Investigating the impact of macroeconomic variables on Risk-Adjusted Return on Capital (RAROC) of Registered Banks on Tehran Stock Exchange and Iran Fara Bourse

The Risk-Adjusted Return on Capital (RAROC), as a modern performance measure, is introduced in comparison to traditional performance measures and has been calculated for all the banks listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange and Iran Fara Bourse, based on a new method extracted from earlier studies. The research period is 8 years, from 2012 to 2019. Assessing the effect of macroeconomic variables on this performance measure is another aim of this research. In doing so, RAROC has been estimated by using the Net Income, Expected Loss, and Supervisory Equity of banks. At the next stage, some macroeconomic variables have been selected to run the model. The impact of these variables on RAROC is investigated by a Multiple Linear Regression Model and Panel data analysis. Based on the results, the Inflation rate, the growth of currency exchange rate to Consumer Price Index (CPI) ratio and Liquidity Growth affect RAROC. Except for the inflation rate which has a reversed effect on the dependent variable, others have a straight impact on RAROC.
