Baku. Vahab Rzayev – APA-Economics. As of January 1, Return on Equity (ROE) ratio for Azerbaijan-based banks stood at 0.175 for 2009, compared to 0.170 a year ago, said the Central Bank of Azerbaijan.

According to statistics, the ratio is reached 0.237 in the first quarter of 2009, and declined gradually later.

ROE measures a bank’s efficiency at generating profits from every manat (national currency) of net assets (assets minus liabilities), and shows how well a company uses investment to generate earnings growth. Simple ROE is equal to a net income divided by total equity, expressed as a percentage.

Increasing ROE indicates improvement in commercial banks’ capital efficiency.
