This study analyzes the factors affecting total risk in banking sector of Pakistan using sample data from 2006 to 2013. The results revealed that the size of bank, financial leverage, liquidity, loan to asset ratio, growth in real GDP, supply of money and spread of interest rates all seem to be statistically significant with total risk faced by bank.
