  This empirical study is conducted on randomly selected six Islamic banks of
Bangladesh. This study utilizes widely used Measures of banks profitability
which are Return on Asset (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Deposit
(ROD) and these are also commonly suggested tools by Bangladesh Bank to
evaluate banks performance. In addition, this study examined the relationship
of ROA with Asset Utilization (AU), Operational Efficiency (OE)and ROD. The
result reveals that EXIM Bank Limited is performing very good in terms of all
profitability measures ROA, ROE and ROD even though average asset size of
Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited is found to be largest among all six Islamic
Banks. The result of regression found the explanatory variable ROD is
significantly associated with ROA but failed to establish any significant
association with operational efficiency and asset utilization.
