were analyzed by using panel data&lt;br&gt; analysis techniques by using Eviews 8. The descriptive statistics and diagnostic tests were&lt;br&gt; discussed, followed by, regression analysis. Then, regression result indicates that, the degree of&lt;br&gt; operating leverage had positive and statistically insignificant impact, the degree of financial&lt;br&gt; leverage had negative and statistically significant impact on profitability of private commercial&lt;br&gt; banks. Moreover, operational efficiency also had negative and statistically strongly significant&lt;br&gt; relationship with profitability. Finally, bank size had statistically significant impact on&lt;br&gt; profitability. Therefore, private commercial banks could be increased income to improve&lt;br&gt; profitability since they are operating above breakeven point. They should also give due&lt;br&gt; consideration to manage their debt properly, increase loan and raise equity financing optimize&lt;br&gt; profitability.&lt;/p&gt;</dct:description>
