Dr. Anila Cekrezi

Abstract :

 Small and medium enterprises are the major agents of economic growth and employment in Albania and profitability 

is one of their most important financial indicators. It is affected not only by in¬ternal factors but also by external macro 
factors. Therefore, the focus of this research is the evaluation of the impact of internal factors (leverage, size, liquidity 
and asset turnover) and macroecono¬mic factors (GDP growth rate and inflation) on SMEs’ profitability. The investigation uses cross–sectional 
time series data which are calculated from balance sheets of the firms. The results revealed a significant impact of leverage, liquidity, asset 
turnover and GDP growth rate on the profitability of SMEs.
