Financial crisis and EU banks’ performance

• This study replicates a prior study on how the profitability of Swedish banks was affected by the financial crisis on banks in EU countries that are also members of BIS. Particular emphasis is put on analyzing how the crisis affected banks' profitability with respect to their exposures to different kinds of financial risk, i.e. to credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and capital risk. Comparisons are made between banks in different regions in the EU as well as between different types of banks in order to explore whether there are differences in the financial performance and risk-taking of the banks with respect to their geographical operations area (nationality) and association form.
