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