Summary
This paper discusses the impact of the financial crisis on the profitability and risk profile of the banking sector in our country. The problem is studied at two levels – at a macroeconomic level (the banking system as a whole) and at a microeconomic level (particular banks). An indicator is derived for a complex binding of profit and risk (risk-weighted profitability), its dynamics is traced and the factors that influence it are outlined.
