Abstract
Through this paper will give an overview of the literature related to the stability of the
banking system and the factors that affect it. Banking stability is the main pillar of
development for the Albanian economy, because it occupies the most important part of
the financial system. The study of sustainability and finding practical solutions for its
preservation is impossible to realize without studying it in theory. Scholars divide the
factors of stability in external and internal factor depending on whether vary from
institution managers and other specific decisions or are independent and unrelated to
the decisions of the managers. As internal factors are considered; size, capitalization,
liquidity, loans and their quality, efficiency, control, degree of diversification, deposits,
government. Regarding external factors included inflation, Gross Domestic Product, taxes,
market concentration, maturity, ownership. It should be noted that researchers and
authors cite other factors, but in the paper are taken into account only factors that suit
the banking system in the Albanian economy.

2003). Recent literature has emphasised the importance of changes in macroeconomic
conditions on the performance of banks. Bank profits are positively correlated with
movements in the business cycle (Arpa et al., 2001; Bikker and Hu, 2002) while
provisions for loan losses may exert a negative impact on economic activity (see
Cortavarria et al., 2000; Cavallo and Majnoni, 2002; Laeven and Majnoni, 2003).
In a new stage of development of literature stresses the importance of market
structure and bank-specific variables to explain performance among banks. This
stage takes place around paradigm structure - behave- performance (SCP) and was
