This paper examines the banking industry in FYROM, a non-EU transition economy in the Balkans. The size of the domestic market is relevant small but is on a long-way to development and liberalization in the recent years. Our analysis evaluates the basic financial characteristics of the major banks and links bank profitability with various independent industry specific variables. We apply linear regressions to estimate possible relationships of the return on assets and return on equity ratios with the rest parameters. Our findings show significance of equity size, loan loss and operating expenses depending on the situation, but show no relationship of bank size, loans to assets and inflation on bank profitability. We question the significance of the proxies used when applied in such a small market.
