The dependent variable used in this study is the company's financial performance as measured by Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE). The control variables used in this study are Growth and Size. The type of data used in this study is panel data with a total of 152 observations, where the number of companies used is 38 companies and the number of periods is four years. In analyzing the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable, testing is used Feasible Generalized Least Square. They were then tested in this study using Stata 14 software. This study's test results indicate a negative effect debt to equity ratio on financial performance as measured by ROA and ROE. Then the results of this test show a positive effect of debt in foreign currency on financial performance as measured by ROA and ROE.
