Using quantitative methods, multiple linear regression was conducted through SPSS 16, with secondary data from 11 large conventional banks on the IDX and produced 44 observations. As a result, simultaneously, inflation, exchange rates, credit risk affect banking profitability significantly are shown by the results (F = 3.123, p = 0.036), explaining the 15.4% variation (R² = 0.154; Adjusted R² = 0.106), but only a fraction of the credit risk (t = 2.618, p = 0.012, β = 0.051) was affected. inflation (t = 0.975, p = 0.335) and exchange rate (t = 0.995, p = 0.326) are not. These findings contribute to understanding the importance of risk control in maintaining bank profitability amid uncertain economic conditions, emphasizing the priority of internal credit risk management over external macroeconomic signals in post-pandemic banking stability.
