This research aims to find out the determinants of banking financial distress. 41 banks were taken as samples based on the purposive sampling. The survival cox proportional hazard analysis method used found evidence that macro indicators (inflation and economic growth) had a significant effect on the banks' financial distress. This implies that the government as a regulator must maintain the level of growth and inflation that stabilize the economy so that banks can avoid financial distress. As for the banks' management, they have an obligation to support government policies in maintaining growth and inflation.
