Summary:
The primary objective of the thesis is to examine the effectiveness and profitability of the financial institutions in the 19 Eurozone member nations. More precisely, data from 4 separate years (2008, 2010, 2015, 2019) for more than 70 institutions will be used as the basis for the empirical analysis. This will allow for a comparative analysis of the 19 nations, which will be divided into the North (Germany, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Finland, Ireland, Austria), the South (Greece, Italy, Malta, Spain, Portugal, Cyprus), and the East (Slovakia, Slovenia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia). As a result, the study will be able to provide a clearer picture of the effectiveness of the banks in the Eurozone with the aid of certain macroeconomic factors and indicators. In this study we concluded that the most profitable region does not remain the same over time, since there are many events that take place through the years. We concluded that there were not significant differences among the regions, so that one of them could be regarded as the most profitable.
