The determinants of banking performance in Tunisia

The objective of this book is to examine the determinants of banking performance for 8 Tunisian banks during the Arab Spring. We used cointegration analysis and the ARDL Panel model, explaining using total assets, bank credits, guarantees and bank size as performance drivers. The correlation analysis shows that there is a positive correlation relationship between total assets, bank credits, guarantees, bank size and bank performance. Long-term empirical results show that bank loans, guarantees, bank size and total assets have a positive and significant impact on bank performance. This means that bank credits, guarantees, bank size, and total assets are very important determinants of bank performance in Tunisia.
