“…In fact, Pasiouras et al [51] studied the relationship between bank efficiency and stock returns. Most of the papers that have studied the subject support the evidence that both variables are negatively linked such as Yermack [67], Eisenberg et al [26], Jensen [35], Guest [32], and Fanta et al [27]. They believe that the higher is the number of directors, the lower is the performance of the firm.…”

This paper studies the relationship between Tunisian listed banks performance and two types of determinants; internal and external. The internal explanatory variables are: (1) the bank size, (2) privatization, (3) board size, (4) capital-to-assets ratio, and (5) cost of efficiency. The macro-economic (external) exogenous variables are: (1) gross domestic product growth rate and (2) inflation. Our panel-data analyses suggest a statistically significant and negative relationship between bank profitability (endogenous variable) and board size. However, the remaining variables were found to be statistically insignificant. This can be explained by two main sub-hypotheses: (a) state-owned banks included in the sample disturb the statistical significance of the results and (b) the year 2011 is a cut-off point that changed the Tunisian bank performance determinants.

“…In line with the studies of Lefort and Urzúa (2008) board composition (BODC) is calculated by the number of non-executive directors in bank's board. The size of the board is the representation of a total number of board directors (Fanta, Kemal, Waka, 2013). Board gender is the proportion of directors on board which is female (Liang et al, 2013).…”

This paper presents the key role of corporate governance on the performance of banks in Iraq. This study aims to examine the relationship between board characteristics and bank performance by considering panel data of 24 banks for period [2005][2006][2007][2008][2009][2010][2011][2012][2013][2014] in Iraq. This relationship is estimated by using the panel OLS and regression technique. The findings reveal there is a significant positive relationship between board composition, board size and bank performance. Additionally, findings show that female board of directors is one of the reasons to make down the bank performance in Iraq. Taken together, this study finding recommended to regulators, in particular for the current financial reform of corporate boards.

“…These include a better structure of the board, specific duties of directors and transparent disclosure. Fanta et al (2013) find that there are some major factors to impact bank performance. These mainly include an absence of implementation of corporate governance standards, as well as accounting and auditing standards, high, repeated government intervention and weak legal framework to protect minority shareholder rights.…”

The novel inclination towards applying principles of governance in banks constitutes a great challenge to banks around the world, especially in developing countries. It is especially challenging for Lebanese banks to apply principles of governance because its economy is passing through a very delicate period. This paper aims at studying the extent of commitment of Lebanese banks to principles of governance according to Basel Committee. It is of great importance that Lebanese banks should be committed to these principles to be able to face present and future challenges since applying principles of governance enhances trust of investors, shareholders and other related parties in addition to related international organizations which are closely watching the Lebanese economy. The researchers utilized a five-point Likert Style questionnaire which includes 56 items and asked employees of 10 banks operating in Lebanon to respond to them. Among those employees were board members, executives, internal auditors and heads of departments. The research reached some important findings, most importantly that Lebanese banks are totally committed to principles of governance. This enables Lebanese banks to have a positive impact on investors, shareholders and other parties, which might enhance the bank’s competitive position and attract a greater number of investors, depositors and stockholders.
