The study will be<br>administered by collecting data from the annual reports of the banks, as the population and sample of the study consist of NBB, BBK, and AUB Banks.<br>The study lies in knowing the effects of Corona on the profitability of NBB, BBK and AUB banks in Bahrain by comparing previous annual reports<br>and analyzing the profitability ratio of banks before the Corona period and during the Corona period. The result of study shows that the Corona virus<br>negatively affects the profitability of banks in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The study notices through the results the extent of the impact of the Corona<br>virus on the profitability of banks through the sudden closure, and thus we see the extent of the banks’ failure to achieve profitability through the marked<br>decrease in the rate of returns. Hence, the study recommends that in order for banks to increase their profitability, they must increase the effectiveness<br>of the required reserve as a tool to control bank risks, and work on controls and determinants such as capital adequacy, legal liquidity ratio and the ratio<br>of loans to deposits, which are much more effective than reserve requirements in maintaining the safety of the sector and its durability and its ability to<br>absorb shocks.</p>}, number={01}, journal={International Journal of Intellectual Human Resource Management (IJIHRM)}, author={Liandu, Namasiku D and Qaed, Maryam Ali Ebrahim}, year={2022}, month={Apr.}, pages={54-62} }
