The complex and delicate character of the problem of banking performance, in the context of harsh competition and the emergence of multiple risks, impose on the banks the permanent evaluation of the behavior and the analysis of internal activity. In the context of the fast changes that take place in national economies lately, starting points towards a new banking order must be based on new models of banking management. The macroeconomic risk factors may have a significant impact on the performance of a banking institution, with direct implications on the quality of the credit portfolio, on profitability and its fructification and, finally, on the entire banking system. The evaluation of a bank’s profitability is done with the aid of the banking performance indicators, which reflect a multitude of aspects regarding the degree of profit realization, managerial and operational efficiency. The most important objective that banks which want to assume the responsibility of running a successful practice will be the identification of market needs and the choosing of a strategic position in this market, in the context of banking performance and minimal risk.
