Moreover, at the very beginning, panel unit root test is conducted to verify the stationary property of all study variables and then performed Hausman specification test to select appropriate regression model. Findings: Study results show that LCR has statistically significant negative effect whereas NSFR has positive impact on the profitability state owned commercial banks in Bangladesh, i.e. if LCR increases in 1 unit, it decreases profitability by 0.067 unit, whereas if NSFR increases in 1 unit, it raises profitability by 0.5141 unit. Moreover, study also shows strong negative influence of NPL on the profitability of commercial banks.
