Total Deposits: Deposits are the primary source of liquidity for a bank. They are used to fund loans and other investments, which generate income for the bank. A higher amount of deposits indicates a greater capacity to lend and invest, which can lead to higher profitability.
Net Interest Margin: A key profitability indicator for banks. It measures the difference between the interest income generated by the bank (from loans and other interest-earning assets) and the amount of interest paid out to their lenders (such as depositors), relative to the amount of their interest-earning assets.
Return on Assets: Measures the efficiency of a bank in using its assets to generate profit. It is calculated by dividing the net income of the bank by its total assets. A higher return on assets indicates that the bank is more efficiently managing its assets to produce income.
Loan to Deposit Ratio: Calculated by dividing the total loans and net leases of the bank by its total deposits. A higher ratio indicates that the bank is lending out more of its deposits, which can lead to higher profitability. However, a higher ratio also indicates that the bank has less liquidity to meet its obligations to depositors.
