Abstract:
Investigating risk in the banking industry is not only vital for maintaining the financial health of banks but also helps in creating trust in financial markets and protecting customer interests. Therefore, the aim of the present research is to identify the factors affecting liquidity risk, credit risk, operational risk, and market risk in the banking industry. To achieve this goal, a sample including 25 banking experts was selected during the month of Mehr in the year 1403 using the snowball method, and the required data were collected through semi-structured interviews; then, the experts' opinions were analyzed through thematic analysis using MAXQDA software. The results of the research showed that various dimensions, including macro characteristics, environmental features, and financial characteristics, have been considered regarding risk in the banking industry, some of which are specific to the Iranian environment and have not been examined in global rankings. Given that domestic rating agencies have not yet announced the credit ratings of banks, the results of this research can be considered for determining the influential indicators in determining the credit rating of banks.
