Abstract
The focus on Islamic finance and banking has gained recognition and strength in the global banking and international finance since the recent global financial crisis. A large number of banking institutions have set up Islamic windows or established full-fledged Islamic banks. This study examines the determinants of financial performance of Islamic banks in Egypt along with conventional and mixed banks during the period 2003-2010. There are 13 banks included in the study (i.e. 2 Islamic banks, 8 conventional banks, and 3 mixed banks). In this research effort, multiple regression model is used to study the influence of the internal bank- specific characteristics and the external macroeconomic environment on the performance of Islamic banks, conventional banks, and mixed banks in Egypt. Return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) are used to measure the performance of three types of banks in Egypt. Moreover, set of internal and external factors will be considered as independent variables including; liquidity, capital adequacy, asset quality, operation efficiency, bank’s size, GDP growth rate (GDP GR), and inflation rate
