Standardization and quality in the management of banks and firms are crucial for economic growth. Banks, which are the most important stakeholders of the financial system, have a critical position in the development of economies due to their role. The banking sector provides both the necessary funds and the ability of institutions or individuals with excess funds to evaluate their funds. In the 2008 mortgage crisis, the world was faced with a major financial crisis that caused massive losses in wealth and employment and devastatingly damaged the economies of developed countries. With the financial crisis, differences in the banking system have emerged in terms of capital quality. Banks have sought a better quality asset structure. Banks in the Balkan countries have also increased their management quality with the process. In the literature, especially in recent years, there are many studies investigating the profitability of banks in the Balkan countries. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of certain characteristics of banks and economic factors on the profitability of banks in the Balkan countries in terms of the current economic framework. In order to examine the factors affecting bank profitability, the research was carried out using the data of 9 Balkan countries between 2008 and 2017. According to the findings, while inflation, non-performing loans and cost-income ratio have a negative effect on the return on assets and return on equity, economic size has a positive effect. In addition, it was observed that only the economic size variable and non-performing loans had a statistically significant effect.
