This study systematically investigated the determinants of the firm value of conventional banks in Southeast
Asian countries. The panel data technique used was based on the data extracted from 63 commercial banks over nine years
(2009–2017), with 567 observations. The empirical results revealed that capital adequacy and asset quality had a significant
positive impact on the firm value of banks. Meanwhile, the liquid asset ratio and deposit ratio have a significant and positive
effect on firm value, and the efficiency ratio had a significant and negative impact on firm value. On the other hand, the
Herfindahl-Hirschman Index and bank size have a significant negative effect on firm value, whereas the firm value is not
affected by diversification, gross domestic product (GDP) growth, and inflation rate. The study provides the implication
that bank management and policymakers focus on the importance of macroeconomic policies. Priority should be given to
policies that can control inflation and as well foster financial intermediation. Hence, further study should include government
changes and industry concentration, oil shocks, and financial structure.
