Generally, it depends from which point of view you are looking at the bank. There are different key indicators for investors (ROE, RORAC, RAROC), operating managers (RORAC, RAROC, loan volume, LtV) and authority (LCR, NSFR, capital adequacy) for example. You need to decide which point is interesting in the light of your studies. Regards, Radoslaw

the choice of the indicators is relevant from your research design. do you look at financial performance or business/stratetic performance of the firm ? If you look deeper on this last point you can also look as the wages, the investments, the numbers of clients, equity capital, etc. In fact a bank is a financial intermediary and also a firm. Moreover, there several kind of banks : public banks, co-operatives bank, for-profit banks
As an old banker Capital Adequacy ratio was very important at my time. The governments want it above a certain level. Its calculation is complicated b/c there are various risk factors for various assets including off balance sheet. Another important ratio is Foreign Exchange (FX) exposure ratios FX assets/FX liabilities and it should be calculated for every currency including the local. Again this ratio is watched by governments (Central Banks) it should be between a certain range for every currency.
There are so many ratios to measure performance. I would recommend you use basic KPI's (key performance indicators) to measure the performance. profitability ratios such as; ROA, ROE, operating profit margin e.tc can be used as profitability proxies to measure banks performance. Also liquidity ratios such as current ratio can also be used to know the working capital position of the bank and as such it also measures the banks performance. Regards.
Several ratios are used to measure the profitability of banks and other related industries. Most researchers usually use four measures which include: - the rate of return on firm’s assets (ROA), the rate of return on firm’s equity (ROE), operating profit margin and net firm’s income. However ROA and ROE are more fundamentally used as measures of companies’ profitability since they measure relative profitability, and hence more reliable as opposed to the others which measure the absolute profitability of the company.
It will depend on your research questions Like if you want to see profitability ROAA, ROAE are widely used. If your concern is stability interest coverage ratio and other default related ratioS like z-score and o-score are appropriate. Yet if you are more interested in efficiency rated matters than some expense related ratios like overhead expenses and non performing loans would be appropriate.
