This study investigates the impact of corporate governance characteristics and political connections of directors on the profitability of banks in Pakistan. The study uses the data of 26 domestic banks over the latest and large period of 2007–2016. Our findings firstly affirm that bank profitability is negatively affected by the presence of politically connected directors on the board, reporting significantly lower return on assets, return on equity, net interest margin, and profit margin. Secondly, our findings also affirm the negative political influence on the sustainability of the banking industry, reporting significantly lower return on assets, return on equity, net interest margin, and profit margin during the government transition of banks having politically connected directors sitting on their board. Our findings further report an inverted U-shaped relationship between board size and bank profitability, suggesting that a board size beyond 8–9 members decreases the profitability. The study further finds a positive impact of board composition, board independence, and director compensation on bank profitability, while also finding a negative impact of frequent board meetings, presence of foreign directors, and audit committee independence.

We used a method of static panel for a sample of 11 banks in Tunisia between (2000…2018). We found that bank capital has a significant impact on ROA. But capital has a non significant effect on bank return on equity and not significant impact on bank net interest margin.

For such primary objective, annually based data collected from 2004 to 2016. The data taken from annual financial reports which issued by conventional banks.  We have used ADF (Augmented Dickey Fuller) test to examine the unit-root of variables. Moreover, the multiple linear regression utilized for hypothetical estimation. The results indicates that corporate governance and conventional banks profitability of Pakistan are bidirectional (positive-negative) associated to each other. In addition, the board size (Board Directors) is negatively associated with Return on assets and return on equity of banks. Similarly, the board independence (Insider-Outsider Board Directors) is positively influenced to return on assets and return on equity of conventional banks of Pakistan. The overall findings shows that board size and board independence are highly associated with return on equity than return on assets. Moreover, banking sector in developing countries the board size should contain on appropriate strength and acquire more professional and qualified staff. An optimal number of directors in a board size there is a need of commercial banks as to increase the profitability.

The paper examines corporate governance and its impact on the financial performance of commercial banks in Ghana. The study employs a sample of twenty commercial banks with one hundred and thirty-eight observations. Data is sourced from the audited financial statements of commercial banks through the Orbis database for seven years, from 2011 to 2017. The study employs return on assets (ROA) as a proxy for bank profitability. Also, the study uses the cost to income ratio, bank size, net interest margin, board composition, bank age, and board size as independent variables. A random-effect and linear regression are applied. The empirical findings reveal that board composition, bank size, and net interest margin significantly impacted bank profitability. However, the cost to income ratio and bank age had a significant negative impact on bank profitability. On the other hand, board size had no significant impact on bank profitability. The study recommends that bank owners appoint experts and an adequate number of independent directors to help reduce conflict of interest and make effective decisions. Furthermore, banks should implement efficient cost-saving mechanisms to cut their overhead costs as enormous overhead costs reduce bank profitability. Banks should periodically organize campaigns on deposit mobilization to increase their assets as huge asset banks have the advantage of diversifying their assets, thus minimizing risk in the volatility period. Finally, banks should develop efficient loan recovery strategies to improve their asset quality, as this significantly impacts banks' net interest margin and profitability.

AbstractThis study empirically investigates the impact of bank profitability, as a complementary measure of financial development, on growth in the Arab countries between 1985 and 2016. Using a generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation to test the impact of the bank profitability on growth, this study utilises two variables in the econometric model which are return on assets and return on equity. This study reveals that both variables of bank profitability are positive and significant. This confirms that the bank profitability, beside other financial development variables, has positive impact on the growth. This study points out some important implications based on this result.

O objetivo deste estudo é analisar os fatores determinantes da rentabilidade do setor bancário brasileiro, medido por três indicadores: Rentabilidade dos Ativos (return on assets - ROA), Rentabilidade do Capital Próprio (return on equity - ROE) e Margem Líquida dos Juros (net interest margin - NIM). A metodologia explicativa das variáveis selecionadas consiste em um modelo econométrico que combina as caraterísticas específicas dos bancos, elementos setoriais e variáveis macroeconômicas, obtendo-se estimativas com recurso aos mínimos quadrados ordinários PLS (panel least squares-painel) com efeitos fixos. A amostra é constituída por dados semestrais de um painel dos dez maiores bancos do Brasil em ativos totais, no período compreendido entre 2007 a 2017. Os resultados indicam que a rentabilidade das instituições bancárias brasileiras depende da evolução das suas variáveis específicas, sendo entretanto grandemente influenciado pelos determinantes macroeconômicos, cuja significância estatística é recorrente. Contudo, a preponderância dos fatores explicativos para as proxies da rentabilidade (ROA, ROE e NIM) não foram uniforme. Os fatores que melhor explicam o indicador ROA são a qualidade dos ativos e a variável exógena do crescimento do produto interno bruto - PIB, enquanto que para o indicador ROE acrescem duas variáveis internas: alavancagem financeira e eficiência. Quando a medida da rentabilidade utilizada é o indicador NIM, as regressões evidenciam um nível explicativo global superior com as seguintes variáveis específicas: alavancagem financeira, qualidade do ativo, liquidez, custo do financiamento e estrutura do ativo, influênciando significativamente na rentabilidade. Destaca-se também a importância da concentração bancária, do crescimento do PIB e em menor grau da taxa de juro e inflação, como determinantes do NIM.

The role of corporate governance (CG) is to ensure functioning of companies in accordance with their formulated objectives to ensure growth of corporate assets and satisfaction of the owners. In addition to management of the company, there are other stakeholders whose interests need to be considered in meeting the owners' objectives. These include creditors, employees, clients, and the wider context of the business. The aim of this paper is to explore and compare the impact of selected financial and non-financial determinants representing the interests of these groups on corporate financial performance. The influence of determinants of CG on financial performance, measured by return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE) and return on sales (ROS) indicators, is investigated by means of correlation analysis. The sample of enterprises used consists of non-financial joint-stock companies listed on the Bratislava Stock Exchange, insurance companies, and banks based in Slovakia. The findings show that each of the investigated determinants of CG affects financial performance of companies. ROA, ROE and ROS of share issuers are significantly influenced by the total equity (EQ), average remuneration (AR) and number of the Board of Supervisor members (BSM). With banks, performance indicators are only influenced by total personal costs (PC). ROA, ROE and ROS of all companies are influenced by the dividend ratio (DR), EQ, AR and BSM.
